With the barbell placed overhead and further from

With the barbell placed overhead and further from your center of mass, the overhead squat places significantly more demands on both mobility and stability.⁠
⁠
There are a few areas that are crucial for overhead squat mobility:⁠
(1) The lats are challenged when the arms are overhead and the hips flexed.⁠
(2) The thoracic spine (upper back) needs great extension to stabilize loads overhead.⁠
(3) The hips need good mobility.⁠
(4)The ankles must be excellent. If we can't get the knees forward, the torso will lean over, making the above areas work even harder.⁠
⁠
Here are five of our favorite drills to improve overhead squat mobility.⁠
⁠
Need more help? Shoot me a DM of your overhead squat. I'll send you a copy of our Ultimate Mobility Checklist. With both of those, we can identify which @performanceplusprogram is best to help clean up your overhead squat!⁠
