That hips back before lowering move has just completely changed everything for me.

@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell 2 года назад

YEs, that is our favorite cue/tip for people!! It usually helps A LOT!

@jaynemc5658 Месяц назад

I love how they both broke everything down and explained very clearly each component

@jwaco4093 2 года назад

You just don’t get this kind of instruction in class. Y’all have had some of the best tutorials that I’ve ever seen. It’s great seeing y’all doing this. It becomes a library to access.

@spencergsmith 8 месяцев назад

You SHOULD get this kind of instruction in class, but too many gyms and programs focus on more volume rather than improve mechanics or movement quality. This leaves little to no time to implement progressions or teach points of performance effectively.

@joshuafawcett4286 2 года назад

Lightbulb moment when Patrick said "Hips back first" I am one hundred percent not doing that and its causing a lot of resistance in getting into the proper position at the bottom. Thank you so much!

@dennishena1399 2 года назад

I swear…you guys must leave a live feed into my phone. I’ve just started intentionally training my overhead squat THIS WEEK! And all of a sudden you guys drop a new video training the overhead squat! Thank you! There’s a lot of confirmation that I’m on the right track, but also a few new ideas to apply. Thanks again!

@joshmuller6061 2 года назад

Great brief tutorial. From lock out, to hips back first, to eyes forward, to screwing the feet - you guys are killing it! Great tips!!

@sunainatalwar7026 2 года назад

Thank you so very much!!!!! I have Overheard squats today, so I’m excited to take this information and apply it right away! I will usually look at the strength and the WOD of the day first thing in the morning and then study your videos before I go to my box!!! And for all my weaknesses I watch those videos on repeat! Your videos are much appreciated!!

You two are awesome! Thank you so much for doing this video! I have really been working on squat snatches and trying to be stable once I get underneath the bar. I will start doing over head squats more often and hopefully that will help me with my squat snatches!! 💜

@wolfganghetzer5670 2 года назад

Thank you so much for posting this, the tips really helped! Overhead squats have always been hard for me, I thought it was simply a mobility issue but I’m pretty mobile. Turns out I wasn’t really activating my core like you said, and presto, instant improvement!

@darrellmacdonald8833 2 года назад

This was great, was at the gym today working on this. Upper body Mobility is my issue can't keep the bar stacked when breaking at the hip. Coach had me do it facing the wall with a very light bar with 10's. Weights were up against the wall for support and to help with keeping form at the top as I went into the squat. Really helped get the feel but still got a long way to go.

@saraskirvin763 2 года назад

Thanks for the tips! I have always struggled to figure out the hand position and have to play around with it but your very first tip about 90’ angle really clicked with me.

@shellykeyes8389 2 года назад

Love this info!! I have some sort of shoulder impingement right now so watching from the sidelines. I belong to a local CrossFit gym but haven’t been going due to this injury. Really inspired right now, might be time to let a doc check this injury out so I can get back to learning these moves...💪🏻

@tatetate3341 2 года назад

Thanks! I’ve been doing CrossFit for about 4 months now. I’ve been into fitness for years but this is a new thing which is great. I really like how you emphasize quality over quantity. It’s about perfecting and mastering the movement then the increase in weight will come. It’s about form!

@markcrandall5800 2 года назад

Thank you, I'm kinda new to CrossFit and your the first athlete I found with amazing information!!!!!! Rooting for you in the Games from Michigan, you guys are amazing with all the information you share it's very helpful when I'm not at my Gym and I'm working out at home!!!!!!!!

@stefanschotte5490 11 месяцев назад

excellent info, well explained, will try this out in my training. For core strength, I started performing lots of front squats, and I feel it really helps my core stability.

Hips back first is really helpful. My Overhead squat is much heavier than my snatch….by 30 lbs. I would love to hear your advice on how to improve the pull to overhead and dropping below the bar to catch. Are there drills you use to improve this part of the movement?

@gordomartinez8016 2 года назад

This is a beautiful and powerful movement. I wonder, it is easier with a 28.5mm bar or a 29mm bar? If one can do a front squat, will it then carry over well into this? Hope that makes sense. Anyway, hope you and yours are well😊 I’d like to squat like Patrick👍.. where’s Milo’s training 😞

what do you recommend to people that had dislocated their shoulder ?

@rickpedro53 4 месяца назад

My issue with these is wrist pain. I could never pin point my problem in a live heavy set. Any thoughts? Maybe holding too wide, bar bringing my wrists back, or keep my fists upward towards ceiling? Light weight doesn't cause an issue just heavier weight

@firemc50 2 года назад

Another great video. Question: what watch are you wearing and is it good for tracking CrossFit?

@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell 2 года назад

I wear the PolarGrit. I got it at the Spartan Games. I would probably go with a Polar Vantage as the Grit is geared more towards mountain biking running etc. It is a great watch tho!

hips and knees at the same time is probably learned behavior from front squats and oly lifts

@maguifreitas 4 месяца назад

I started the gym two weeks ago. One of the exercises is overhead squat. I have felt that when I squat the side of my thighs they get the impression of mini electric shocks. As I do more, the feeling decreases. Is it something dangerous? Should I be worried?

@ShurtliffChannel 2 года назад

Overall great advice but please see what Olympic weightlifters like Torokhity have to say about internal vs external rotation.

@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell 2 года назад

Thanks! Just like anything else, you will see variations at all levels of both internal and external rotation. We have found focusing on external or basically where the elbows are pointed can help keep the lats engaged and keep people in a more stable position That being said there are always more than one way to do things and quite a bit of it will depend on overhead mobility.

@andresmaldonado7356 Год назад

The armpit queue was literally taught to me in reverse which I hated because it felt like it was damaging my shoulder joint integrity so I’m glad you said this because due to shoulder mobility issues from some surgeries, I’ve not done these that often and really want to due to the physical demand on the entire body which is a big bang for your buck exercise. Thanks for the info

@johnrobinson4445 Год назад

"slightly wider"??? That is much, much wider than shoulder-width. Which is good, it is the correct position, but no way it is "slightly". It's double, or nearly.

@kris_skogsholm 2 года назад

You must’ve meant to say internal rotation and not external rotation when talking about the shoulders. Not sure why CrossFit consistently teaches these terms wrong. Look at your shoulders at the bottom of a snatch and tell me that isn’t internal rotation

@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell 2 года назад

Hey! Check out this article. Scroll all the way to the bottom where it demonstrates internal vs external rotation with the 3 pictures! Depending on your strength/mobility/etc it will vary for you what is the best position. We find at the elite level people can maintain internal rotation and you may see it more but it will be dependent on multiple factors. In our gym people are able to maintain a better position when thinking about maintaining external rotation to keep their torso upright, shoulders from rolling in, and lats turned on. There is always more than one way to do things! vaughnweightlifting.com/2020/10/22/overhead-position-application/

@kris_skogsholm 2 года назад

@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell I absolutely understand that it is easier for many people to start from the top with externally rotated shoulders, especially when they are beginners and lack the mobility through the hips and thoracic spine to get into the best possible bottom position. But if the goal as a coach is to make your athletes as good (in this case at snatching) as possible, wouldn’t it be more beneficial to teach the best position at the bottom of an OHS first and then learn the snatch from there? Not trying to be a hater, I’m a big fan of you as an athlete and love the content you put out. Appreciate the reply and discourse from you!

@igcentral1567 4 месяца назад

1.54 your active shoulder position is wrongly described if you asked me. By external rotation or what you would achieve by bringing your chest forward- the overhead shoulder press would ensure a perfect shoulder to elbow lock and give you strength to hold your position. Please check on that.
