This movement uniquely isolates the quadriceps and creates an extreme contraction of the rectus femoris muscle. It is designed as a supplementary isolation exercise for advanced athletes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSafe and Controlled with the Machine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePerforming a Sissy Squat without assistance is difficult to balance and requires a lot of practice.
