Contraindications:
None
Equipment:
Floor Based
Applicability:
Group
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:
Yes

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Full foot contact with the floor — heel, arch, and ball stay grounded.
  2. 2. Stand all the way up — lock hips out completely at the top of each rep.
  3. 3. Neutral ribcage — avoid flaring ribs as you descend.
  4. 4. Think of sitting between your heels rather than sitting back onto them.

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.
