Which of the following is NOT listed as a squat therapy?

• A. Bar Holds
• B. Box Squatting
• C. Front Squats
• D. Overhead squats

Answer: (C)

Squat therapies are mobility- and technique-focused drills used to address movement faults and improve mechanics during squatting. Bar holds help train stability in the shoulders and thoracic spine while maintaining control at the bottom. Box squats constrain depth to reinforce hip hinge and posterior chain engagement in a controlled range. Overhead squats demand shoulder mobility, thoracic extension, and upper-body stability as the lifter maintains a loaded bar overhead. Front squats, while a valuable strength variation that reinforces an upright torso and core bracing, are not typically categorized as a therapeutic drill in this list. They’re a mainline squat variation rather than a therapy drill, which is why they’re the one not listed as a squat therapy.
