Is the goblet squat arguably the best exercise for the lower body, legs gluteous etc?
Answer I love the goblet squat. But, the 25 lb. DB may be too much for you. When you go into a squat position, your elbows should not touch your thighs. If they do or graze the thighs, it means your spine is flexing (forward) or kyphotic. You need to practice how to keep the low back arched by keeping the shoulder retracted, chest erect, and core tight. The weight (DB) should not be pulling you forward. If so, the core is weak. Concentrate on planks, bridges, and oblique work in the interim. Get more info at www.izzostrengthtraining.com.
