- Knee Problems, Ankle/Calf Problems
- Equipment:
- Floor Based
- Applicability:
- Group&Focus
- Superset?:

- Sprint-able?:

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Create rotational torque by screwing feet into the floor — activates glutes before the movement begins.
- 2. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 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:
Box squat to a high surface to reduce depth and build confidence. Use bodyweight only until full range is achieved with neutral spine.
Progression:
Progress to a single-leg squat variation: Bulgarian split squat, pistol squat, or shrimp squat.
Common Problems:
Not reaching full depth — address hip mobility or add a heel elevation to allow full range without compensation.
