Tip & Technique: Over Head Squat

We went into this in some depth back during the squatting series in late Feburary. Actually, look back to Feb 28th where we specifically broke down the over head. I'm attaching the video demo here.

Learn this one. Love this one. I'm convinced there is no more efficient, effective or functional way to develop lower back strength and shoulder mobility while working the entire posterior chain.

This is also a highly adaptble movement. Remove the barbell from the scene and substitute in a kettlebell or dumbbell in one hand. In this way we're adding the extra benifit of rotational training. As always proceed with caution on all of these. Start small and work your way up.
