Overhead Squat Cues:
- Start exercise in a standing position: feet shoulder width, core engaged, arms stretched overhead with lats engaged, shoulders back, and chest up.
- Drop your hips back and down as you bend at the knees, keep weight on your heels, and maintain arms overhead.
- Return to start position in a controlled movement while maintaining a neutral spine for one rep.
Ideas for Exercise Uses:
- Perform as a warm-up exercise before doing weighted overhead squats or squat press exercises.
- Add to a full body functional routine before doing your cardio.
- Use as a form drill to practice engaging your lats and maintaining proper posture while performing an exercise movement.
