What if you can't go that low 🤔

I've been training for about six months with kettlebells and I'd been struggling with the goblet squat since I moved from a 16kg to a 24kg kettlebell. I was feeling it more in my elbows and lower back than my quads and glutes. I've tried out a few reps with this technique and it feels SOOOOO much better. Thanks a lot, got yourself a subscriber here.

Thank you so much for you content and videos. I am currently living in Portugal and found my passion again for kettlebells. I did a course with an Rkc instructor loong time ago, your videos are helping a lot!! Would love to make a course again in Portugal to perfect form but there are a lot of "fake" instructors in this world teaching the wrong form 😔

Super helpful as I was having a hard time with keeping chest up.

The best I can do are back squats. My knees are shot; surgery on my right knee, bone spur on my left knee and am physically unable to do a proper front squat. In my youth, I could do that squat all the time, but no longer in my senior years. But I continue exercising however, and perhaps one day, I will be able to do a proper front goblet squat!

Can i do a squat like this but with 1 arm, and then do a shoulder press when i go up? Good video!

Great Video do you mind sharing which wedge you are using?

Your abdominals definitely have to work in the Goblet Squat. :) - Gregory

This is truly the old skool ... ASS TO DA GRASS... method I was taught even with back squats...whew talk about hardcore days 😂. At 6ft7 I prefer goblets squat as its easier to squat and actually feel the movement considering I benefit and prefer a wide stance. A helpful tip also ( I know you know this Gregory) is to pause at the bottom n use elbows to push away at the knees. Sometimes I do that at various times thru reps and especially on my last rep. Am sure I look badass holding a 75lb db like that in gyms 😝...lil do they know its not heavy really with 4x10 scheme😁

I just had a lightbulb moment. I find it really hard to do a goblet squat - cannot get very low without rounding my back - but the other day I tried a back squat and did it without problems. I have been wondering why - and because of this video I just realised that it is probably because my knee/ hip flexibility is poor. I have excellent ankle mobility. (I have arthritis in my hip.) So I think I will switch to back squats. Thank you.

You should also attempt to point the toes forward as much as possible to correct biomechanical form and relieve stress on the inner knee...just whenever possible. As long as we have a series of videos evaluating coaches...

It's weird how goblet squat feels so natural to me and I can get so deep with my feet pointed extremely outwards with the perfect posture keeping my back straight with no struggle. But whenever I do back squat, my knees start showing issues and my lower back hurts. Don't know the reason for this but I prefer Goblet Squat cuz I feel way stronger in them and it feels natural to me as opposed to back squats.

Maybe its your hip structure that doesn't allow "deep" Goblet Squats? We have experienced this with our members as well. :) If yes, listen to your hip talking while trying to follow the fundamentals of the Goblet Squat. Squat Depth and Back alignment might be dictated by your frame/ bone structure - which is totally fine! - Gregory

The goblet squat is crap 💩, why not just use the Hindu Squat which doesn't require any kettlebell or weight and produces real power and endurance.

@@lebestark-official I've not opposed to kettlebells but I believe there's only about three to four exercises that are of any benefit. If you look at the true origins of kettlebells your realise they were only ever really used in yielding isometrics.
