MOVEMENT BREAKDOWN: OVERHEAD SQUAT

I’ve always had a weakness for overhead squats. However this is an exercise that requires control and balance.

Thanks to the long lever, overhead squats activate the parascapular and paravertebral musculatures and the humerus retractor muscles(trapezius, cuff extrarotators, rhomboid), leading to the significant postural improvements. You will also feel the activation of the oblique muscles.
