You are here: Experts > Recreation/Outdoors > Bodybuilding > Strength Training > goblet squat
Expert: Corey Crane
Date: 9/12/2008
Subject: goblet squat
Question
Hello
I have read in articles about goblet squat, whereby you cupped a dumbell vertically close to your chest and squat, saying this is probably the best exercise for the lower body. Apparently you have to squat beyond the knee level. Is this exercise probably the best for your lower body and if you have to squat below knee level, is this bad for the knees?
Thank you.
Sincerely
Eddie Chan
Answer
Hello Eddie,
This is a good exercise but I would personally do a single leg squat...that is the best exercise for the lower body in my opinion. Make sure when you do any squatting movement that you go down to parallel. That means the upper thigh has be be parallel to the ground.
