Master the Overhead Squat. ... If you do it right, the overhead squat is an effective movement for your legs, hips, shoulders, even your abs [abdominal muscles]. ...When trying to perform an overhead squat, a lot of people either shift their weight too far forward onto their toes or back onto their heels, among other mistakes. You want to aim to keep your weight balanced over the middle of your arches, with your arms over your feet. Begin in a standing position, holding a dowel overhead with your arms straight and your feet about shoulder-width apart. Initiate the movement with your hips, squatting back and down until the tops of your thighs are at least parallel to the floor. As you go, think about pulling the dowel apart with your hands. Push through your hips to return to a standing position.

OBS

This bodybuilding exercise can be performed with a medicine ball, a barbell, dumbbells or any other accessory.
