goblet squat

I'm currently training for SFG1 and while I was watching vids on youtube I saw this one: It's Brett Jones talking about the Goblet Squat and the kettlebell holding position. To keep the counterbalance he put the kettlebell just a little away from the chest to descend perpendicular to the...

Is there any reason to do Goblet squats if the upper weight available is the same as doing double KB front squats? I was sick and stopped training with resistance for three weeks. I regressed to goblet squats to get back on track in my program. Now after a couple of weeks the Goblet squat...

This is just a thought that popped in my head, not anything related to my current training, but is there anyone that consistently does the Bent Press + Snatch program minimum and who finds it more fulfilling than the classic Getups + Swings + (Goblet Squats)? I like the variety on this blog and...

Hi Strong First Community, I am currently transitioning from the Timeless Simple challenge to the Timed Simple challenge from the Pavel Tsatsouline S&S programme. For the warm-up, Pavel suggests to replace Prying Goblet Squats with Weighted Goblet Squats. His advice is to aim to use the same...

Hi folks, I'm new to the StrongFirst community and recently started the online Kettlebell fundamentals. I'm working on the hinge to squat for the goblet squat. I recently finished reading Easy Strength and incorporated it into my 40-day workout. Just looking for some feedback on what I can...

Hello all! I've been doing 3x5 goblet squats for my warmups and they are becoming one of my favorite mobility/activation exercises. However, I am wondering if there is a preferred way to get the bell up into goblet position. With a lighter bell like I'm using now I can muscle it up pretty...

Could someone help with a video demo for Goblet Squat demonstrating “If you are too weak to stand up with good form, set the bell down and sit back on the floor.” from S & S book. ? Seems like my knees are not in best condition, I get some pain after adding Getups and Goblet Squat . So I no...

Does anyone have any good alternatives to the goblet squat for using as part of the S&S warm up? Few months back I had a climbing accident and dislocated my ankle, and although it is healing nicely, I'm still having to work on the mobility side of things, and currently don't have the required...

I only have one and very much enjoy using the DB for DLs, get ups, side presses and suitcase carries. I want tips on the power snatch and how to properly do a goblet squat. As for snatches, I’ve done quite a few with fixed DBs but I’m concerned about the plates hitting me as it comes up so any...

I realized last month that I have been really neglecting the squat pattern in favor of hinge and pressing/pullup movements. I don't have a gym membership or a squat rack at home. I have done goblet squats before as my S&S warmup but I read a Dan John article about a goal of doing half...

I am still following a mobility strength program, but I am easing into S+S now and then. When I do the prying GSQ they are pretty taxing and one rep takes about 45-70 seconds. I pry my hips open and do some contract relax breathing. Because my dorsiflexion is limited any I am rather tall...

As with most anything Dan John I thought this: Pull Ups was an outstanding read. I'm more of a rep with bodyweight rather than add weight to my pull ups guy. However, the line on "if all you did was pull ups and swings or goblet squats you would be doing pretty well" had me nodding. Imagine...

I apologize if this has been covered elsewhere, but I am curious what's expected of the GSQ warm up. Are we supposed to actually progress in weight? Or is it just a prying movement?
