Rep The SetGoblet Squats: pace by band
An air squat that brought a friend. The load is front-racked and honest, slowing the cycle to a working cadence and taxing the upper back as much as the legs over long sets. A favourite for scaling: the same pattern as barbell squats with none of the setup.
The numbers
Goblet Squats is classed moderate (the baseline: one honest loaded or jumped rep at a working cadence), which puts a 1x multiplier on the base rep rate. That works out to:
| Band | Seconds per rep | Reps per minute | 10 reps | 20 reps | 30 reps | 50 reps |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Beginner | 3.00 | 20 | 0:30 | 1:00 | 1:30 | 2:30 |
| Advanced | 2.40 | 25 | 0:24 | 0:48 | 1:12 | 2:00 |
| Elite | 2.00 | 30 | 0:20 | 0:40 | 1:00 | 1:40 |
A band is a pace, not a verdict: finishing at the Advanced line means you moved at that rate on that day. The rates and the class come from the same published config the Rep The Set app computes with, fetched live, so this page and the app cannot disagree.
