Bodyweight Squats

The squat rank test move. Depth decides the rep — The Ref judges below parallel.

How to do Bodyweight Squats

1. Feet shoulder-width, toes slightly out, arms out front for balance.
2. Sit your hips back and down until they drop below your knees.
3. Drive through your whole foot back to standing, hips fully open at the top.

Where reps get stolen

Parallel-ish depth. 'Almost parallel' is the most common stolen rep in fitness — break parallel, then stand.

See the squat test chart — how many below-parallel reps in 30 seconds each Level takes.

Coach form check

Not sure which reps reached depth? Coach shows each detected rep and uses a dash when the measurement is uncertain.
