The old-school quad burner with extra load.
Hold something for balance if needed, keep hips and torso in one line, the stretch should hit the quads, not the knees painfully.
The Weighted Sissy Squat isolates the Quads — no passengers. That makes it a clean tool for adding targeted quads volume without extra fatigue.
The Weighted Sissy Squat primarily works the Quads.
Pick a weight where you finish each set with 1 to 2 clean reps left in the tank. Own the top of your rep range before adding weight.
For most lifters 3 to 4 working sets. Pick the rep range that fits your goal and progress the load when the top of the range feels owned.
