When you're learning the Goblet Squat there are a few aspects of the exercise that you want to consider. When squatting in general (or working with weights), there's always biomechanics involved so understanding them is crucial.
At first, the Goblet Squat is primarily a Front Squat. Front Squats differ vastly from Back Squats because of the aforementioned biomechanics. After understanding the biomechanical standpoint of the exercise, you want to take a look at your mobility.
Mobilizing the hip, knee and ankle joint is necessary to perfect your Goblet Squat technique. Another thing that you might want to use is an easy tool to help you move better when doing the Goblet Squat: The Wedge.
A wedge is like a weight lifting shoe: It elevates your heels to increase your ankle mobility. This will help your upper body to keep it as upright as possible and improves your overall position as well.

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 Joshua! - Gregory
He's making it look so easy ☺️ I tried only to sit down and I couldn't come up again 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Practice makes perfect Miriam! You should have seen my first squats. :-D - Gregory
@@lebe-stark I will keep trying thanks 😊
What if you can't go that low 🤔
Absolut game changer, first time i actually felt a real burn from a squat. Appreciated
Fantastic video, I've been struggling with lower back pain from GS for a long time now. This is going to be a game changer!
The wedge is a great tip
So great form adjustments there. Thank you. Weighted side Squat very nice only just saw that.
Amazing understanding advice thank you so much !!!
Excellent instruction.
Brilliant Technician ✅
This is a great explanation
These moves are so helpful, I am going to be in gym in the next hour. I will do them.
Thanks Gregory. This made everything so much clearer!
Great to hear Pamela! - Gregory
Thanks very much, this was very helpful. I literally just finished a workout and struggled with this exact lower back issue when doing cleans and goblet squats.
Glad it helped Kiran! - Gregory
BIG thanx from Sweden :-)
Great video! Thanks for the cues!
Our pleasure brother! - Gregory
I was doing that exact same mistake you were pointing out at the start of the video. This was very helpful. Thank you LS.
Glad it was helpful!
Thx Gregory, this is very helpful and clear , appreciated really , I tried the golbet squat once and I had back pain , tomorrow I will try this way as you illustrated 🙏🏼🌸🌸🌸
Great to hear! Let us know how it went! - Gregory
This is excellent! I never realized there were so many differences between the front and back squats. Thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanx! This lil bastard messed up my lower back, a couple of summers ago. So I only do regular squats. But I'll try 3 sets now
Very good video thank you !
Glad you liked it!
Omg awesome. So helpful. I’m 65 and this was great. Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent! Unfortunately my right knee had intensive surgery in my 20’s so I’m unable to do the “ass in the grass” squat. BUT! I keep moving forward in my training
Everybody has his/ her own squat depth; so that's great Scott! Thanks for sharing! - Gregory
@@lebe-stark Your my go to for keeping things fresh and (sometimes sweating to death) fun! Coach M too. I've been a life long lifter and just started Kettle bells, and I ain't gonna stop!
I've been doing them with my legs too close together. I'll change that next leg day - thank you. 👍
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 😔
Glad to be of service!
Super helpful as I was having a hard time with keeping chest up.
Can i do a squat like this but with 1 arm, and then do a shoulder press when i go up? Good video!
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!
Thanks for sharing, Richard. I appreciate your outlook. Let us know when you knock out that goblet squat! ✌
What would be the difference for us kettlebell practicioners to use 2 single wedges VS one single long wedge like that? Thank you
I do goblet squats with my cowboy boots on it puts me in perfect form 👍🏻
Great to hear Greg! How does your form fare when trying it barefoot? - Gregory
@@lebe-stark my form is good as well , I do yoga so my range is good , just better with boots
I like how low you're going low. That's a lot harder than the normal and develops flexibility
Great Video do you mind sharing which wedge you are using?

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.
Glad to be of service!
i feel this movement soo much in my core, is that a good sign?
Your abdominals definitely have to work in the Goblet Squat. :) - Gregory
If i do the barbell back squat w the form of a front squat like the goblet squat is that ok or not?
This would be considered a "high bar" squat or as I like to call it a "weightlifter's squat". - Gregory
@@lebe-stark ok thank u 🙏
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😁
How should your spine be? Neutral?
As upright (and "unbent") as possible.
@@lebe-stark ok.
Damn my back is not as straight as yours while squatting. Mine is like this: /
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.
Lets' go brother! - Gregory
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...
This is revelation..
Thank you Gandhar! - Gregory
Gregory is so clever...😒😒
I wish to play match maker with my glutes and my calves 😢. Long distance relationships never suit anyone
Ankles too...
I can't do it, keep falling back
Try not going too deep and see if it helps. - Gregory
BEHOLD!
Ya that's not happening. My body dosen't do that. Lol
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.
There are many types of Squats; the GS is just one of many potential exercises. - Gregory
@@lebe-stark 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.
These moves are so helpful, I am going to be in gym in the next hour. I will do them.
