There is not much better than progress. There are 40 days between the shot on the left, where I was equipped with my medicine ball and an empty bar and the shot on the right, where I was using weight (80lbs in total).
The overhead squat has got to be one of the toughest lifts we do. It is so awkward, so uncomfortable. I usually feel like I am about to tip over, and I have (twice). But it is also one of those things that you just use the empty bar, the medicine ball, or what ever it takes to work on getting the form down, or at least better, and you just keep after it.
The shot on left is now the “before” picture, but 41 days ago, it was the “after” when paired against the PVC pipe I had been using up to that point.
