4. Split squats. Another squat variation that strengthens your quads is the split squat. “Split squats will help you focus on your form because the movement is slower and more targeted,” he says.
The squat is performed by squatting down with a weight held across the upper back (below the neck) and standing up straight again. This is a compound exercise that also involves the glutes (buttocks) and, to a lesser extent, the hamstrings, calves, and the lower back. Lifting belts are sometimes used to help support the lower back.
Squeeze shoulder blades back and down and keep head in line with spine. Stop when you feel a moderate pulling sensation in the hamstrings. Then, drive feet into ground and stand back up.
