Hey Fanatics! Today I’m going to talk to you about the amazing benefits of Goblet Holds, and why you should try them in your workout routine with Goblet Squats and Goblet Marches or Carries.
Goblet Squats are an incredibly versatile exercise, and they’re one of the best ways to build up your lower body strength and power. It’s a move that’s essential for anyone looking to maximize their lower body strength, and it’s also a great way to engage your core and improve balance.
Let’s get into the nitty gritty details of this exercise. First of all, Goblet Squats/Marches are done by holding a weight in front of your chest, like a kettlebell or a dumbbell, with both hands at the same time. Ideally we want the triceps to rest on the ribs with the bell slightly in front with the bell not touching your chest (unless its insanely heavy, but we’ll discuss that in the video below).
In regards to the Squat; Squat down as low as you can go while keeping your core tight and your elbows tucked in so that they don’t hit your knees. Then, push the ground away as you ascend to the starting position making sure that your shoulders and hips raise at the same rate. At first this is great to practie at a slow tempo. Think 3 seconds down, 1 second hold at the bottom, 1 second up.
Now that we know how to do Goblet Squats, let’s talk about the benefits. As I mentioned earlier, it’s a great way to increase your lower body strength, power, and balance. It also helps improve your posture by strengthening your core muscles and engaging your core in the right way.
