Goblet the bell, sit between wide feet.
Keep the bell tight to your chest and drive your knees out over your toes.
Holding a kettlebell at your chest and squatting between wide, turned-out feet trains the quads through a deep knee bend while the stance shifts extra work to the glutes. The front-held bell acts as a counterweight, letting you sit deeper with a more upright torso than most people manage with nothing in their hands. It is the natural first loaded squat for the wide stance, simple to set up, self-correcting, and honest about depth.
Same hold, different stance. A goblet squat uses roughly shoulder-width feet, the kettlebell sumo squat goes wide with toes out, which brings the glutes and inner thighs into it more. If your gym vocabulary calls it a wide-stance goblet squat, that is the same move.
Lighter than pride suggests. Something you can control for 10 to 12 deep reps with the bell glued to your chest, commonly 8 to 16 kg depending on your base strength. When the last reps stay crisp, size up.
It should not if it stays tight to your chest with elbows down. The moment it drifts away from you, it becomes a lever tipping you forward. Hug it by the horns and keep your weight through your heels.
