Elastics Overhead Squat

Video coming soon...

The elastic Overhead squat workout is designed to primarily engage the Quads and Glutes.

Elastics are used to provide resistance, intensifying the workout and targeting specific muscle groups.

By incorporating elastics, the Overhead squat workout helps to build strength and stability in the Quads and Glutes.

While other muscles may be activated, the focus remains on the Quads and Glutes throughout the workout.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and place an elastic band around your thighs, just above your knees.
Hold your arms straight out in front of you, parallel to the floor, with your palms facing down.
Lower your body into a squat position by bending your knees and pushing your hips back.
As you squat down, keep your chest up, back straight, and heels on the ground.
Pause for a moment at the bottom of the squat, then push through your heels to stand back up.
As you stand up, squeeze your glutes and push your knees out against the resistance of the elastic band.
Repeat the squat movement for the desired number of repetitions.

Focus on your form: Start by standing with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes slightly turned out. Keep your chest up, shoulders back, and core engaged throughout the exercise.
Engage your quads: As you lower into the squat, imagine pushing the floor away with your feet, driving through your heels. This will activate your quads, the muscles on the front of your thighs, helping you maintain stability and control.
Squeeze those glutes: To engage your glutes, the muscles in your buttocks, make a conscious effort to squeeze them as you rise back up from the squat. This will not only help you develop a stronger posterior chain but also improve your overall balance and power.
Utilize the resistance: The elastics provide additional resistance, making the exercise more challenging. Embrace this resistance and focus on maintaining tension in the bands throughout the movement. This will help you build strength and endurance in your quads and glutes.
Practice makes perfect: Like any exercise, the overhead squat with elastics requires practice to perfect your form. Start with lighter resistance bands and gradually increase the intensity as you become more comfortable and confident. Remember, progress takes time, so be patient and consistent with your training.
