Dumbbell Goblet Squat with Calf Raise
A goblet squat that finishes each rep with a rise onto the toes, the dumbbell still held at the chest.
How to do it
Setup
Feet shoulder-width, one dumbbell held upright against the chest.
Steps
- Sink into the squat between the knees, chest tall.
- Stand up and keep rising onto the balls of the feet.
- Lower the heels before the next squat.
Common mistakes
Rushing the calf raise into a bounce: rise, pause, lower. Heels lifting at the bottom of the squat: sit back and keep them down there. Bell dropping away from the chest on the rise: hold it tight so the balance stays centered.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale rising onto the toes.
