Chuck - a man on a mission!

On Monday we did 100 Overhead Squats for time.  As many of you quickly found, the Overhead Squat is a very challenging movement as there probably weren’t many times prior to performing his lift that you’ve had to ask your shoulders and upper body girdle to push upward while you yourself moved downward – this one is unique. One of the best tips that we can give for the OHS is to actively push the bar upward throughout the entire movement.   Your arms and shoulders aren’t just holding the weight still and in place, but rather they are pushing the bar towards the ceiling while at the same time trying to pull the bar apart.  Master this upper aspect of the OHS and the rest of the lift will become much easier to perform.  I promise.
