Excellent explanation to help understand this. Overactive and under active muscles was one of the hardest things to understand in the entire program.

[samirbitar]

well done! bravo! I've been across the Web watching and learning as i prepare for my test. but this guy knows his s***. well articulated and demonstrated. thank you!

[chariotsx]

Thank you so much for the examples! It really helps that you demonstrated the things that you were talking about. It made the topic much easier to understand & memorize.

[thetrueprotag_]

Great, thanks! I have a habit of overthinking and this helped me narrow down on the things should be focusing on.

[askxaboutxme]

This was well explained, awesome teacher! Thank you for sharing!

[kimbell]

This was a great tutorial. Best I have seen on the OHSA. Thank you for the refresher!

[truckerwellnesssusa]

That was a good advertisement for your business since I found this to be one of the most comprehensive and thorough explanations of the overhead squat assessment. Well done!

* Kudos to Josh for holding some of those "at the bottom" poses without moving and being able to change positions on cue at said position ;-)

[alexginnold]

Excellent. Well explained. FYI you said “perpendicular” when I think you meant to
say “parallel “when explaining the relationship between the arms/ tibia and back.

[ameliacarter]

Understand it better! Thank you both!!😊

[jenniferl]

Well shot and clearly explained, thanks so much!!

[adioman]

Due to whats going on in the world its been very hard for me as a hands on learner to really understand certain points of the OHSA. Its easy to learn but hands on learning or seeing someone else explain as they are doing it would be a better view point in learning for myself and then I stumbled on this video of yours and I wanna say thank you for making this video and also great job! well explained and easy to see the how's and whys I've had some Q's on. This is def gonna help me better understand the assessment and to be a better CPT!

[lindsyc]

Great job guys don't forget to tell them to watch for the head as well in the static posture before the overhead squat assessment. Maybe that's another video though. Good job thanks for the information.

I appreciate the live demonstration of the Overhead Squat I just started as a PT in the gym, & this is one of my green areas you put it in practical terms. I am curious though why it isn't always performed with shoes off? Since it can reveal more & is said to be the best way to perform it

[didagencheva]

I am sure it is more healthy to be only on his toes when he bend his knees. Can you give more info about the recourses on this topic, please!

[Johnnynolansghost]

Thank you Axiom Fitness Academy! I was wondering if you have any tips on Memorizing the Underactive/Overactive muscles other than just reading pg. 196 over and over, because it's not sticking!! Thanks again.

Josh has lower cross syndrome. Which is common in so many clients. In the over head position it’s obvious but as mentioned Josh has so much muscle in his back. Needs his late released, psoas loved on, and yoga breathing techniques to strengthen his core. Keep the great videos coming.

P. S. I follow you on social media. Blessings to you and the future baby!

[Thefunkeemonkee]

But the toes should be pointing straight right?

[anadiego]

You are saying that wide stance or open stance squats can mean bad ankle mobility but what if you do them like that for glute focus?

[Bwcool]

why does this have to be on the final exam with questions such as OHSA? what is the best way to get the answers correctly so i can pass the exam. thanks

[jesserussell]

why arent you addressing him pushing through his hills when standing ? thats why he loses balance every time he stands
