Squat variations using equipment!

For those who find that using their own body weight is not enough, we recommend the use of equipment. This is because it is a quick and easy way to increase the load and perform muscle training efficiently. Here are some variations of squats using equipment!

(1) Tube squat

Tube squats, as the name suggests, are squats performed using a training tube. The standard practice is to use a low-intensity training tube at first and step up as the load gradually increases as the body is lifted. Pulling the tube from the back naturally puts you in a chest-up posture, so it is recommended for those who have trouble maintaining form with their own body weight. One thing to note is that it is easy to lose the load of the tube in the bottom position. Before starting, it is a good idea to start with the tube firmly shoulder-width apart from the center of the elastic, or with the tube tied beforehand.

(2) Goblet squat

The goblet squat, performed with both hands holding one of the dumbbell weights, is a variation of the squat that is also a well-known core training exercise. In a normal squat, the chest tends to drop when squatting down, but in the goblet squat, the dumbbells are held in front of the chest, so the posture is less prone to collapse. The quadriceps are particularly strengthened, but holding the dumbbells also strengthens the deltoids, biceps, and other arm muscles.

(3) Dumbbell overhead squat

For those who want to try a more intense squat, the dumbbell overhead squat is recommended. Since only one arm holds the dumbbell and it is raised above the head, the menu focuses more on core and lower body stability. Many athletes have adopted it and it is said to improve mobility and performance. It is quite difficult to maintain stability, so if you want to try it, start with light dumbbells.
