Belt Sissy Squat
Hang a plate from a dip belt around your hips and stand with your feet hip-width, holding a support for balance if needed. Rise onto the balls of your feet and lean your torso back as you bend your knees, letting them travel forward over your toes. Lower until your thighs and torso form a near-straight line and you feel a deep quad stretch, then drive through the front of your feet to return to the top. Keep your hips extended throughout so the movement stays focused on the quads.
