Kettlebell Goblet Squat

The squat is fundamental to natural human movement. It represents a major deficiency in our capacity if we are not striving to at least become proficient with it, if not mastered. While most people squat, few perform it optimally. Along with building strong legs and core, incorporating kettlebells adds an element of upper body work into the mix. Step 1: Holding the kettlebell by the sides of the horns you’re going to press your shoulder blades down and keeping a proud wide chest. Step 2: Have your feet slightly wider than hip width. Step 3: Start by bending at the knees first as you work to bring your groin in between your feet. Step 4: The goal is as full a range of motion as possible without tuck your butt under. Tips and Safety: No matter what weight you use, if you don’t have a full squat, you would be much better served squatting with the intention of integrated depth instead of simply pushing out reps to hit the numbers prescribed. Avoid rounding with the weight as you lower yourself as well as the “butt wink” at the bottom of the position.
