Here we go with a heavy one. The overhead squat is the king of core exercises. Put some weight up overhead with a snatch grip... and SQUAT! In the bottom position, that weight "wants" to move forward and backward. The body needs to create some serious tension in the midline- welding the pelvis to the spine- so as not to flex or extend the back.
Today, come on in and get in your general warm up, then we will work on both squat and shoulder mobility. No hurry... but warm up those tight spots before we get into the basic barbell warm up and then move into squatting with that weight overhead.
