The presence of weight on your chin will naturally teach you to maintain proper spinal positioning. If you can't maintain a neutral spine, you will lose your balance, it's that simple. The goblet squat has an instant feedback feature, so you quickly learn what "right" feels like.
Usually we use dumbbells or kettlebells to perform goblet squats, but today I recommend you to use cables to perform the movement!
Although using cables seems a little difficult to operate, one advantage is that it can correct the problem of excessive forward leaning of your upper body when squatting! The tension of the cable will pull your torso forward, causing the mistake of your upper body leaning forward. At this time, you need to work hard to control your center to avoid such mistakes!
Picture demonstration:
1. Set the cable handle at lowest point.
2. Hold the handle in front of your chest with both hands and feel the handle as a part of your body.
3. Adduct your chin, tighten your core muscles, and keep your spine neutral and stable
4. Start squatting:
Bend your hips and knees and squat down to With your hips lower than your knees, let your hips be filled with tension, like a spring. Pause for a second, then squat back up!
