Easy Fix to OH Squat

3/21/2012

The following links comprise a three part interview I gave at Crossfit One World in Union City, CA with Crossfit B.A., Freddy Camacho. (Freddy has a great blog at www.crossfitoneworld.com). The purpose of this interview was to address a common limitation in the overhead squat; overactive (hypertonic) shoulder internal rotators / extensors and underactive (hypotonic) shoulder external rotators & scapular depressors. I chose to address the fascia (spider web-like connective tissue) that encases the pecs and lats because it can become very restrictive when putting one's hands overhead. Fascia...meet foam roller.

Why do we post articles?

As we sift through journals, websites, textbooks, etc, it is impossible to memorize every detail of what we read. The Purpose of collecting these articles is two-fold:

1) to build an organized database of information that we come across in order to reference & revisit the material when it becomes acutely relevant,

2) to share the wealth of knowledge, elevating our collective consciousness.
