Conseils techniques
One common mistake is leaning too far forward or allowing the back to round. To avoid this, focus on keeping your chest lifted and your spine neutral throughout the exercise. This will also engage your core muscles more effectively.
In a sumo squat, aim to lower your body until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Going too low (past parallel) can put undue stress on your knees, while not going low enough may not fully engage the muscles.
Ensure your knees are directly above your ankles when you squat down, not jutting forward over your toes. This will help to prevent knee injuries.
