Overhead Positioning
In this episode we are breaking down how we suggest to hold and support the bar overhead with your upper body. This includes what we consider supporting and best distributing the weight, versus muscling the weight and/or more so isolating certain areas of the body, with the actions and positions of the wrists, elbows, shoulders, and scapulas. Tune in to hear our perspectives on what are some debatable points of performance. Enjoy the show!

Tune in to hear about the purpose of the modification, and all the ways you can benefit from isolating the pull under portion of your lifts. Enjoy the show!
