Technik-Tipps
One common mistake is improper foot placement. Your front foot should be far enough forward so that when you lower into the squat, your knee doesn't go past your toes. This helps prevent knee strain. Your back foot should be resting on a raised platform or bench behind you.
Lower your body in a controlled manner until your front thigh is parallel to the floor. Don't rush the movement or use momentum to push back up - this can lead to injury.
