Reverse Band Power Squat

Reverse band power squats reduce strain at the bottom while increasing overload at the top — ideal for lifters building strength out of the hole.

Instructions

1. Attach resistance bands from the top of the rack to a barbell set on pins.
2. Step under the bar and place it across your upper back. Brace your core tightly.
3. Unrack the bar and take a wide stance, with knees tracking over your feet.
4. Lower yourself by pushing your hips back and bending your knees until your thighs are just below parallel.
5. Keep your spine straight and chest up throughout the descent.
6. Drive through your heels to return to standing, maintaining tension against the bands.
