- None
- Equipment:
- Straps

Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Rebound out of the bottom with hip drive, not by leaning the chest forward.
- 2. Think of sitting between your heels rather than sitting back onto them.
- 3. Quality of movement always takes priority over speed or load.
- 4. Take air in at the top, brace, descend; exhale on the way up through the sticking point.
Regression:
Goblet squat with a light counterweight to reinforce an upright torso and depth simultaneously.
Progression:
Progress to a single-leg squat variation: Bulgarian split squat, pistol squat, or shrimp squat.
Common Problems:
Knees caving inward — cue active push out against the floor. Heel rise — widen stance or elevate heels slightly.
