Men’s classic physique standout Wesley Vissers is speeding up the pace for the 2026 Olympic final. hard wins at the Arnold Classic and Detroit Pro, and Dutch Oak recently shared that his favorite quad might be one of the most underrated exercises in bodybuilding: the squat.
In particular, Vissers, who in recent months has been praised for closing his legs, relies on a hacking machine to enslave his sister. “He not only stretches his quadriceps up, but also his legs at the same time,” explained the big man.
What is a Sissy Squat?
The sissy squat is different from the regular squat in that the back does not remain vertically parallel. Instead, the lift moves to your toes as the weight drops, allowing the back to become more horizontal. Then, as the weight is returned, the legs straighten and the back returns to a straight position. “More range of motion, more length = more muscle development,” Vissers said in a recent Instagram post. “Try these before any regular squats or leg presses, and you’ll be surprised.”
It makes sense to combine the humble hack squat with the sissy hack squat because the hack squat will blast all the quads, while the sissy will target the front of the thigh. In an earlier post, Vissers even detailed his relationship.
Wesley Visser’s Sissy Squat / Hack Squat Superset
“This might be the best superset you can do for your quads,” Vissers said when sharing his upper leg-building strategy in a previous post. “Try if you dare.”
Installing himself on the squat machine, Vissers explained that since the squat is one of the most difficult variations, he prefers to go with it to failure. But once you’ve done it, don’t be tempted to think you’re done, says Dutch Oak. “It’s a superset when we go into a regular hack squat, which is obviously much stronger and easier,” he adds. “So you can do more reps with the regular hack squat after your quads are already ‘tested’ from the hack squat. It’s an incredible, safe and effective superset to do. Give yourself a shot.”
