NASM-CPT Overhead Squat - Case Study #1

The NASM Overhead Squat is one of the most important assessments to be familiar with when studying for the CPT exam. Not only is it important to know for the test, but it can tell you a lot about how your clients move. However, to get the most out of it, you need to know what you're looking for and try it with with many types of bodies.
In this video, Axiom Fitness Academy lead instructor Joe Drake, performs the overhead squat assessment on Brittany and explains how to identify potential issues and strategies to improve Brittany's squat.

This was such a helpful video! You’re a great teacher! Thank you for sharing! 😊💕

So I'm thinking if the feet go out when doing a squat, which can happen because of the hip. I would think you can try widening your stance just a little bit, and see if it helps prevent your feet from pointing outward.

That's a great intervention to try.

what I've noticed : heel elevation, leaning forward, leaning towards one side more , foot turnout . great video thank you

Great video! Thank you! Her feet are a lot wider than her natural hip width stance. If her feet were in about 4 inches this would have revealed a lot more. Thanks again!
