EZMUSCLESquat Technique: Choose the Right Starting Variation
A squat can look different across people because of proportions, mobility, experience and the chosen variation. Coaching should improve control and usefulness rather than force one universal shape.
Choose support and range
A chair or box, a counterbalance or an appropriate goblet load can change the task. Practise a range you can control before increasing depth or resistance.
Watch the full repetition
Observe balance, speed and whether the movement is repeatable. A single cue should address the main limitation. Avoid treating knee travel or torso angle alone as proof that the squat is harmful.
Track the response
Keep the setup consistent so that extra repetitions or load represent actual progress. Pain, instability or a sudden loss of function calls for an appropriate assessment.
