Band Squat (Assisted)

How to do it

Anchor a resistance band to a point above you and step under it so it loops across your upper back or hips, providing upward assistance.
Stand with feet shoulder width apart directly beneath the anchor point and settle the band snugly before beginning.
Bend your knees and sit your hips back into the squat, letting the band's upward pull support you through the deepest part of the range.
Descend to your full comfortable depth, keeping your quadriceps and glutes working even though the band reduces the load at the bottom.
Drive through your feet to stand, exhaling as you complete the assisted rep with a controlled tempo.
Keep the ascent controlled and deliberate instead of letting the band bounce you up.
