'This video walks you through 3 variations of banded squats so that you can learn how to do heavy squats with bands!    Doing a resistance band squat can often be a bit challenging to setup in an efficient and effective way that will allow you to get strength building resistance.  Below are 3 different ways to do resistance band squats that will give you good activation and allow you to load up the resistance so you can build strength with bands.  Any of these exercises are great to throw into your next resistance band leg workout.   Exercise 1:  Banded Front Squat   In this exercise, we use 1 41\" loop resistance band and loop it around the feet and over the front of the shoulders in a front squat configuration.  You won\'t be able to go as heavy with this lift, but it will really engage your quads and anterior chain muscles to build nice sweeping quads.    Exercise 2:  X Band Squat (banded back squat) This exercise uses 2x 41\" loop bands with one band looped over each shoulder and crossed in the center while attaching  each band under the arch of the opposite foot.  This exercise will feel most like a typical barbell squat, and allow you to crank up the resistance to engage the quads, glutes, hamstrings, and stabilizers.    Exercise 3:  X Band Squat w/ roller (banded hack squat) This is the same setup as the last exercise, but with a foam roller behind you pinched between your back and a wall.  Position your feet out in front of you so that when you squat down your knees go to a 90 degree angle and the tip of your knee stays just behind the toe.  Use a nice slow and controlled tempo with a big squeeze at the top of the rep stopping just before full knee lockout.   You should really be able to go as heavy as possible here while keeping good form and control.     Throw these exercises into your next banded leg workout and you won\'t be disappointed!    Equipment used in this exercise:   41\" loop resistance bands from Clench Fitness.
