Gymstick Squat

Video coming soon...

The gymstick squat workout is a targeted exercise that primarily focuses on the quadriceps.

By incorporating the gymstick into the squat, it adds resistance and intensifies the workout for the quads.

While the gymstick also engages secondary muscles, its main purpose is to maximize the effectiveness of quad training.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding the gymstick horizontally across your upper back, gripping it with both hands.
Engage your core and keep your chest lifted as you slowly lower your body by bending your knees and hips, as if you were sitting back into a chair.
Continue to lower yourself until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as low as you can comfortably go.
Pause briefly at the bottom, then push through your heels to return to the starting position, straightening your legs and squeezing your glutes.
Repeat the movement for the desired number of repetitions, maintaining a controlled and steady pace.
Remember to keep your knees in line with your toes and avoid letting them collapse inward.

Start by standing with feet shoulder-width apart and holding the gymstick across your shoulders, gripping it firmly.
Engage your core and keep your chest up as you lower your body down into a squat position, bending at the knees and hips.
Ensure your knees are tracking over your toes and avoid letting them collapse inward.
Focus on pushing through your heels as you drive back up to the starting position, squeezing your quads at the top.
Keep a controlled tempo throughout the exercise, avoiding any bouncing or jerking movements.
For added challenge, you can increase the resistance of the gymstick or try different variations like sumo squats or Bulgarian split squats.
