Bodyweight Pulse Squat
Muscles involved
The bodyweight pulse squat is an incredibly versatile drill depending on where you decide to place it in your workout plan. Using just your bodyweight, you can incorporate this move right at the beginning as a dynamic warm-up to wake up your gluteos and cuadriceps while lubricating your knee joints. Alternatively, placing it at the very end of your leg session turns it into a brutal finisher designed to completely fatigue your muscles through continuous tension. Staying low and pulsing creates a deep burn that tests your mental grit without adding external load. It fits seamlessly wherever you need to boost blood flow or push your lower body to failure.
How to do it
1. Adopt the low squat position with your chest open and core activated. 2. Perform small bounces at the bottom without fully rising. 3. Maintain control of the movement and avoid your knees collapsing. 4. Finish by rising slowly or holding the position according to the goal.
