TECHNIQUE: In the squat push out hard with the knees and exaggerate the hip distance to build strength and confidence in the loaded squat format. ADVANTAGES: this version of the squat works well for static and dynamic squats. It's also excellent for people who are very obese that cannot safely execute squats without assistance. FAULTS: knees caving in, feet too close together, looking up, and rounding the backs. SCALING: you can provide the client with rings or trx handles to off-load them further.
