Spanish Squat

The Spanish Squat is probably my most commonly prescribed quad strength & hypertrophy exercise. Give it a try and you will quickly see why. Wrap a heavy resistance band around a rig and then put one end behind each knee. Squat down and as you come back up, focus on driving your knees into the resistance band. At the top maintain a slight lean back into the band. This technique will keep constant tension on the quads and set them on fire! My preferred loading scheme is 20 reps with a heavy weight. 30 seconds rest before 20 with a moderate weight. Then another 30-second rest before finishing with just your bodyweight. #barbellphysio #thebarbellphysio The Barbell Physio - Improving the world’s of athletic performance, injury prevention, and rehabilitation.
