How to do the Sit Squats
- 1
Stand with your feet shoulder width apart. This will be your starting position.
- 2
Begin the movement by flexing your knees and hips, sitting back with your hips.
- 3
Continue until you have squatted a portion of the way down, but are above parallel, and quickly reverse the motion until you return to the starting position. Repeat for 5-10 repetitions.
Log it, see it on your body.
Every Sit Squats set you log feeds Ascend's anatomy heatmap — so your quads volume is visible at a glance — and counts toward your bodyweight-strength tier.
