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. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.

Regression:

Goblet squat with a light counterweight to reinforce an upright torso and depth simultaneously.

Progression:

Progress to a single-leg squat variation: Bulgarian split squat, pistol squat, or shrimp squat.

Common Problems:

Bouncing out of the bottom — enforce a pause at the bottom to eliminate elastic rebound.
