Exercise Description

The dumbbell goblet squat builds strong quads and glutes while teaching perfect squat form. It's the best way to learn how to squat properly.

How To

1. Hold a dumbbell vertically against your chest with both hands, like holding a heavy goblet 2. Stand with feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly pointed out 3. Keep your chest up and slowly lower into the dumbbell goblet squat by pushing your hips back 4. Go down until your thighs are parallel to the floor, keeping your knees tracking over your toes 5. Drive through your heels to stand back up, squeezing your glutes at the top

Form Tips

• Keep the dumbbell close to your chest throughout the entire dumbbell goblet squat movement • Your knees should track in the same direction as your toes, never caving inward • Keep your core tight and your back straight - don't let your chest drop forward • Focus on sitting back into your hips rather than just bending your knees

Common Mistakes

• Letting the dumbbell drift away from your chest, which throws off your balance during the goblet squat • Knees caving inward instead of tracking over your toes - this puts stress on your knee joints • Not going deep enough - you should hit at least parallel for the full benefit of the exercise
