The Overhead Squat really is a true and fantastic demonstration of that athletic potential. This doesn't mean only "athletes" of an elite environment can or should do this. Far from it. The definition of athletic potential is all about possessing and showing off your ability in the strength & coordination realms (amongst other facets) & is a movement that everybody should do. The degree to which you do it is the difference."The overhead squat is the ultimate core exercise, the heart of the snatch, and peerless in developing effective athletic movement". - Greg Glassman.
- Simply put, if you have a good looking & effective Overhead Squat it is highly likely your body is going to be a finely strung functional instrument! Take a couple minutes out of your day and check out this classic article from CrossFit founder Greg Glassman on the movement. Worth a read
- Today start out a bit more sensibly with your first working set aiming to be around the 65-70% mark. Look to try and build on every set steadily toward hitting your best "single" for the day. Who knows, maybe you set yourself a new PR?!?!
- Get round your mates, watch them lift, cheer them on, grab some high fives and it'll be a good day!!
- Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
- Scale as needed.
