Description

This exercise is an advanced variation of the Kettlebell Goblet Squat. Designed to challenge and enhance the muscle endurance, and overall strength throughout the full range of the squat.

Benefits

  • Gives additional challenge to your legs, especially when you've hit your training plateau.
  • Trains the 'weak range' of the squat pattern which is usually at the bottom range.
  • Greatly targets the quadriceps and glutes muscles.

Risks

  • Risk for injury of the knee and or of the hips. The proper form must be practiced first before progressing to this variation.
  • Requires enough arm strength to hold the kettlebell properly in position throughout the exercise.
  • Proper form is a must to avoid lower back injuries.
