Wait for it….
If you’ve been with us long enough chances are you’ve overhead squatted before. For many overhead squats challenge range of motion which, make it difficult position to achieve and hold. Most of the time mobility and balance are two major reasons why this lift is so difficult.
To help us help you find balance in this lift we’ve programmed overhead squats with a pause at the bottom. This may not seem like a huge change but it will give you an opportunity to find a stable bottom position that can greatly enhance your ability to lift more weight safely and with more confidence.
Please note the pause in this lift can prevent you from loading your barbell to your “normal” overhead squat weights. Respect your limits and find your balance today.
Come party with us this Saturday starting at 6pm. See all your favorite people in real clothes! Oh and there’s an open bar. 🙂
