Pulse Back Squat

IntermediateBodyweight

A back squat with a small pulse added at the bottom, where you come up a few inches and drop back down before standing fully. That extra bounce keeps the quads, glutes, and hamstrings loaded longer, cranking up time under tension for endurance and growth. A simple tweak that makes a familiar lift far more demanding.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Set the bar on a rack a notch below shoulder height.

  2. 2

    Grip it overhand slightly wider than shoulder-width.

  3. 3

    Duck under and settle the bar on the shelf of your traps just below your neck.

  4. 4

    Stand up to unrack it, step back, and set your feet about shoulder-width apart with core braced and back flat.

  5. 5

    Push your hips back and bend your knees over your toes to descend into the squat under control.

  6. 6

    From the bottom, rise a few inches, then sink back down, then fully extend your legs to stand and finish the rep.
