“The overhead squat is the ultimate core exercise and peerless in developing effective athletic movement. This functional gem trains for efficient transfer of energy from large to small body parts and improves functional flexibility. Similarly, it develops the squat by amplifying and cruelly punishing faults in posture, movement, and stability. The overhead squat is to midline control, stability and balance what the clean and snatch are to power—unsurpassed.” -Greg Glassman | CrossFit

The overhead squat is more than just a strength-building exercise; it’s a tool that reveals imbalances in your body while simultaneously working to correct them. By performing this movement, you can identify weaknesses in mobility, stability, and strength across key areas like the shoulders, hips, and ankles. It builds strength where it’s lacking, improves mobility in tight areas, and reinforces proper alignment and stability. #overheadsquat #injury #lowbackpain #painrelief | Total Performance F
