Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Full foot contact with the floor — heel, arch, and ball stay grounded.
- 2. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 3. Stand all the way up — lock hips out completely at the top of each rep.
- 4. Break at hips and knees simultaneously to initiate the descent.
Regression:
Assisted squat using TRX or a doorframe to offload bodyweight while practising full range.
Progression:
Add a tempo — 4-second descent, 2-second pause, 1-second up — to extend time under tension.
Common Problems:
Knees caving inward — cue active push out against the floor. Heel rise — widen stance or elevate heels slightly.
