Key Teaching Points:

- 2. Take air in at the top, brace, descend; exhale on the way up through the sticking point.
- 3. Keep chest tall by driving elbows down on a goblet or front squat variation.
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.
