Sissy Squat
Sissy Squat.
From my personal vault of skate related exercises off-wheels, the Sissy Squat has been a staple for many years. So of course it's an essential addition, to the cluster of strength exercises of the Rollgevity program.
A build up of 5 levels is displayed in this video, which you can adopt and incorporate into your own pace & space.
00:00 Rollgevity intro
00:09 Prayer's push-up
01:12 Heel centered squat
01:46 Crouching Tiger, Humpin' Dragon
02:28 Knee'd 2 Tumble
02:58 Sissy Squat (Slightly modified)
3 to 5 sets of 8 to 15 reps, two times a week for three months, will definitely fire up your skate flow and skill development.
A separate sissy squat bench is another (more sophisticated) way of getting the best out of this exercise. Performing this exercise makes grown fitness gangsters cry for their mammas.
And yes, of course I own one and that tells you all you need to know, about how important and influential I classify this exercise. 👊🏾
Fun note:
Sissy squat was named after Sisyphus ( Greek mythological figure), once king of Corinth, but ended up on the bad side of divine powers by his own wrong doings, for which he eventually was punished by eternally pushing a rock up a steep hill.
