Key Teaching Points:
- 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
- 2. Depth before load — achieve full range with bodyweight before adding resistance.
- 3. Neutral ribcage — avoid flaring ribs as you descend.
- 4. Rebound out of the bottom with hip drive, not by leaning the chest forward.
Regression:
Box squat to a high surface to reduce depth and build confidence. Use bodyweight only until full range is achieved with neutral spine.
Progression:
Increase load with barbell, front squat, or add a pause at the bottom to remove elastic rebound.
Common Problems:
Chest collapsing forward at depth — reinforce upright torso cue and reduce load until the position is owned.
