Kettlebell Goblet Squat

The kettlebell goblet squat is a front-loaded squat variation that naturally promotes an upright torso and deep squat depth. Hold the kettlebell at chest height by the horns and squat between your legs.

How to Perform

1

Hold the kettlebell by the horns at chest height, elbows pointing down.

2

Set your feet shoulder-width apart with toes slightly turned out.

3

Squat down by pushing your knees out and sitting between your legs.

4

Descend until your elbows touch or pass inside your knees.

5

Drive through your full foot to stand back up.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Letting the elbows drift forward, pulling the torso into a forward lean.

Rising on the toes instead of keeping weight through the full foot.

Not squatting deep enough to get the full range of motion.
