Squat Thrust

Q: What muscles does Squat Thrust work?

Squat Thrust primarily trains Cardio, Shoulders, Quadriceps and Abs. LIFTAG tags each set to those muscle groups so weekly volume and body-part splits stay honest.

Q: Which gym machines can I use for Squat Thrust?

Squat Thrust is mapped to Functional Zone (Bodyweight & Core) in the LIFTAG catalog. At a partner gym the tag on those machines opens this exercise with setup notes ready to log.

Compound · Weight × reps · Time

The squat thrust cycles between standing, a crouch, and plank without the push-up or vertical jump used in many burpee variations. It trains whole-body coordination and can raise cardiovascular demand through repeated transitions.

HOW TO DO SQUAT THRUST

Stand with feet about hip-width apart, squat or hinge to place both hands on the floor, and jump the feet back into a firm high plank.
Keep the shoulders over the hands and hips aligned, then jump the feet forward near the hands and stand tall.
Step the feet back and forward to reduce impact, use a non-slip surface, and slow or stop when the lower back sags, feet land unevenly, or hand placement becomes careless.
