Overhead Squat Therapy

[@mcermeno99]

What an impressive communicator . I loved watching her coaching style.

[@bastadtroll8922]

Me too though to be honest i would love to have seen the tattoed girl squatting from a different angle preferably with my face up on the ground and her squatting down onto it. I mean the other one would be great too but the tatto one looks lke she washes less and would be more sweaty.

[@alemagnum1]

Wow this actually helps me a lot, I've been having the same issue when doing the OH Squads. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for not making video 15 minutes long and talk about everything but overhead squat Short and simple video Thanks A Lot 👍🏻🤗

[@ronintennispro7708]

EXCELLENT overhead squat assessment! Thank you for sharing!

[@NorthernKing1981]

are U sure? what about her back ? like a bow. this is big mistake

[@A_H9217]

+NorthernKing1981 yeah anterior posture, most people have that, specially women, she needs to teach the proper squat first. Having said that, this video was about about overhead, so focused on the shoulder flexibity,for core engagement should be another video lol

[@sumsar01]

Well her back is like that because of a lack of mobility. Usually the reason why you do mobility exercises like this is to increase mobility isn't it?...

[@9tophat]

Outstanding overhead squat tips. So helpful for me and anyone else challenged by them. Definitely will use those training tips. Thanks!

[@guillermobrett722]

@Alessandro Cristian I really appreciate your reply. I found the site on google and I'm in the hacking process now. Looks like it's gonna take quite some time so I will get back to you later with my results.

[@guillermobrett722]

@Alessandro Cristian it worked and I finally got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much, you saved my account !

[@alessandrocristian6839]

@Guillermo Brett happy to help :)

[@MrKAHutch]

Great coaching!

[@mini2umario]

Never seen this before. Thanks for sharing. Going to add into our programming as skill piece.

[@toddie3910]

Oh my gosh!! Can you be my coach please 😂 Love your approach!

[@jibrankhalil2683]

loved the coaching...... great technique....

[@DanielleMalkinNinja]

This drill is awesome! I love it!

[@soupreem27]

Thank you for this video! I have been struggling with my OHS. This is a great tool to use to perfect them.

[@edisontran1325]

That was the best Benching I have ever seen

[@LesFayes]

internally rotated shoulders give you much more stability in the overhead squat then externally rotated shoulders

[@trentedwards5005]

+LesFayes I hope this is a joke

[@trentedwards5005]

Only internal rotation of the humerus not of the entire joint.

[@jojojlc7070]

The problem with internal rotation is that crossfitters believe the only way internal rotation is possible is through rounding the shoulders. Or rather the problem is with the crossfitters.

[@bencenters3957]

LesFayes the barbell should also be over mid foot, not over the shoulders

[@lancehornet221]

Internal shoulder rotation is a much more stable overhead position. However, when teaching the overhead squat to people that aren't aiming to be professional weightlifters, external rotation is a much less complicated position to teach, and trying to teach internal rotation to people simply trying to gain fitness may actually lead to more injuries. Crossfit teaches external rotation in order to recruit more of the muscles in the back and for a better transference of movement into every day life.

[@ThomasGerlach4Tri]

I really appreciate the short video

[@seanwest5330]

I’m not criticizing. I’m actually asking this for Advice. I’m in the process of becoming a personal trainer right now and everything I’m being told is to always keep your feet facing directly forward otherwise if out outward it causes injuries. Is this not true? Is forward or outward best position? Would love feedback from any trainers out there.

[@aaronjackson9035]

Wow, great video! Coaching inspiration

[@dawgman365]

Thanks for sharing. Great technique improvement.

[@harpjason208]

Too many cues equals, confusion.

[@Blakeyboi24]

i did Crossfit before but never knew about this awesome and on point therapy! Will do this later!

[@jennatulls0420]

LOVE this, thank you so much for sharing!

[@mattybt400]

If that girls does a weighted squat like that - snap city.

[@johnames6430]

yeah not sure what sort of instruction this was, if she had any weight on there she would've lost it if the bar moved even 1 inch forward

[@tavisjou3778]

@@johnames6430 well thats why you have practice mobility with small weight, duh?

[@tj9382]

That’s not the point, it’s about identifying and then working on the mobility before you even think about doing it with weight. This is a much harder lift than people think so correct form is crucial.

[@mattybt400]

@@tavisjou3778 I suppose the greater point is - why waste hours upon hours learning a very complex movement that is extremely liable to injury to work muscles that can be exercised very easily in other ways?

[@KalispellBarbell]

Matty Bt are you saying development greater mobility and motor control is a bad thing? It’s just a pvc pipe

[@xXSoulGothicXx]

I love that! Is very hard for me to get a good position in a squat!

[@Ga77]

thanks!!! i will practice with this tip.

[@tj9382]

That’s very useful.

[@davidjanbaz7728]

Beautiful: doing this in a Smith machine rack is also a way of safety increasing flexibility and strength before attempting Qlympic lifting : most gyms have a Smith machine , and it's a good warm up for regular squats.

