Equipment:
Dumbbell
Applicability:
Group
Superset?:
Yes
Sprint-able?:

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Neutral ribcage — avoid flaring ribs as you descend.
  2. 2. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  3. 3. Full foot contact with the floor — heel, arch, and ball stay grounded.

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:

Knees caving inward — cue active push out against the floor. Heel rise — widen stance or elevate heels slightly.
