Goblet squat: how to do it with good form

The goblet squat, with a dumbbell or kettlebell held at the chest, is the easiest way to learn a good squat.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell upright against your chest with both hands.

  2. 2

    Feet a little wider than shoulder-width, toes slightly out.

  3. 3

    Sit down between your heels with elbows inside the knees and chest up.

  4. 4

    Drive back up to standing and squeeze your glutes at the top.

Common mistakes

  • Letting the weight drift away from the chest.
  • Knees caving in on the way up.
  • Only going halfway down.
