Overhead squat

KEY COACHING POINTS:

  • Feet shoulder width apart or just wider

  • Have a wide grip on the bar (much wider than shoulder width)

  • Shoulders pinned back

  • Descend by driving your hips back and letting your knees naturally track towards your toes

  • The bar should stay overhead through the full exercise with elbows locked out

  • Go as low as you can whilst maintaining a neutral spine
