Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.
  2. 2. Rebound out of the bottom with hip drive, not by leaning the chest forward.
  3. 3. Keep chest tall by driving elbows down on a goblet or front squat variation.
  4. 4. Stand all the way up — lock hips out completely at the top of each rep.

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.
