Wow. Hearing Eric talk about goblet squats is serendipitous to me right now. Just got back from a trip to New Orleans and was limited to 50 lb dumbells in the hotel. I crushed a bunch of goblet squats with the 50's. I could barely walk around for the next couple of days! 😂 My quads have NEVER been that sore before. Was absolutely blown away at the DOMS I was experiencing. Lasted for a week! 😫 Definitely going to heed his advice and implement them from now on. 💪

As someone with major issues with their feet, leg extensions have been a blessing as my only exercise for my quads since I can no longer squat anymore.

[@Sanfu69]

No matter how strong I've gotten or long I've trained doing deep explosive jump squats holding a 35lb plate for 20 reps for 6 sets always leaves me destroyed. Destroyed like its the first time i did leg day. You feel all that suffering in the quads. quivering and suffering. humbling.

Something that really helped me with the quad extensions was starting to incorporate it with ONLY isometrics. Place the machine close to lockout, then lock out your knees and hold for time. A few sets of 60 second holds with light weight is AMAZING!

[@claytonnehls2578]

It might not beat squatting or regular hack squats, but sissy squat on the hack squat is pretty nice. You can still load some pretty serious weight and you can get as much or more stretch than the leg extension.

I think the key element is that Jeff is a pure bodybuilder and judges exercises almost exclusively based on hypertrophy. Jump squats are an S-tier to me because you're fucking jumping, precisely. The only better thing would be sprints. If you wanna develop your body, not just your physique, these are fantastic and essential. You don't wanna be a handicapped behemoth.

[@victorprokop9343]

I've been doing 100 rep sets of unilateral leg extensions sitting on top of the reverse hyper, leaning way back. Boy. Volumous VMO pumps, shaking legs, veins popping from the bloodflow. Now when I go up a flight of stairs, there is no cracking and popping (which was audible to people and freaked them out for YEARS) REMEMBER FELLAS! The liquid inside your articulations is just FILTERED BLOOD that has to go through a layer of cells that surround the meniscus for example.

[@TheJacali]

I really like the sissy squat. It helped me to be able to kneel down on the ground again. Which I genuinely had no ability to do after foot crush injuries & injuries to both hips & quads. Now is it a pencil neck exercise? In my opinion it’s a great tool for keeping the knees etc healthy so that you CAN squat some serious loads. I’m also a huge fan of super deep range of motion stretching on the quads too. You know the one where you lie on your back and pull your ankles under your butt. Super deep quad stretch.

[@halbritt]

I love the goblet squat to warmup for low bar back squat for the same reasons. Get deep and drive your knees out.

I don't think anyone (with sense) uses a sissy squat as a replacement for a regular back squat. It's actually a replacement for a leg extension, and is supposed to be in addition to a back squat...not instead of.

I do a four day a week upper lower split. I’ve programmed sissy squats on one day and extensions on the next. I basically do these to warm up my knee’s before moving on to my heavy quad exercises (back squat/hack squat). Since I’ve even mentioned warming up my knees I’ll also say that I do a leg curl or laying leg curl before any of the quad exercises I’m doing right now. It’s a good way to warm up your knees before really putting them under load from your quad exercises. This feels good for me and I hope that maybe this helps someone out. Basically my point is sissy squats are just the appetizer for me right now, not the main dish of horse cock.
