Step by step instructions, muscle activation and variants for the Horse Stance Squat.
The Horse Stance Squat is a wide-stance bodyweight squat performed with feet significantly wider than shoulder-width and toes pointing outward. It targets the inner thighs, quadriceps, and glutes while improving hip mobility and lower-body stability.
The Horse Stance Squat is a foundational movement that builds strength and muscle through controlled, progressive overload. Train it 1 to 2 times per week with 3 to 5 working sets per session, gradually adding weight or reps as form holds up.
