I did overhead squats for the first time today
« 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.

Sounds like a good exercise...if you overhead squat at least 650 lbs for no less than 25 reps like most GetBiggers.

I have never gotten results from these. I much prefer front squats.

It's an exercise I really have difficulty doing properly. Trying to improve shoulder and ankle mobility and hoping that helps.

That's why I stated it exposes weaknesses.

Quit trolling. It's annoying. Better yet, throw a quick video together and show us.

Could be part of the new Kaitlyn Jenner  "cross-Gender-fit" routines.
The clean and jerk may be something to see in that gym  :o

My horrid shoulder flexibility prevents me from doing this....can't even do the bar without it pitching forward.  I'm a year from my last surgery so I should improve this.

not trolling
I'm not attacking your business ::)
So you are telling me you don't see the head poke forward?



There is a 6'2 monster that works out at my gym that does an amazing deep overhead squat with almost 225

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.
