Once you’ve mastered the basic squat move, grab a dumbbell!…
and take your squat to the next level with the goblet squat. It is cleverly named for the position the dumbbell is held.
The Set Up & Execution
• Get into your squat set up with feet shoulder-width and slightly flared.
• Position the dumbbell between your chest, and keep it against your chest.
• Looking straight forward, initiate the descent by pushing your buttocks back and then down.
• Keep your chest and eyes up.
• Drive through your heels, as the knees track over your toes—never inward.
• Stand tall and proud at the top.
Perform in front of a mirror to ensure your form is perfect. Butt back, chest up, goblet on chest, and knees staying within toe line. Avoid at all times, knees jutting forward.
So let’s make sure you get green checks on these key points:
• Knees staying within toe line.
• Legs parallel at the bottom of the squat.
• Engaged torso maintaining its upright and stacked position.
• Drive through your heels.
• Stand tall and proud at the top.
