During the goblet squat, which muscles should I feel the most? Can I assume the tenseness will start from the glutes and all the way down to the heels?

Hello Yew Hwan. Your primary feel will be in the abdominals and glutes/hamstrings. You will feel pressure in the heels. But, more engagement in the muscles above.

hi anthony. great advice. i'm big on kettlebell workouts. any other ones you know of with the kettlebell to build up the core, lats, shoulders, etc., or do you recommend we don't increase muscle mass because it might restrict the golf swing? thanx.

Hey Jonathan, I will contact Anthony directly to see if he has any other workouts he wants to pass along to help you out with the other areas. Its important to make sure that the muscle mass that you put on from the workouts, that you do not effect range of motion. It does not hurt to put on mass but just make sure you are balancing things properly with workouts that will allow for good range of motion in the golf swing.

Hi Anthony - great exercise with the kettle bell. it seems like there's a trend on tour to go extremely heavy with barbell squats (as can see in the new Rory Mcilroy commercial). What are your thoughts on this trend?

Hello Brandon. You see the trend for players trying to get more explosive power. However, it can be over done because the legs aren't the sole provider of power in the swing. If you want to increase the weight do so slightly. But, much more important to perform the exercise properly and gain good awareness of how to pull the leverage from the ground.

Hey Jeff, good question. When do your knees hurts? If you're having knee pain during squats, I'd actually recommend a different exercise. Use this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i-3Y3ZzbYV0 Push through your heel and squeeze your butt at the top.

Maybe I missed it but how much weight do you use?!

It depends on where you're at in your training. For a pure beginner, I'd recommend starting light and working up. Where you start isn't as important as making consistent progress.

I agree with mike143116. I've been doing a lot of squats recently with over use and not great consistent form and have developed patellar tendonitis. Had to back off the weight and how far I down I actually squat. Take it easy and keep good form.

Are you still dealing with knee pain when squatting?

If I may add/confirm, I was also told when doing any squat, that its important not to let your knees extend over/past your toes. Its a mental thought to ensure proper engagement of the glutes. Takes stress off of the knees.

Well said, Mike. Also make sure to drive your knees outward to prevent your knees from collapsing in.
