Pulse squats are a squat variation that requires the person to remain in the bottom portion of the squat and pulse up and down here. It is a great progression from the bodyweight squat, and the technique can also be used with weighted squats.
Pulse squats place constant tension on the lower body muscles and challenges the muscles in a lengthened position, both which make this variation feel difficult.
Here, Personal Trainer Leah demonstrates how to do pulse squats.
Adopt your preferred squat stance by finding a foot positioning that feels comfortable, aiming for somewhere between shoulder and hip width apart. Slightly rotate your feet externally. If using weights, set up as you would for a weighted squat.
Engage your core and then squat down by pushing your hips back and bending at the knee, pushing the knees out to prevent them caving in.
Stop when you reach parallel or just below parallel with the floor. This is your starting position.
Drive up by pushing the ground away through the heels, stopping when you reach one quarter of the way to standing.
Squat back down to parallel, making sure to keep a neutral spine throughout. This is one rep.
After you’ve completed your reps, push through both feet until you’re standing tall, keeping a soft bend in the knee.
