Use the straps to groove a deep, clean squat.
Let the straps support balance, not pull you up, your legs should do the work.
The Suspension Squat uses the straps as a counterbalance so you can sit into a deeper squat than you could manage free-standing, keeping your torso upright while the quads control the descent and drive you back up. The glutes join in out of the bottom, especially once your thighs drop below parallel. It earns its spot as a depth teacher, a knee-friendly leg builder for beginners, and a high-rep burner for anyone.
Very. The straps take balance out of the equation so you can learn to hit real depth with an upright chest, then gradually use less arm support until you are squatting free.
If the straps are hauling you up, yes. Keep your arms long and let the handles do balance duty only, your legs should feel every rep on the way down and up.
Below parallel. Depth is the whole point of the straps, so use their support to own the bottom position, pause there if you want extra quad work, and stand up through your heels.
