With the goblet squat you will hold a fairly small weight in your hands as you perform body weight squats. Although the added weight is not enough for significant strength building the goblet squat has real value!
The main advantage of goblet squat is that the added weight allows you to stay a bit more upright, helping to eliminate back rounding as you squat. Keeping your spine neutral as you squat is super important and the goblet squat can really help you improve this. If you’re in the habit of letting your back round this can be a game changer!
The weight also improves your balance at the bottom and allows you to develop better hip mobility for a full depth squat.
Win, win!
