Keep your knees slightly bent at this point.Ģ) simply lower yourself down, leaning backwards, and go down as far as you can without losing your balance. You will backload the bar so that when you standing up, your neck will be in line with your knees. I’ll be doing 4 reps of 8 for the next 4 weeks to get some strength going, and then in January I’ll burn my legs out with my secret rep variations to bring my legs in tight for my photoshoot…You will looooove these, I promise!ġ) set your heels up on a block so that you are balancing on your toes, heels supported, and feet parallel, about shoulder distance apart. The first set I went light, just to figure out the dynamics of the lift, and then I started stacking on the plates. I don’t have wrist straps, so DBs were also out, so I made do with the smith machine. I tried them first with a barbell behind my legs, but found it too awkward. I tried these in my last leg training session, and immediately fell in love with them. My dream exercise!!!! If you’re a Bikram Yogi like me, these will remind you A LOT of the feeling of Craig Villani’s 2nd part of Awkward Pose…the longest leg shaking minute of your life. They really target the tear-drop muscles of the quads, as well as the quad sweep, while minimizing recruitment of the adductor muscle. While talking over some squat variations with my coach, Jean-Jacques Barrett, he suggested that I try these guys. We want shapely, sculpted, FEMININE legs. Not exactly what a Fitness Model is looking for.
If you’re like me, traditional squats put too much emphasis on upper thigh mass, giving you thick upper legs that rub together when you walk. Want to stand out from the crowd this year with some serious quad definition? I have the perfect leg exercise for you! Joe Weider’s Sissy Squats.
