Goblet Squat

These notes combine advice from 4 reviewed passages across 2 workouts.

Overview

The goblet squat is performed by holding a weight at chest level while lowering into the squat and rising again. [3] [4]

Using a weight can make the movement feel easier. [1]

Setup

Keep the heels very close together and point the feet forward. Hold the load in front of the chest and keep the knees open during the movement. [4]

To slightly increase the movement’s effect, place a sufficiently thick book or similar raised surface under the heels only. The rest of each foot remains off the raised surface. [2] [3]

Execution

Lower and rise slowly. Avoid abruptly locking out at the top. [4]
