Heel-Elevated Goblet Squat: how to do it and form tips

A goblet squat with heels raised on plates or a wedge, allowing a more upright torso and deeper range of motion for maximum quad loading.

Form tips

Elevate heels 1-2 inches on plates and hold a dumbbell or kettlebell at your chest.
Squat as deep as possible — the heel elevation promotes a vertical torso.
Drive up through the full foot, keeping knees tracking over your toes throughout.
