sissy squats
Quadriceps isolation movement
Sissy squats are a bodyweight exercise targeting the quadriceps, performed by leaning the torso backward while bending the knees and rising onto the toes—the opposite motion of a conventional squat.
The name comes from Sisyphus, the mythical king condemned to roll a boulder uphill eternally, whose punishment would have built legendary thigh strength.
I added sissy squats to my leg day routine.
