Focus

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  2. 2. Break at hips and knees simultaneously to initiate the descent.
  3. 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.

Regression:

Assisted squat using TRX or a doorframe to offload bodyweight while practising full range.

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.
