To make the most of dumbbell goblet squats, focus on turning the movement into a controlled leg exercise rather than simply trying to move the heaviest dumbbell possible.
—
1️⃣ Hold the dumbbell close to your chest.
Keep it tight to your torso with your elbows underneath or slightly forward. The farther the weight drifts away, the more unnecessary stress you place on your arms and lower back.
2️⃣ Set your stance for your structure.
Start around shoulder-width apart with your toes slightly turned out, then adjust until you can squat comfortably while keeping your feet planted.
3️⃣ Brace before every rep.
Take a breath into your abdomen, tighten your core, and maintain a stable torso as you descend. Think about keeping your rib cage stacked over your pelvis.
4️⃣ Use the deepest range you can control.
Lower until you reach a depth where your heels remain down, your knees track well, and you can maintain good posture.
