Men\u2019s Classic Physique standout, Wesley Vissers is building momentum for the 2026 Olympia final thanks to solid wins at the Arnold Classic<\/a> and Detroit Pro,\u00a0and the Dutch Oak recently shared that his favorite quad crushers could be one of bodybuilding\u2019s most underrated exercises: the sissy squat.<\/p>\n Specifically, Vissers, who has been praised for packing some size on to his legs in recent months, leans into the hack squat machine to slave away on his sissies. \u201cNot only does it stretch the quads all the way to the top, it also stretches the hips and ankles at the same time,\u201d explained the big man.<\/p>\n The sissy squat differs from the regular squat<\/a> in that the back does not remain vertically parallel. Instead, the lifter will move onto their toes as the weight descends, allowing the back to become more horizontal. Then, as the weight is returned, the feet become flat and the back returns to an upright position. \u201cMore range of motion, more stretch = more muscle development,\u201d qualified Vissers in a recent Instagram demonstration. \u201cTry these before any normal squat or leg press movements and you\u2019ll be surprised.\u201d<\/p>\n Combining the humble hack squat with the sissy hack squat makes sense because the hack squat will blast the entire quad muscle, while the sissy will target the front of the thigh. In a previous post, Vissers even detailed his approach.<\/p>\n \t\t<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThis might be the best superset you can do, for your quads,\u201d offered Vissers as he shared his upper leg building strategy in a previous post. \u201cTry it if you dare.\u201d<\/p>\n Installing himself on the hack squat machine, Vissers explained that since the sissy squat is one of the most difficult variations, he prefers to stick with it to failure. But once you\u2019ve done that, don\u2019t be tempted to think you\u2019re done, says the Dutch Oak. \u201cIt\u2019s a superset as we go to the regular hack squat, which is obviously a lot stronger and easier to do,\u201d he adds. \u201cSo, you can actually do a lot more reps with the regular hack squat, after your quads are already \u2018toast\u2019 from the sissy hack squat. Making this an incredible, safe, and effective superset to do.