[@premiertrainingFL]

Using a smith machine is nothing like over head squatting in free space, or squatting, It’s a fixed range of motion and would have only reinforced poor position, but also potentially very dangerous for someone who lacks awareness in these positions.

[@shaimaawidat5788]

Thank you for sharing this info I really appropriate it 😘😘

[@makstod6903]

Awesome,thank you so much!

[@buckmims5296]

this is a great help

[@andreas49er]

thx a lot for this !

[@louiem5985]

That was a good overhead quat assessment . But towards the end she found out what her issue was.. The couch did t say what it was. Could it be her shoulders needs more work?

[@sumsar01]

Hip mobility. More torque, out with the knees as she said.

[@aventurasdefrancisco]

Great... 👏👏👏

[@TeddyBearrrs]

word! that trainer advice got me hype to go gym

[@macaw2000]

What if I leave a dootie on the floor?

[@bastadtroll8922]

do you mean shit?

[@aardvark493]

I am having such a hard time with this move. As soon as I add weight...I'm a mess. My coaches can only help so much. It's a tough maneuver

[@Rommel1988111]

These guys are on an instructor course?

[@xpswebstar420]

Super like!

great fix with minimal verbal cueing

[@Rommel1988111]

Is this a L1 course?

[@J.C.90]

I always have problems with the OHS :(

[@bastadtroll8922]

use less weight simple.

[@CarlosRamirez-we8zi]

I thought about doing a overhead squat on a Smith machine to help me keep upright and during the squat and shoulders back, but I quit planet fitness no free weights just dumbbells

[@Mrfitness24726]

will you coach me, i live mich?

[@bencenters3957]

What makes them think they can externally rotate the shoulder for years, with no injury?

[@brandentheultramangofighter]

I can't even do a squat 😶🙁even when I try I can't do it my coaches get mad at me constantly

[@cardioclasses8055]

The problem here is not the form is the lack of mobility, she does not need to keep trying, next step is ankle mobility screen, then leg straight screen.

[@swiperboysb6897]

lol i still CANT do the overhead squat. my shoulders/arms cant hold the bar over past my head

[@valerie_d]

Do windmills

[@Bsblnmore]

People coming from Silver Sluggers 👇

[@katesummers657]

M trying to gain some booty Do they help in that?

[@sambevis2623]

not really. just do back squats with a wide-ish stance.

[@katesummers657]

sam bevis thanks

[@doctormanisha901]

Kindaa good

[@Kafwatula]

More confused than anything 🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@KGRAO2047]

Zen says the coach speaks a lot seldom teaches good

[@petesspspsps]

"Let's think before we throw out more queues...what's that going to do to Cassidy?" "She's gonna forget the shoulders." Wrong answer. ROFL.

[@NoahDancaster]

The shoulders are too externally rotated. A good squat assessment for beginners overall, but those shoulders ain't right.

[@MikeXCSkier]

The cue to externally rotate the shoulders is completely wrong.

[@shashykfit]

Hola

[@azu.316]

Zeroooooooooooo!!!!

[@andrewsrahn]

ewwwww her shoulder at 3:02

[@HermanViana]

🤤Oh Cassidy

[@thijsv6770]

I was taught not to put my toes out. Different schools ?

[@khklmatam8679]

You had an ignorant coach, just like 98% of the crossfit coach regarding weightlifting. If you wanna master weightlifting, learn from weightlifters.

[@premiertrainingFL]

It has more to do with the shape of hip joint than anything else, some people squat very well with a neutral foot, others better with 5-10 degree angle turned out.

[@patjustpat8178]

slow, slow, slow, slow

[@GreyRock100]

Go slow, ease up on it Cassidy...

[@bummedkumquat]

Yoga pants are too sexy to concentrate.

[@elonmuskarabic]

it was all wrong she explained it all fucking wrong!!!!!! Every thing in that overhead squat lead to injuries guys please watch out go watch olympic weightlifting videos if you like to do overhead squat!!

[@CityofPurps916]

Welp, for beginners, she has very poor posture which she should have been starting to work prior to even think in ng about doing an overhead squat.

[@vladanr74]

Great video but "athletes"? C'mon. Recreational gym goers is as serious as it gets for those people.

[@oscarh3419]

The fat instructor?

[@philipkempbell7174]

This is bad. Her T-7-10 vertebrae is clearly restricting her movement. This is evident at 2.17, where the instructor has her hand on her back. But hey!!!! Crossfit cant see this and believe you can just smash it. The instructor is a liability.

[@johnpepper-d6d]

how does a vertebrae get restricted. just wondering

[@bdegrds]

You can't learn Olympic movements by watching KZbin videos. You need a good real life coach.

[@bencenters3957]

What makes them think they can externally rotate the shoulder for years, with no injury?

[@MikeXCSkier]

Because it's the CF mentality - this is how we learned it, therefore it must be right. Let's ignore the fact that not one high level weightlifter externally rotates their shoulders, it is completely incorrect, and this externally rotated position, contrary to what CF claims, actually creates a less stable overhead position.
