Despite my shins still suffering from last Sunday’s race, I did some overhead squats tonight. I did the usual 135lbs for a whole whack of reps.

I did a quick “overhead squat” search on Google and found this vid. The guy starts off light (relatively anyway, at 135#), then after a few missed attempts at 225#, he scales back and nails a 205 pounder.

But check out his form. It’s good stuff. He nails his balance and is able to go down past the parallel to floor position.

Overhead squats are great, but difficult. Test it out sometime if you’ve never done them before. Use an empty bar or even a broomstick before you add the weight. Even then, go light. This is one exercise where form is key.
