Handle Squats
Category: Supplemental, Accessory
Muscles Targeted: Legs, Hips
This exercise has been used for years, but many have forgotten about it. One of the main benefits of this exercise is that you do not have a bar on your back. This can ease the stress of your shoulders quite a bit.
To do a handle squat (as shown in the picture) attach a DD handle to the belt squat, take a medium/wide stance and begin by pushing your glutes back. You can use a narrow stance but have found it a little awkward when holding the handle.
If you have very short legs or want a bigger ROM, you can stand on blocks or plates.
