Title: I did overhead squats for the first time today
Post by: Royalty on January 23, 2016, 02:00:38 PM
Seemed to work the shoulders & back nicely. I will use it in the future; not as a thigh builder per se... but it was a good warm up exercise. It forced me to concentrate on form. So it got my mind ready for barbell back squats.

Do you understand the teaching method to an OH head squat, snatch balance and bar placement when it comes to the external rotation of the shoulders? The teaching starts with behind the neck press with the bar or PVC over the shoulder, hip and ankle with eyes in the neutral position. That video shows EXACTLY that. The load is directly balanced over those joints. As long as there is enough thoracic mobility and the load isn't shifting forward "butt wink" is irrelevant. Using the term "butt wink" is que term used when teaching the progression. What you see in that video is damn near textbook.

coach, you can see the knees get loaded before the hips. The knees move forward then the hips. The heels are coming off the ground.  The elbows are bent-compensating to allow the overhead position-the head pokes forward 1st rep, the chest moved forward to allow for balance overhead

What the hell is a "butt wink?"

When you have 25 years of squatting wrong to unlearn, you hear a lot of terms like "buttwink". It's essentially when you squat lower than your hip mobility allows and your entire hip structure has to undergo posterior tilt to compensate. This puts the entire lower lumbar under sheer stress. It's actually pretty easy to diagnose in lifters without using weight. Just have them go ATG and watch the hips to see if they rotate.

Coach loved the video demo and I don't care for politics but when you say stuff like the above you sound foolish.

You think the young/college aged and lazy make up enough of the vote to swing the election? Do you know the turnout percentages of these voters?

The vast MAJORITY of voting America works, they aren't looking for handouts. Of course there are others that do want everything free, but they aren't the ones who show up to political rally's with signs.

The popularity vote is almost always spilt, if it was as simple as persuading one group collectively elections would be simple.

100% lock out does not mean a compensation for shoulder position. If it did his external rotation couldn't be in that position. But as it were, his elbows are locked as much as his elbows allow.

Ever do a behind the neck press? Tell me where the bar path is at the top of the movement? Heels are not off the floor. If they were it would be an indication of the load shifting forward. Clearly it's not.

If you think those are "common" mistakes of the overhead press then you need to do some extensive research on O-lifts for athletes.....not Olympic lifters.

Common mistakes...

Anterior pelvic tilt causing the load to shift and the HEELS to come off the ground.

Lack of external rotation in the shoulders causing the head to NOT "poke" through. If the bar were directly over the top of the head there would be little if any thoracic mobility. Also, the lack of external rotation would indicate lack of scap and thoracic mobility and again, causing the load to shift forward. Ever attempt an OH squat and have your mid back cramp up while in full overhead extension?

Lack of dorsi-flexion in the ankles.

Hip disfunction

Vulgum

Feet that pronate or supinate

Head NOT being through the bar

Squat depth

THOSE above are the COMMON mistakes.

You forgot the buttwink..

And the main problem is this: Average people find these exercises and try them without anything like knowledge how to do it right, but technique like this is just too demanding to average gym rat. The errors of his techniques are clear; her posture is not stable, because at the bottom of the squat his lower back is rounded, probably as the gluteus and the hamstrings are too tight. Why you shouldn't squat with the rounded lower back? Do I have to tell it? Most of the spinal disc herniation comes from this kind of errors, and that isn't nice thing to do to some guy who is paying you as his PT. It is obvious that real coach should know this, but for some getbig clown this could be unknown mystery: If your squat has the buttwink, don't squat until you can do it properly  ;D

This exercise comes from the Olympic weightlifting, and those guys uses the weightlifting shoes, which has some heel, so your stand is different. These gym rats  try to do the same with the flat running shoes = buttwink = with heavy loads = a spinal hernia = the unsymmetrical pain at the lower back = most common back injury at the gym.

You forgot the buttwink..

And the main problem is this: Average people find these exercises and try them without anything like knowledge how to do it right, but technique like this is just too demanding to average gym rat. The errors of his techniques are clear; her posture is not stable, because at the bottom of the squat his lower back is rounded, probably as the gluteus and the hamstrings are too tight. Why you shouldn't squat with the rounded lower back? Do I have to tell it? Most of the spinal disc herniation comes from this kind of errors, and that isn't nice thing to do to some guy who is paying you as his PT. It is obvious that real coach should know this, but for some getbig clown this could be unknown mystery: If your squat has the buttwink, don't squat until you can do it properly  ;D

I think the most frustrating part of this thread is arguing with people that just chime in just to argue. You're one of them. Not once did you or COULD you address my post but rather just make an attempt to pick it apart as if you really know what the fuck you're talking about. Unless you teach this day in and day out and have a little something to back it up, out of all sincerity stay out of it.

But you would rather attack me rather than play off of someone else's post. You want to talk about this or do you want to have a civil debate about this? Just the fact you mentioned "average gym rat" "her" "rounded lower back" "buttwink" and expecting them to use $150 weight lifting shoes is a mind blower in itself. And BTW, where in any part of my posts did I say we use heavy loads on this? Where did I say that these were competitive Olympic weight lifters? You're clearly clueless.

And all due respect to Gene, I like him and I do think he's pretty well read when it comes to training but one lesson with Kelly Starett or anyone isn't the be all to end all. I can quote the USAW Manuel all day long and you won't  see "buttwink" "stick your butt out" or any cue like that. There isn't just one way to teach, there are many that end with similar results not one worse than another.

Yes, everyone, but you. Here you go:



Compared to this dude whose technic is correct, the idiot on your video looks like a handicapped moron. Hope this helps..

you're comparing the oh squat of a 14 year old kid to Chris fucking Spealler.  seriously??

the 14 year old kid's form is perfectly acceptable.  is it perfect?  no.  why?  because the kid is 14 fucking god damn years fucking old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

can he improve it and make it better?  yes?  you walk into 100 high schools and pick out some of their best athletes.  now have them perform an overhead squat with an empty bar.  they will all be for shit.  this kid is way ahead of the game for a kid his age. and you're comparing him to Chris Spealler.  You're a fuckin idiot.

It's a challenging exercise for me. I'm not an expert and couldn't guess how much muscle it builds or to what extent better balance and core strength improves the traditional squat.

We do it more for hip dysfunction (flexibility) more than anything. For those that have trouble we'll stick with PVC pipe, elevated heels w/5-10lbs plates, ankle flossing for dorsi-flexion, etc

We'll never meet. You don't have the balls. We could be standing right next to each other and you wouldn't have the balls to say who you actually are.
Think you mean standing over you, ball sniffer.

I've doing a lot of under gluten squats lately. Talk about a deep burn.
