Live Lean Nation, on today’s exercise demonstration, I’m showing you how to do a Prisoner Squat.
The prisoner squat is a more advanced bodyweight squat variation as you place your hands behind your head. It not only works your quads, hamstrings, glutes, and calves, but it also challenges your mobility.
Watch the Prisoner Squat exercise demonstration video above.
To perform Prisoner Squat:
1. Place your hands behind your head and interlock your fingers. Stick your chest out and pull your elbows back.
2. As you lower down into the squat, think about how you would sit in a chair. Hips go back first, followed by bending your knees. The bottom of your foot should remain firmly pressed against the ground at all times.
3. Go down as low as you can while keeping the natural arch in your back.
4. To rise up, squeeze your glutes, and press your feet through the ground.
