Best Upper Back Exercises to Improve Your Overhead Squat.
Limited upper back mobility (or thoracic extension) can result in compensatory movements in the shoulder, hip, and low back resulting in poor form and injury with an overhead squat. Full thoracic extension is essential to allow for the shoulders/arm to reach overhead and to allow for upright posture. Featured are some of the top 5 exercises to improve your upper back mobility/thoracic mobility. These exercises can also be utilized to improve your front bar squat, overhead press, push press, split jerk and the snatch. 💪👌
Best Hip Mobility Exercises to Improve Your Squat Depth.
Shakira was right when she said "hips don't lie". Our hip joint is the center of our kinetic chain foundation. Thus, it must maintain a combination of both joint mobility and stability. Having the appropriate mobility in your hips (along with knee and ankle mobility of course), will allow you to reach a good squat depth and allow for more EMG activity of your gluteal and quad muscles.
Best Shoulder Mobility Exercises To Improve Your Overhead Squat & Push Press.
The shoulder (glenohumeral joint) has many moving parts including the scapulothoracic joint, acromioclavicular joint (AC joint), and the sternoclavicular joint (SC joint) that must work in concert together. Without having the necessary mobility (as well as strength and stability), you the fitness athlete, may be more susceptible to compensatory movements or injury
