Squat Static Holds Guide

Squat static holds, also known as isometric squats or wall sits, are an isometric exercise that primarily target the quadriceps muscles. This exercise is performed by lowering into a squat position and holding the position without any movement for a certain amount of time. The glutes, hamstrings, and core muscles are also activated as secondary muscles to help maintain stability during the hold. Calves and lower back muscles may also be engaged to a lesser degree. Squat static holds are often used as a supplemental exercise to improve lower body strength and endurance.
