General
Athlete holding a kettlebell at chest height in a controlled goblet squat.

Before you start

Set up the movement.

  1. 01

    Clear enough floor space to squat without contacting a bench or wall.

  2. 02

    Hold one weight close to the chest with both hands.

  3. 03

    Use a stance that lets the heels stay grounded.

One useful cue

Keep the first rep repeatable.

Keep the heels grounded and let the knees track in the same direction as the toes.

Training use

Purpose before prescription.

IN YOUR PLAN

This is a general strength builder used to support repeated squatting and bracing.

WITHOUT THE EQUIPMENT

Use an unloaded squat to a comfortable target while keeping the same controlled pattern.
