Key Teaching Points:

  1. 1. Breathe consistently — match breathing to movement rhythm.
  2. 2. Break at hips and knees simultaneously to initiate the descent.
  3. 3. Engage the core before initiating any movement.
  4. 4. Think of sitting between your heels rather than sitting back onto them.

Regression:

Goblet squat with a light counterweight to reinforce an upright torso and depth simultaneously.

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.
