  1. Overhead Squats

  2. Bar Position • Establish a wide, even grip on the bar • Place bar overhead just above the back of the head • Arms should be locked out to keep the bar in place • Shrug shoulders to help keep the bar in place

  3. Lower Body Set Up • Your lower body set up is the same as it is for a normal squat • Toes at 11 and1, feet at shoulder width, keep knees behind the toes, press through the outside portion of the heels

  4. Why Overhead Squat? • Due to the placement of the bar and the extension of your torso, you are forced to activate your medial core to stay upright • Forces shoulder stability • It is the most challenging of the squat variations, if you can do this the other types of squats become very easy

  5. Variations • If holding a bar is not possible, you can use: • Light Bar • Jumpbands • PVC Pipe • Body Bars
