Resistance Band Squat
The resistance band squat adds accommodating resistance to the squat pattern, increasing tension as you stand up where you are strongest. Stand on the band and hold the ends at shoulder height, then squat and drive up against the increasing resistance.
How to Perform
Stand on the center of the band with feet shoulder-width apart.
Hold the band ends at your shoulders with elbows high to mimic a front rack.
Squat to full depth while keeping constant tension on the band.
Drive up explosively — the band resistance peaks at the top where your quads are strongest.
Common Mistakes to Avoid
Using a band that is too light, providing almost no meaningful resistance at the top.
Letting the band pull your hands down and your torso forward.
Rushing through reps instead of controlling the eccentric to maximize time under tension.
