None
Equipment:
Floor Based, Low Bands
Applicability:
Focus
Superset?:
No
Sprint-able?:
Yes

Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Drive knees in line with the second and third toes throughout the full range.
  2. 2. Stand all the way up — lock hips out completely at the top of each rep.
  3. 3. Take air in at the top, brace, descend; exhale on the way up through the sticking point.
  4. 4. End range is where the real work happens — do not shy away from it.

Regression:

Perform an air squat with a 3-second descent and pause at the bottom before adding any external load.

Progression:

Progress to a single-leg squat variation: Bulgarian split squat, pistol squat, or shrimp squat.

Common Problems:

Not reaching full depth — address hip mobility or add a heel elevation to allow full range without compensation.
