Band Squat Row
The band squat row is a band exercise that targets the glutes, with the hamstrings, quadriceps and back assisting.
How to do the band squat row
- Attach the band to a sturdy anchor point at waist height.
- Stand facing the anchor point with your feet shoulder-width apart.
- Hold the band handles with your palms facing each other and your arms extended in front of you.
- Bend your knees and lower into a squat position, keeping your back straight and chest lifted.
- From the squat position, pull the band handles towards your body, squeezing your shoulder blades together.
- Pause for a moment at the top, then slowly release the tension and return to the starting position.
- Repeat for the desired number of repetitions.
Sets and reps
Start with 3 sets of 10–15 reps, resting 45–60 seconds. When every set feels easy, add reps, slow the lowering phase or move to a harder variation.
Muscles worked
The main muscle is the glutes. The hamstrings, quadriceps and back work as secondary muscles. See all glute exercises or every resistance band exercise.
