Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Depth before load — achieve full range with bodyweight before adding resistance.
  2. 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  3. 3. Think of sitting between your heels rather than sitting back onto them.
  4. 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.
