Kettlebell Resistance Band Full Squat from Deficit
The goblet squat to full depth with the heels raised on plates and a loop band just above the knees; the band pulls the knees in, so the hips must press them out.
How to do it
Setup
Heels on two plates, a loop band above the knees, the kettlebell held by the horns at the chest.
Steps
- Sit straight down between the heels, knees pressing out into the band.
- Reach full depth with the chest tall behind the bell.
- Drive up through the whole foot, knees still wide.
Common mistakes
Knees caving to the band: push them out over the toes on the way down and up. Toes sliding onto the plates: the plates go under the heels only. Dropping into the bottom: control the full depth.
Breathing
Inhale down, exhale up.
