Overhead Press & Squat

 

1) The Bar is sitting right above the big toes.  The tips of the shoes are clearly advanced under the bar.

2)  Squatting to parallel is a Must.  Here in this position you stretch the quadriceps and alarm the muscle spindles to get ready to a vigorous lifting task.

3) Many people wont squat that deep before a forceful warning from a coach for many weeks or even months before they fall into this habit.

4) If you do not get into this habit now your quadriceps tendons will get used to lifting from obtuse knee angle with very little recruitment of the massive quadriceps in the upward drive of the weight.  That is the quadriceps will weaken, shorten, and set to injuries.  The back will take all the heat and sooner or later you get into habitual back injuries.
