Sissy Squat Machines

The main benefit of a sissy squat smith machine is that you can really strengthen your quad muscles. It isolates and engages them so that they get an outstanding workout. The sissy squat machine also keeps the body balanced and keeps your feet aligned with your body while squatting.

As well as developing good form the sissy squat machine minimises the risk of a back injury and puts less stress on the knees, making it a popular piece of equipment with people who suffer from knee problems. It will encourage great posture as it keeps your feet aligned. 

This machine is beneficial for a variety of muscle groups. The main muscles worked are the quads, the large muscle in the front of the leg, which is important for walking, running, and jumping. The sissy machine also works the glutes, the hamstrings and the lower leg muscles, the gastrocnemius, and the soleus which all help to keep you strong and stable.

There are alternatives to the sissy machine including the leg press machine. This will work on your leg strength but in a different way and doesn’t deal with the issue of balance. You can also use free weights like the kettlebell to perform exercises like the Bulgarian Split Squat which also works the quads, hamstrings, and glutes. Don’t forget the hack squat machine, too.

When looking for sissy squat equipment do check that you are buying a machine made from quality materials, with sturdy steel frames. You should also make sure the machine allows you to make the right adjustments so it can be customised for you.
