Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Neutral ribcage — avoid flaring ribs as you descend.
  2. 2. Create rotational torque by screwing feet into the floor — activates glutes before the movement begins.
  3. 3. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  4. 4. Engage the core before initiating any movement.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Load the pattern with an uneven implement (single kettlebell, offset barbell) to increase lateral stability demand.

Common Problems:

Chest collapsing forward at depth — reinforce upright torso cue and reduce load until the position is owned.
