You might notice we squat almost on a daily basis, or at the the very least in our warm up. Please know that all of those air squats and perfect lunges serve a much greater good. We are constantly striving for virtuosity (i.e. doing the common uncommonly well) in this foundational movement. Today’s workout will feature the overhead squat which puts great demands on keeping your torso upright in the squat and our weight in our heels. Don’t worry so much about the movement but attempting to find that virtuous squat.
The overhead squat also puts a great deal of demands on shoulder mobility. We will provide drills and scaled movements for those that struggle with the movement. And when learning and perfecting this complex lift, LIGHTER IS BETTER!!
