Damned Overheads...... (Wednesday 1 April 2009)

Today we are going to look at the Overhead squat. This exercise is incredibly demanding, requiring both an active core and active shoulders to stabilise the weight as you squat (under control) to the standard hips below parallel depth. As in a back squat or front squat, ensure your knees are tracking out over the foot. 

Keep the chest high to prevent forward lean and an inadvertent dumping of the weight.

Strength
Over Head Squat - ALL: 3x5

Work on active shoulders and a big chest to keep the bar in alignment with the body. Go for a max effort on the last round.
