sissy squats do anything?

[dfauteux]

I was reading a little on sissy squats, I was thinking of throwing in a couple sets before my real squats. Do they help any? And what is the propor way to do them ?

You better have good knees if your doing them this way. I dont do them.

Well, to be honest THAT's not the sissysquat that I know of. The way I have seen done is your basic squat movement with one hand on some sort of support to help you up and down if you need it or want it. ?

i really like sissy squats. i typically will use the rope attachement and wrap it around a pole or an upright and then lean back and perform them as in the video.

you definitely don't want to perform them before your regular squats. they're much better as a finishing move at the end of your leg workout in my opinion.

the sissy squat is a GREAT stretch-muscle movement for the quads

hey LAM - do you do them before squatting or after? i've only used them at the end of my leg routine...(which doesn't mean that's the best way - it's just what i've preferred)

I always do them as the last thing for legs

Do you have a link to pics/vid for they type you are referring to?

If my Leg routine is :
Squats
Leg Ext
Lying Leg Curls
Claves (seated)
Calves(standing)
Abs

I guess i would be doing them after calves and before abs, right?

Uh...no. Im much bigger than that! lol

BULK ME UP: No, I dont have link. I was just saying that the guys I know who do them and the people in a video I used to have didnt do them like the guy in the link I posted. Right or wrong I dont know, just not what I was used to seeing.

Definitely don't want to try it after abs since you need your stomach tight when doing it to keep your back straight, it's a good little ab worker in itself.
