Are you struggling with low back pain and can’t find an exercise that helps? Try the Goblet Squat for low back pain relief so you can keep squatting pain-free! Keep reading below👇

One of the most common questions we get in the clinic from our fellow lifters is “Can I still squat with my low back pain?” The answer is YES YOU CAN! Instead of using a barbell to squat, we are going to show you the GOBLET SQUAT as a replacement for your barbell squat and front squat. 

We love to teach the Goblet squat because it forces you to engage your core to stabilize your low back during the entire exercise and practice good squat mechanics!

1:19 Proper Dismount

1️⃣- Start by placing your feet in line with the weight. You are essentially going to stand over the handle of the weight as seen in the video. This is to ensure that the weight is being lifted in line with your center of gravity. Then, tuck your pelvis back to flatten the arch in your low back. While maintaining this position, lower yourself to the weight by hinging at the hips. 

2️⃣- Hold the weight in front of your chest without losing the pelvis tuck. You should start to feel the front of your core muscles engage. Then to squat, drive your knees forward to initiate the hinge before sitting into the depth that is comfortable for you. The goal here is NOT to get into a deep squat but rather to feel the activation in the entire body. 

3️⃣- To dismount, bring the weight back closer to the chest, lower it with control in between your legs and put it down the same way that you picked it up.

❗Please remember, you should NOT ❌feel more (insert cc) while doing this exercise.
