How To: Kettlebell Goblet Squat

http://www.chroniclesofstrength.com

Pat Flynn RKC

The kettlebell goblet squat is an incredibly simple, yet effective squat variation. It helps to develop the fundamental squatting movement pattern, loosen up tight hips, and strengthen the legs and glutes.

Requirements for a good squat:
-Back is flat
-Heels are planted
-Knees track the toes
-Hips and shoulders ascend at the same rate

Ass to grass, that's how it's done. Now get some heavier 'bell, son.

@mrkitanai1 They're the same thing. Whether your feet are anchored to the ground or not you are still using your hip flexors to pull yourself down :) So they are the same thing

@JordanSpecops123 Doing what you say is impossible. Descending in the squat is an eccentric movement. Using one's hip flexors to pull one's knees to his chest is a concentric movement. Like I said, the only possible way to actively pull one's self down during the squat is if your feet was anchored to the floor. If you're going to pull, you must have something to pull against.

@mrkitanai1 You pull yourself down with your hip flexors. So when you lift your leg to your chest you are using your hip flexors. So when you squat down, think of slowly lifting your knees to your chest

[mrkitanai1]

How can one "actively pull" ones' self down!? In order for you to do that, your feet would need to be nailed to the floor. How can one "pull" during a squat? I really don't understand that cue.
