The few coaching cues involved in the goblet squat more than suffice to get the job done: 1  Hold a weight against the chest. 2  Position your feet so your stance is a smidge outside shoulder-width, with your toes pointed slightly out. 3  Drop it like it's hot.

If you choose to do dumbbell squats, I highly recommend Goblet Squats. Instead of the weight at your sides, it is in front of you. This accomplishes two things: 1  Helps improve your squat form and depth--complete with better carryover to back squats. 2  Helps increase the core component of the dumbbell squat.n addition, you will change your form depending on if you do a barbell or a dumbbell squat. I recommend starting with barbells and perhaps experimenting with dumbbells if you find that you want to change up your workout. Check out this article on the Barbell Squat and decide for yourself.
