Just out of interest Id like to know peoples favourite / thoughts on what the best kettlebell squat variation is for strong legs and strong core.
Variations I hear a lot of are the goblet squat, pistol squat, single/double front squat, uneven-load front squat and Cossack squat.
Personally I don’t like the pistols as I keep loosing my balance and that can’t be good for my knees. I honestly think the double front squat is a great lift but if you were training at home that would mean purchasing two bells. So the uneven front squat has to be my current leader as you could get a new bell as other lifts progress and use the lighter ones when squatting. However I’ve never tried Cossack squats and imagine they would feel like pistols that have a counterbalance, so they may become my new favourite.
What do people think?
