Elite squatters treat the setup as a deliberate sequence: wedge the upper back tightly against the bar, pull hips under shoulders, set feet, take a 360-degree braced breath, walk back in controlled steps, set stance, then re-brace and breathe again before descending. Rushing any of these stages leaks tension you cannot recover mid-lift.
