SunUp08- Very effective. I would transition from Goblet Squats to Front Squats with 2 Kettlebells. Practice the Goblet Squats to achieve a comfortable, hips below knee squat. Don't allow the but to pop up. Once you have got that down, proceed to FS. You will start to develop a sound squat and build muscle. Good luck

[Phil Scarito]

Yes, I would just go light and think about your breathing and make sure your knees track your toes. Please try this and let me know how you do. If there is pain, stop.

[Phil Scarito]

Knees can be too far out, but you want to make sure that your knees are always in line with your toes. Also make sure that when you pry the knees out that you are not losing your rooting with your feet. Keep your feet rooted into the ground.

On the day I do front squats , I will always warm up with body weight squats then head into the goblet squat. I do no more than 5-8 reps, solid reps. That means no tail bone popping up. I would not go crazy on the goblets. It is all about patterning the right movement

[Phil Scarito]

Yes. You can use this movement for many things. Just make sure your breathing is dialed in and that your tail bone does not lift as you come up out of the squat. This is a grind movement, it's not meant to be done fast, like a swing. Focus on form, that is the most important thing

[Phil Scarito]

Tom, When doing the Goblet Squat you want to have someone cue you by taking their fingers and lengthening the spine. This will make you taller and open up your T-Spine more.

Squat in front of a mirror and see when your tailbone tucks. Only go down to the point where your tailbone does not tuck under you. You will notice this is probably a pretty deep squat already.

I held in a turd for 2 months because I couldn't figure out how to properly pop a squat. I just tried this exercise and I think I speak for the whole family when I say I'm getting a brand new toilet. Thank you so much I was literally about to explode!

I will be doing these for sure and is there anymore exercises to open hip flexors? I am doing Starting Strength, but my flexors are so tight I beleive it prevents me from doing a proper barbell squat. I am in my 50's so there's alot to break through down there:(

All I do is fall backwards. I really want to learn how to squat properly, but my body has other plans...
