Squats
Muscles Used: Quadriceps, Hamstrings, Glutes and Core
The above movements require the use of the SBR Lifting Vest. Place Yokes in attachment sites on Platform base and lock into
place with pins. Attach appropriate band colors and number to Yokes, securing safety stops. Attach bands to the appropriate d-
rings on vest. Make sure that the bands have little to no slack when in the down position. Have individual stand between Yokes
so that hands and shoulders are aligned with Yokes. Have individual bend elbows and lock hands in front of shoulders. Carefully
squat down with correct body mechanics, keeping the weight on heels, hips back and a slight lumbar arch. Keeping hands
locked in place have individual carefully rise into full upright position. Maintain a slight bend in the knees at the top. It may be
necessary to have the client squat on a step or riser.
Variations: This exercise can be done using the standard equipped handles. The client will keep their hands either locked in
front of the shoulders or out to the sides depending on the client's shoulder stability and strength. A squat press can also be
performed by pressing the handles above the client's head at the top of the squat. Squat can be done with a jump at the top to
increase vertical jumping power. This can also be done on a BOSU® Ball.

Adjust Arms to place Yokes into a Y-position then add correct color and number of bands securing safety latches. Facing the
SBR Spine, have client bend at hips with bent knees then adjust Chest Plate to be slightly above client's head. With correct
knee and back mechanics, have client align their fully extended arms with the angle of their torso lean and band line of pull. A
straight line from Yokes through arms and torso. Have client slowly depress shoulder blades then pull elbows into torso, run-
ning parallel to the floor then slowly extend arms out to start position.
