Resistance Band Overhead Squat
The overhead squat against a long looped band stood on and held overhead in straight arms; the band pulls hardest as you stand.
How to do it
Setup
Standing on a long looped band, feet shoulder-width, the loop held overhead in straight arms.
Steps
- Squat down with the arms locked overhead.
- Keep the band in line over the feet.
- Stand up against the band's pull.
Common mistakes
Band slipping off the feet: stand on it with the whole foot. Arms bending as the band tightens: a lighter band. Chest dropping at depth: stop where the arms stay overhead.
Breathing
Big breath at the top, exhale past the sticking point.
