Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Avoid compensation patterns; if form breaks, address the limiting factor.
  2. 2. Break at hips and knees simultaneously to initiate the descent.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  4. 4. Full foot contact with the floor — heel, arch, and ball stay grounded.

Regression:

Box squat to a high surface to reduce depth and build confidence. Use bodyweight only until full range is achieved with neutral spine.

Progression:

Increase load with barbell, front squat, or add a pause at the bottom to remove elastic rebound.

Common Problems:

Not reaching full depth — address hip mobility or add a heel elevation to allow full range without compensation.
