	The Overhead Squat may be categorized as a leg exercise, but it is one of the best shoulder and upper body developers. Simply keeping the weight overhead will guarantee supreme shoulder stability and development. If you are an athlete looking to get some serious shoulder strength or a fighter with a serious need to develop shoulder endurance, look no further than the overhead squat.
Purpose/Focus: Strength Body Parts Used:  Shoulders, Triceps, Core, Legs Difficulty: Medium

Exercise Steps

	Bring a kettlebell overhead in your right arm
	Slightly lean away from the bell and squat as low as you can keeping the arm with the kettlebell vertical.
	Stand back up while keeping your eyes on the kettlebell overhead
	Perform as many reps as you'd like and repeat on other side.
	Keep your core tight throughout the duration. Make sure your arm stays tight into your shoulder. The goal is to keep your torso as vertical as possible but it is ok to lean slightly. However, don't turn this into a windmill or bent press.
