Exercise Description

Bench Squat with Rotational Chop is a great exercise to increase the strength of legs, and it explicitly targets glutes, hamstrings, and quads. This exercise is also good to strengthen the core stability and rotational power.

Exercise Instructions

  • Step 1

    Stand in front of a bench about six inches away, and your feet should be a little wider than shoulder-width apart. Bring your hands together at arm's length and directly in front of your chest.
  • Step 2

    Push your hips back towards the bench and simultaneously cut your arms to the outside of one of your legs. Touch your glutes on the bench, pause, then return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side.
