Overhead Squat Mobility Limit Screen
Overhead squat mobility limit screen uses a light dowel overhead squat to reveal ankle, thoracic, and shoulder limits in one move—guides which mobility drills belong in warm-ups before heavy overhead lifting.
Overhead squat mobility limit screen uses a light dowel or PVC overhead—squat slow to depth—to reveal ankle dorsiflexion, thoracic extension, and shoulder flexion limits in one movement. Heels rise: ankle work.
Arms fall forward: thoracic and lat restriction. Lumbar over-arch: core and hip control gap.
Film from side and front; screen monthly, not every session. Failing patterns guide warm-up picks, not shame labels.
Pain during screen stops load progression.
Common questions
-
Do I need overhead squat mobility if I only back squat?
The screen still helps—heel rise and torso angle reveal ankle and thoracic limits that affect back squat too. Use empty bar or dowel only.
