Heels Elevated Dumbbell Goblet Squat
A heels-elevated dumbbell goblet squat is a squat holding one dumbbell near the chest with the heels on a raised support.
Definition
Heel elevation and front-held load can change balance and joint motion compared with another squat setup. It remains a multi-joint movement rather than a quadriceps isolation exercise.

Evidence and use
No single heel height, stance, depth or load fits everyone. Choose stable equipment and a controllable range; the variation does not guarantee mobility correction, knee safety or HYROX® performance.
