Barbell Overhead Squat

Video coming soon...

The barbell overhead squat is a workout that primarily targets the quads and glutes.

It involves holding a barbell overhead while performing deep squats to engage the targeted muscles.

This exercise is effective for building strength and stability in the lower body, but also engages secondary muscles for balance and coordination.

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, toes pointed slightly outward.
Grasp the barbell with an overhand grip, hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Lift the barbell off the rack, positioning it directly overhead with your arms fully extended.
Lower your body by bending your knees and hips, keeping your chest up and your back straight.
Continue descending until your thighs are parallel to the floor, or as low as you can comfortably go.
Push through your heels and extend your knees and hips to return to the starting position.

Start with an empty barbell to master the technique before adding weight.
Position the barbell overhead, with hands slightly wider than shoulder-width apart.
Engage your core and keep your chest up throughout the movement.
Initiate the squat by bending your knees and pushing your hips back.
Focus on driving through your heels to activate your quads and glutes.
Maintain a straight line from your head to your heels throughout the exercise.
