For taller people with longer legs, these do much more for your quads than a traditional squat, which only activates glutes and hamstrings due to leg length
Yeah I was going to say, for me they work well but for my wife they completely blow up her quads. She proportionally has long femers. Even when she squats 315 for sets of more than 5 she still mainly feels it in her qlutes and hamstrings, but doesn’t feel too much in her quads. But when she uses sissy squats less than one set in and she has a full pump already.
The muscles used to support weight up or down don't change because ones legs are longer. It's like saying a bicep curl only uses the triceps if you have a longer arm
@@VapeandJuiceTV I wouldn't say the mechanics of a single joint exercise like a curl is the same as a multi joint one. The squat is more similar to an overhead press. Can you make an overhead press more shoulder or tricep or chest focused?
For everyone saying it’s bad for your knees, it can be if you don’t regress the exercise to your level. Progress slowly overtime and it will make your quads bigger, more flexible/mobile and bulletproof your knees.
Thank you! I am going to do these when I bulk again and I couldn't figure out how to do them properly. I was rather concerned. I presume I could load this somewhat by holding plates. So at least up to 55 lbs. Should last a while.
@@Mr123tallpaul Yeah I done my leg workout today and some of the kneeling ones at the end. Surprisingly difficult, I'm probably more hamstring dominant so it could be a good one to keep doing.
If there are people out there that think that this exercises is pointless...it's not. The sissy squat works the teardrop muscle of the quads (vastus medialis) while the regular squat does not, the regular squat targets the vastus lateralis which is the the biggest muscle of the quads located at the outer side from the front view. If you want the complete asthetic look of complete quads, you need to perform both exercises. Trust me it makes a difference.
Ben Patrick, aka KneesOverToesGuy, recommends these as part of the programs he sells (I think). He's had a knee partially replaced and was told that he should never play sports again. Look him up
no. this is an old belief. if you ease into it they will make your knees stronger. itd probably be bad for someone really weak and deconditioned to hop into deep sissies off the bat tho.

Why isn't it called the Matrix squat
I LOL'ed ^___^
Because the matrix squat already exists. It's done with a roman chair squat, and its a much more advanced exercice.
Because the sissy squat existed way before the movie "the matrix" came out. I was doing sissy squats in the 80's.
Because nobody is shooting at him
YESSS
Sissy squats are goated for knee health
Why

and large quadriceps.
Great video and demonstration. I never knew there was a kneeling version.

How exactly do you think you extend your knees in the squat without using your quads? Find me an elite powerlifter with small quads

Did it. Now I have to dig my knee caps out of the ceiling
Thats great dude im lovin it im gonna try both of them thanks !

My left knee cap will crunch doing this, not risking it as a regular exercise but might give the kneeling variation a go thanks.
Do it after at least two other quad exercises … if you’re nice and warmed up it’ll be fine
@@Mr123tallpaul Yeah I done my leg workout today and some of the kneeling ones at the end. Surprisingly difficult, I'm probably more hamstring dominant so it could be a good one to keep doing.
The kneeling version is a reverse Nordik..
Once you’re proficient enough with these you can progress to the Sissy hack squat
If you have a right equipment
In your BD Home gym plan, u mention the KSQ but negatives, are this the same?
I used sissy squats in between leg press sets. Good fun!
I have never seen these done before. Gonna give 'em a try!

I trust you
In Future we trust
@@hornet-h3v without trust..there is no hope.
Wouldnt this hurt your feet too much? Like tearing the skin under my toes
God I love to hate this. It's up there with the Bulgarian Split Squat. Thanks dude.
I've completely tossed back squats for sissy+ Bulgarian and it's so much better for me.
Thanks man
Why it's not Dio or wry squat.
very nice visual quality 4K
love it, new move to try out on the road.
I'm a little concerned about trying these as I have had both knees operated on for meniscus tears. Are they safe for the knees or risky?

I get like 65% of the way down and my muscles feel so big and tight I can't go down more without collapse lol. Holding on 2 something for now
tigerblood jewel, love it!
stay buff 💪
Dude, just watching you sissy squat with the camera dip was enough for a 👍
I recommend getting a sissy squat machine. Worth the investment.
Never tried these at all, Look forward to adding them for a bit of a change.
you only have one pair of knees, said pair can only be broken once for effect that lasts a lifetime.
choose wisely. :)
There's a sheering damage effect in the knee with leg extension machines or sissy squats. Not recommended 😕
Bro is that a JOJO reference????
Hi
💟
New exercise to add to the routine. Noice.
Nice 👍 forgot about these, did them a decade ago not sure how my body will react at 38 now though 😀 f**k it I'll give it a bash!
🥵
goat
isnt this extremely dangerous for your knees?
no. this is an old belief. if you ease into it they will make your knees stronger. itd probably be bad for someone really weak and deconditioned to hop into deep sissies off the bat tho.
NOOOOOOOOOO
hi buff dudes
sorry, i think i injured my kneee with those and i am definitely going to the doc soon !
Can we PLEASE stop calling these “Sissy” Squats?! I say we start calling them “Neo” Squats since you look like you’re dodging bullets.
Imagine doing these in a gym man, come on. Lesser known for good reason.
Don't be scared. Challenge any scoffers to try it.
Imagine worrying about what other gym goers think. Come on.
These are horrible for you, DO NOT do these
Wrong.
Incorrect, Nick.
