Setup

 

  • Feet should be shoulder width apart (heels under your shoulders) with toes at a slight angle outward

  • Weight should be largely in the heels

Execution

 

  • Maintain a neutral spine with gaze straight ahead and push the hips back and down

  • Make sure the knees stay in line with the toes (avoid "rolling in" where your knees appear to buckle inward)

  • Continue to descend until your hip crease is lower than your knees

  • After reaching full depth, continue to maintain your neutral spine and return to standing by driving through your heels

  • Use your arms in front of you for stability if your balance is off or if your ankle/shin flexibility needs work
