⚠️ Most common mistake: Letting the heels lift off the floor at the bottom, which dumps the load forward onto the knees. Letting the knees cave inward as you stand, reducing glute drive and stressing the joints. Cutting the depth short above parallel, missing most of the glute and quad development. Rounding the lower back at the bottom, which loads the spine instead of the working muscles.
💪 Where you should feel it: Mainly in the Quadriceps.
