The goblet squat is our most used squat variation.
Like other squat variations, it emphasizes the quads and glutes. As with the front squat, you’ll feel your upper back and probably your core, too.
What I like about the goblet squat is that it’s easier to stay upright and sit deeper compared to barbell variations. In fact, I now use it as a warm-up for my barbell squats.
In the video below, I’ll show you one cue to use to ensure you’re in a stronger position. You’ll also notice that my heels are elevated on a wedge. This helps with good posture, especially if you have poor ankle range of motion.
Stay fit,
Jonathan
