In 10 Minutes, build to a heavy 3 rep Overhead Squat

If you struggle with this movement, don’t worry about the weight and focus on getting more comfortable with having the bar overhead. Squat only to a depth where you can maintain a locked out arms position. Using a box to squat to is sometime helpful until you get comfortable with the movement.
