Primary muscles: Quadriceps

Secondary muscles: Calves, Glutes, Hamstrings, Shoulders

How to do it

1. Stand holding a light kettlebell by the horns close to your chest. This will be your starting position.
2. Squat down between your legs until your hamstrings are on your calves. Keep your chest and head up and your back straight.
3. At the bottom position, pause and use your elbows to push your knees out. Return to the starting position, and repeat for 10-20 repetitions.

Track it with MyoAmigo

MyoAmigo pre-fills every set of the Goblet Squat from last time, charts your estimated 1RM trend so you can see strength move without testing a true max, and flags a stall with a concrete fix. It also credits this work toward your weekly Quadriceps volume on the MyoMap heatmap. New to the movement? Start with picking a working weight and progressive overload.
