There are more squat variations out there than you can count on two hands, from barbell back squats to pistol squats and cyclist squats. If you’re a lower-body devotee, you probably already know just how many ways there are to make the most of this movement.

But often, squat variations are mainly focused on engaging the muscles in your legs, such as your glutes and your hamstrings, and they might neglect some parts of the upper body. This is why the overhead squat is such a great movement to learn, particularly if every day is leg day for you and you’re trying to ease yourself into some more upper and full-body-based strength movements.
