Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Establish a stable base before adding any dynamic component.
  2. 2. Keep chest tall by driving elbows down on a goblet or front squat variation.
  3. 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.

Regression:

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

Progression:

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

Common Problems:

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