Bell at the chest, squat dead clean.
Keep your elbows tucked and chest up so the bell stays close, not pulling you forward.
Holding the bell in the rack position puts the load in front of your body, which forces an upright torso and keeps the quads under tension all the way to the bottom of the squat. Your glutes take over out of the hole as the hips drive back to standing. It earns its spot as a quad builder you can run anywhere there is a single kettlebell, and it quietly teaches the upright squat pattern that carries over to barbell front squats.
One bell in the rack is the standard version and it adds an anti-rotation challenge because the load sits on one side. Two bells doubles the load and evens things out, so move to doubles once a single bell feels light.
In the goblet squat you cup the bell in both hands in front of your chest, while the front squat racks it against your forearm and shoulder. The rack position lets you go heavier and frees the other arm, but it demands more wrist and elbow position work.
The bell is drifting away from your body, usually because the elbow lifts or the chest drops. Keep the elbow tucked and the bell glued to your chest, and slow the descent until you can hit depth without tipping.
