Perfect Bodyweight Squat Technique
The bodyweight squat is the cornerstone of functional movement, targeting your glutes, quadriceps, and hamstrings while engaging your entire core. ChAIron's AI coaching ensures every rep builds strength with perfect form.
Step-by-Step Form Guide
- Starting Position: Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed outward (15-30 degrees)
- Hip Hinge: Initiate movement by pushing hips back as if sitting into a chair, keeping chest proud
- Descent: Lower until hip crease is below knee level, maintaining knees tracking over toes
- Drive Up: Push through whole foot to return to standing, driving knees outward
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- Knees caving inward during movement
- Forward lean with excessive torso tilt
- Partial range of motion (shallow squats)
- Rising onto toes instead of full foot contact
- Inconsistent tempo and control
