Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Stand all the way up — lock hips out completely at the top of each rep.
- 2. Drive knees in line with the second and third toes throughout the full range.
- 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
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:
Add a tempo — 4-second descent, 2-second pause, 1-second up — to extend time under tension.
Common Problems:
Bouncing out of the bottom — enforce a pause at the bottom to eliminate elastic rebound.
