How to do the Cable Goblet Squat

  1. Stand upright facing the cable machine with your feet shoulder-width apart, holding a bar attachment with both hands at chest level with elbows facing the floor.
  2. Begin squatting by bending your hips and knees, descend into a deep squat until your thighs are parallel to the ground or lower.
  3. Push through your heels to return to the starting position.
  4. Repeat for the desired repetitions.

Form tips

  • Keep your elbows pointed down and tucked in to stabilize the bar during the squat.
  • Engage your core to protect your lower back and maintain balance.
  • Ensure your knees track in line with your toes as you descend.
