Lever Chair Squat
Muscles involved
Adding the lever chair squat to your routine offers an effective way to pack size onto your quadriceps and glutes while keeping your spine supported. Working on a leverage machine allows you to push hard through the concentric phase and control the descent without worrying about losing balance at the bottom. The key benefit you will notice over time is greater lower-body strength and visibly fuller muscle development, alongside better joint comfort during heavy training. It gives you a reliable setup to push your legs to failure safely, maximizing muscle activation on every single repetition.
How to do it
1. Stand in front of a chair with feet shoulder-width apart. 2. Place your arms over your chest with hands touching your shoulders. 3. Lower by sitting on the chair, pushing your hips back. 4. Stand up by pushing through your heels.
