It’s a badass exercise, on certain leg days you could do just that (one exercise) and smoke yourself for high volume and reps and that would be that days workout
It is a highly underrated movement this is coming from someone who is genetically blessed in the lower body and highly experienced with heavy barbell squats for many many years. This is a VERY effective quad builder it’s like a mini front squat, very good assistant movement try it out I have no doubt you’ll see the benefits quickly.
An excellent video. So well put together. I think this is one of the best compound leg exercises in the gym. I dread it, but I love the results. Instead of a kettlebell, I use a weight plate or dumbbell.
I like the point made that not everything is about optimal hypertrophy. Besides, hypertrophy can be had using goblet squats, kettlebell front squats, dumbbell squats, bodyweight squats, squat jumps, box jumps, etc. Up the reps, slow the tempo, decrease rest periods. Despite having no access to a gym or barbells, I've gained mass in my legs using all these exercises. Thanks for the content, sir!
There’s also so many variations of squats and lunges that can and need to be integrated into a program and legs really respond well to lighter weight/high reps and frequency, especially if your goal is a more balanced physique and performance.
I think people are too hung up on having everything be optimal these days, so I'm glad you mentioned it. To me, the most optimal workout is the one you can stick with and do consistently. Not everyone is looking to be a bodybuilder. Not all of us need to use wrist wraps on pullups because your grip might be the limiting factor
You’re supposed to keep the db or the kb closer to your body, it should touch your chest. You’re keeping it too far away from your body, thus engaging and putting stress on your scapulas for no reason. This exercise is only good for warmup and for beginners and that’s about it. You shouldn’t replace your barbell back squats with this variation. If you want to shift the weight in front of you, just learn the front squat.

"not everything is about optimal hypertrophy" is just so true, most people dont realise that there is more to fitness
Lol. Tell me you're not strong without telling me.
I like holding the kettlebell by the bell, less stress on the biceps and wrists
Shots at Dr. Mike Isratel fired😂😂
He went through what's good and bad. Nothing wrong with what he said. Goblets are just people using what they have. If they had a hack or a rack....
The thing about fitness, I’m always learning something new
So well beautifully said👏
Outstanding D❤
Yoga, calisthenics & of course breath work with each of those practices 🙏🏾💪🏾🌀😎♥️🌹
ban all the bot comments plz. Anyway good short
Great exercise. You always keep us on our toes Dan.
Ur great Daniel!
I tend to do barbellish squats with dumbbells (20 kgs only) daily however I feel jumpsquats to be more bang for my buck PHYSICALLY....😊
Thanks for your advice
Brother please make a video to cure popping knee 😢
Not only are they great when feeling pain on the lower back when doing the bar squat, the same advice goes when feeling pain on the knees

I love doing heavy goblet squats with heels elevated. Amazing quad developer.
thanks to the inventor of the goblet squat coach Dan John

my mobility sucks T.T
Also no axial loading like in a front squat which can be useful

Back squats kill my knees now , 4x20 goblet squats plus walking lunges and explosive jumps for height are a god send.
I have hip dysplasia and scoliosis. No matter what I do in the morning it resets and I'm stiff and in pain. I hate it
Idk why but brock seems to be a lot safer with his riding than most others. Just seems like he scouts out evry spot he rides.
Destroyed my quads with them last week
Would love to see you interview Dan John - especially now that you're looking into kettlebells and goblet squats
Your shorts are too short. .
👌👍️🙏💪💓🇳🇵
