The deep overhead squat is an effective mobility exercise that aims to improve the mobility and stability of several joints at the same time. These include the ankle, knee, hip and shoulder joints. In this exercise, you hold a barbell or similar bar above your head as you go into a deep squat.
Exercise
Deep overhead squat
Type: Bilateral
Equipment: Körpergewicht
Tutorial
1
Grasp a wooden stick or something similar with both hands slightly wider than shoulder width and stand slightly wider than shoulder width.
2
Raise your arms straight and vertically so that the bar is above your head. Now perform a deep squat.
3
Perform the exercise until you have reached the specified number of repetitions.
Tip
Go down as far as you can as long as your lower back remains straight and you don't hunch over. The aim is to get your hip joint under your knee joint and keep your heels on the floor. If you are not yet able to do this, you can use squat blocks (wedges) to help you raise your heels slightly.
