Anyway, sorry I dont' have the link handy, but do take a look, I think it's also an excellent mobility move.SafeNSharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067649235775589917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-21553701689578289032011-06-15T23:13:10.496-07:002011-06-15T23:13:10.496-07:00Cheers Sifter.
I don't actually see the goble...Cheers Sifter.<br /><br />I don't actually see the goblet squat as a primarily a move for load but for mobility. I will check out The Maxwell's video.<br /><br />ChrisChrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00223657383325055342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2467994117916260529.post-29625421930910492922011-06-15T18:40:56.299-07:002011-06-15T18:40:56.299-07:00Good post, but I have mixed feelings about it.
Y...Good post, but I have mixed feelings about it.<br /><br /> Yes, the Goblet squat is an excellent loaded or bodyweight squat for all the reasons listed.<br /><br /> But as I get older I find load isn't the be all, range of motion and alignment become increasingly important. Steve Maxwell's blog has a video on his 'Chinese Squat', part of his 'how to be a pistolero' posting. That squat, with feet under the hips, aligned toes forward, with a yoga block between the legs, give you a whole new feeling. Deeper range of motion for sure.. I'm still experimenting and digesting the results for myself. But I think this 'Chinese Squat' (no, nothing like the Hindu squat) or the Egoscue Free Squat may come closer to being a better movment for those who want to use their knees and hips fully into old age.SafeNSharphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08067649235775589917noreply@blogger.com
