In case anyone is confused, “Sisy Squat” is short for “Sisyphus Squat”, not calling them “sissy” as in a wimp.

pausing is great for neural adaptation/mobility gains but decline rapidly in hypertrophy induction the longer you stay in the hole.

@@MichL_71 idk exactly and idk if the answer has been found already. I did a mesocycle with 3-5 s in the bottom position and experienced medium gains and lots of mobility but I am intermediate and n=1. Zack Telander, the oly weightlifting guy, did a month or so with up to 10 s and he felt it reinvigorated his whole squat mindset etc. pp. so do with that what you will.

It’s my birthday today Jeff, and I just wanna say I’m so thankful to have come across your channel so early on in my lifting career, It definitely steered me down the right path.

I've been doing bottom half squats for a long time now. It's great to see this sort of exercises getting more and more popular and being recommended by someone like Jeff ^^

Ben Patrick’s KZread videos are where I learned about these movements a few years ago when he first blew up on KZread. I’ve been doing reverse nordics and sissy squats since then and my quads are more developed than ever before, especially the VMO. Not only that but my joints feel stronger and more resilient too. I can just generate more explosive power when lunging up stairs, running and jumping. I’d also recommend ATG split squats too, and perhaps poliquin step-ups. I still don’t see anybody else in my gym doing them though. Not even one person.

If nothing has gotten better in a MONTH then you've likely done structural damage. Hopefully you've followed up with a doctor and/or chiropractor by now.

Try hitting some hard and heavy sets of normal barbell back squats, then finish your quads off with some lighter, higher rep super stretch/eccentric-focused sissy squats or one of these 4 to pump up the quads to an immense degree

Loving the highlights

I've held off doing Sissy Squats in my first two years of training because Athlean X said they're bad for your knees. I tried them because Mike Israetel said they're one of the best quad exercises you can do. and indeed, Mike was right.

@soonerborn7603

Same! Dr. Mike is a lot more reliable than Jeff Cavaliere. Sissy squats and upright rows are two exercises that AX told me I should NEVER do, so I didn’t. I was missing out!

This guy is the Cardano of fitness videos. Evidence based. No nonsense. Just works.

Great video. Some of these exercises I've never seen and I've been working out for 15 years...!

Adding sets & reps would be amazing.

Great thing about the r.nordics and sissies is you can do them at home pretty easily if you can't make it to the gym. Kids come first and can't always get away so always looking for new exercises to sneak in when I can.

I really like the variant of the sissy squat using the cable machine. This is very creative and never seen before on youtube. I have used it and it is indeed a quad burner, only issue is that it is hard to progressively overload on. I recommend using a smith machine after mastering form and 4x8 comfortably.

I commented this on Wolf Coaching's channel about the same topic, with regards to the reverse nordic. I've really like setting up a cable machine much like you have the band, and using that to incrementally work from an assisted reverse nordic to a bodyweight one. Highly recommend.

Thanks for making this good and simple video. Everything is well explained and displayed

Thanks for the study I was really worried

Just did the nordics with the band! Thank you for the practical setup! Always wanted to try them. They are brutal. But I’ve watched this short 50x not for form, but because that last scene is 😂😂😂

Would love some more knee strength exercises! Some Jeff style stats and research on tendons and joints would be so killer.

I did legs yesterday and saw this video right before. I used the sissy squats and reverse nordics not as an excercise i was going to track but instead as active stretching and boy when i say i had THE BEST workout of my life my legs felt amazing my knee pain was damn near non existent thank u jeff for coming in ultra clutch

Was wanting some new exercises, perfect!

This Is awesome. So many ways to target the muscles! Amazing!

You are the man for this one thank you

Oh my god.. brutal is an understatement.. Jeff Nipard for the win again.. thank you my friend.. please please please keep up this long length partials series.. we want more.. 😂

Great knee workouts while working the Quads.

I need to save this video

My hip flexors cried when you did the reverse nordic curl.

First one looks insane!

Holy crap dude. I do these when I hate myself now. Lol. All is forgiven as soon as I'm done with this workout.

Sissy squat is actually rly good excersise. I have always done that, but without support tho and I love it! That way it also improve your balance

Respect to Jeff for peeling his skin off to showcase the quad muscle 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🔥🔥🔥

For anyone wondering sissy squats is a reference to the myth of Sisyphus and his pushing the rock up a hill for eternity.

I tried the reverse nordic last week and couldn’t even do 1. Didn’t even think about using a band. Thanks for the tip.

you can also do it using cables, easier to lower the weight as you get stronger

You described split squat mentality so well… you have to be in a special mental state to put yourself through that torture.

u earned a sub, great knowledge!

Wow I was already doing these at the end of my leg day, and I was calling it "stretching". People were asking me what am I doing and now I can name these! 😮 thank you!

Reverse Nordic is insane, gonna try them next leg day for sure 👍🏾. Hope my knee caps don’t shoot out 😣

After multiple ligament operations to my knee it’s screaming looking at these 😢

Thanks!

Damn Jeff. These are insane!

Scraping the skin off your legs so we can see the muscles is real commitment my dude.

I’ve tried the sissy squats (I still suck at them) and instead of the smith machine split squats, I do weighted reverse lunges. I feel like those are so good for quad development.

I told myself at the beginning of the video if I knew 2 I wouldn’t do anything if I knew 3 I’d dislike the video if I knew 4 id dislike and put it in my dont reccomend channels. But you have a like and a subscribe. You win.

I need those sissy squats for my knees. Definitely hitting these soon.

Sissy Squat, Bulgarian Split Squat, Hack Squat, & Pendulum Squat da best 👍

I think its the low barrier to entry that makes it possible. I think its sort of expected that once you show up youll naturally try to improve your improvement. But the more involved your second step the less likely you are to take that first step.

Will try those RevNordics! That's the only one new to me. I've never tried a sissy squat with that type of handle though, so that could be cool

That split squat made me hurt just looking at it haha

Muy buenos gracias!!

Bro is trying preparing for the St. Basil prayer

Will try

awesome!

Yeah, watching the last one "definite split squats" my immediate response even before the voice over chimed in was "F--k That!" lol!

Jeff, my demons left by the mere thought of doing that last exercise!

Bulgarian split squads only recommended after a heartbreak ⚠️

The end got me 💀💀💀

Jefffff Hit us with knee friendly back and leg workouts please

In regards to the cable sissy squat, make sure you have the weight set heavy

Thanks

What a legend

Amazing

I can also recommend pistol squats. Not only can you measure your strength but also your stability.

Bro you're a crazy😂😂😂I love it

My knees hurt just watching the sisy squat 😳

The Smith machine deficit split squat is in my regular leg routine. I feel my testosterone peaks after every set! They r fkn tearsome!

Never thought I would see Jeff fighting demons 😂

With all due respect Jeff all of these would make my knees explode 😂😂

Ok. Saving them for every fucking session.

my knees are crying just being seeing this

Knees over toes Ben Patrick has defeated the text books and previous research. Take note.

If you don’t have a smith machine use one dumbbell and a backpack so you have a hand to balance when you’re pushing hard

Looks intense

Sissy squats will make you feel the deepest part of the muscles

No one's knees were harmed in this video 😅

Barbell hack squat had left the chat . 🔥🔥🔥🎆🎆🎆

reverse nordics are sooooo good

Defecit split squats? 👀 Definitely adding that to the next leg day.
