Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
  2. 2. Break at hips and knees simultaneously to initiate the descent.
  3. 3. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.

Regression:

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

Progression:

Load the pattern with an uneven implement (single kettlebell, offset barbell) to increase lateral stability demand.

Common Problems:

Knees caving inward — cue active push out against the floor. Heel rise — widen stance or elevate heels slightly.
