Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
- 2. Depth before load — achieve full range with bodyweight before adding resistance.
- 3. Set feet at shoulder-width or wider with toes turned out to your natural angle.
Regression:
Assisted squat using TRX or a doorframe to offload bodyweight while practising full range.
Progression:
Load the pattern with an uneven implement (single kettlebell, offset barbell) to increase lateral stability demand.
Common Problems:
Not reaching full depth — address hip mobility or add a heel elevation to allow full range without compensation.
