A Squatting Progression

Squatting is a primal movement pattern that we learn to do as infants. As we get older and become less active, we develop poor biomechanics. 

Injuries also lead to poor movement patterns. Here are a couple progressions to get back on track.

1. Learn how to do a proper bodyweight squat. Before placing a bar on your shoulders make sure you can do a great bodyweight squat.

2. Plate Squat or Goblet Squat

3. Kettlebell Squat

4. Single Leg Post Squat

5. Front Squat

6.. Back Squat

7.  Overhead Squat
