The back squat is a wellresearched and widely used exercise to enhance fundamental movement competency that creates a foundation for optimal mechanical strategies during a broad range of activities. The primary commentary introduced the back squat assessment (bsa): a criterion-based assessment of the back squat that elineates 30 potentially observable functional deficits. This follow-up commentary provides a targeted system of trainingcues and exercises to supplement the bsa to guide corrective intervention. We propose a criterion-driven approach to corrective exercise that can support practitioners in their goal to help individuals achieve movement competency in the back squat.
