Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Think of sitting between your heels rather than sitting back onto them.
- 2. Break at hips and knees simultaneously to initiate the descent.
- 3. Rebound out of the bottom with hip drive, not by leaning the chest forward.
- 4. Depth before load — achieve full range with bodyweight before adding resistance.
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:
Load the pattern with an uneven implement (single kettlebell, offset barbell) to increase lateral stability demand.
Common Problems:
Bouncing out of the bottom — enforce a pause at the bottom to eliminate elastic rebound.
