Instructions & Biomechanical Cues
1. Stand in front of a sturdy box or bench with your feet shoulder-width apart, ensuring it’s at a comfortable height for squatting. 2. Engage your core and hold a barbell across your upper back (or keep your hands at your sides if using body weight). 3. Initiate the squat by pushing your hips back and bending your knees, lowering your body toward the box while keeping your chest up. 4. Sit back onto the box, briefly resting your weight on it while maintaining tension in your legs. 5. Push through your heels to stand back up, returning to the starting position, and repeat for the desired number of repetitions.",
