Key Teaching Points:
- 1. Set feet at shoulder-width or wider with toes turned out to your natural angle.
- 2. Think of sitting between your heels rather than sitting back onto them.
- 3. Depth before load — achieve full range with bodyweight before adding resistance.
Regression:
Assisted squat using TRX or a doorframe to offload bodyweight while practising full range.
Progression:
Progress to a single-leg squat variation: Bulgarian split squat, pistol squat, or shrimp squat.
Common Problems:
Knees caving inward — cue active push out against the floor. Heel rise — widen stance or elevate heels slightly.
