Goblet squat

Eightpace movement notes · Reviewed by a certified HYROX trainer · 7 October 2026

Practise a controlled squat pattern with a manageable load.

Set up

Hold one dumbbell close to your chest. Start with an unloaded rehearsal and a comfortable stance.

Keep in mind

  1. Keep the weight close and your feet planted.
  2. Lower to a depth you can control, then stand smoothly.
  3. Use the repetitions and recovery in your own session.

What to check

If you need to rush or change position to finish, review the load and technique with a coach.

Use it in your session

Follow the warm-up, target, effort and recovery in your own programme. Log actual results after doing the work. A past result is a reference, not an automatic load or pace prescription.
