Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  2. 2. Take air in at the top, brace, descend; exhale on the way up through the sticking point.
  3. 3. Stand all the way up — lock hips out completely at the top of each rep.

Regression:

Perform an air squat with a 3-second descent and pause at the bottom before adding any external load.

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

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