Learn the Goblet Squat w/ Dan John
Dan John -- inventor of the famous kettlebell goblet squat -- joins Pat to discuss all the amazing uses of this fundamental exercise, and some cool progressions to help you master it. Then, questions from the audience! Related Episodes New eBook: Introduction to Kettlebells – Just $1 on Amazon! Recently, I wrote a short (read: 30 pages) eBook called Introduction to Kettlebells, which is now available on Amazon for a whopping — brace yourself! — $1. You can snag it here ==> https://amzn.to/2HgwJgO Short story: Introduction to Kettlebells is a quick and dirty reference guide to the core single kettlebell techniques — exercises like the swing, snatch, clean, get up, squat, etc — and a simple, 7-day training cycle for getting strong and tough. Inside the eBook are instructional pointers, pictures of each technique, and links to video tutorials. Finally, a simple and straightforward collection of workouts for improving general physical preparedness with just one kettlebell. While this eBook is aimed at beginners, I think even veterans will get something out of it, since it’s always good to brush up on technique and return to basics.
