Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Neutral ribcage — avoid flaring ribs as you descend.
  2. 2. Rebound out of the bottom with hip drive, not by leaning the chest forward.
  3. 3. Keep chest tall by driving elbows down on a goblet or front squat variation.

Regression:

Assisted squat using TRX or a doorframe to offload bodyweight while practising full range.

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

Knees caving inward — cue active push out against the floor. Heel rise — widen stance or elevate heels slightly.
