Start Position: Sumo Squats are great for your inner thighs and glutes. They can be performed with a barbell, dumbbells, or a Smith Machine. The pictures depict
the barbell version. Position the bar behind your head, resting it on your shoulders/upper back.
Keep abs tight and shoulders back. Grasp bar and lift it off the rack. Feet should be wider than shoulder width apart with your toes pointing outward some.
MidPoint: Descend by lowering your glutes and bending your knees. Lower yourself to a point where your uppers legs are at least parallel to the floor. Keep your head up. Your back should have only a slight arch. Finish Position: As you reach the bottom of the movement, ascend back up to the starting position by pushing through your glutes and heels. Stop short of locking your knees to keep continuous stress on your legs, and then begin the next repetition. 10-15 reps per set. |
