The B-Stance Kettlebell Squat: For those quad gains 💣

---

💡 A Varriation Worth A Try

The B-Stance Kettlebell Squat—a simple yet effective variation that builds muscle, improves mobility, and fixes common strength imbalances.

This exercise combines a regular squat with a single-leg squat. Instead of planting both feet evenly, you shift most of your weight to one leg while keeping the other foot slightly behind for balance.

What's in it for you?

Low-Impact but Effective. This exercise doesn't demand heavy weights or explosive movements. It's easy on the joints and, as mentioned in last week's TT, has a lower axis load. Yet, it still delivers serious strength benefits, especially for your quads and glutes.

Improved Stability and Balance. By focusing on one leg at a time, the B-Stance squat challenges your working leg to work harder and in maintaining stability throughout.

Help with Muscle Imbalances. Let's face it—most of us have one leg that's a bit stronger than the other. Maybe it's from sitting unevenly or favouring one leg over the years. The B-Stance squat helps even out these imbalances by targeting one side more directly, which can be helpful in reducing injury risk over time.

How to Do It

Grab a kettlebell and hold it at chest level. Set one foot slightly back with your toes on the ground but your heel lifted. Lower into a squat, putting most of your weight on your front leg. Keep your chest up, and push through your heel as you rise back up. Aim for 10-12 reps each leg.

Wrap-Up

The B-Stance Kettlebell Squat is a simple, effective way to stay strong, balanced, and injury-free. Give it a try, and your legs will thank you—just maybe not in the following 24 hours!
