HEELS ELEVATED GOBLET SQUAT
How To Perform Heels Elevated Goblet Squats
If you struggle to get to the bottom of a squat, elevating your heels can be a quick fix to help you achieve that depth. Use a ramp, a set of small dumbbells, or a thick book to prop up your heels. These work your quads, hamstrings, glutes, calves and core.
