Does anyone have any good resources on developing and maintaining the necessary mobility for a barbell overhead squat?
I've had a recent idea that getting to a point where this position is viable and comfortable and then maintaining it could work as some form of mobility MED for me, due the ROM and stability required in pretty much every joint to achieve this position. The thought wouldn't be to get particularly strong in this position, only to continually practice the position with a moderate/light load. Having an 'end-goal' of sorts for my mobility practice would also significantly improve my discipline with said practice.
Maybe it's a terrible idea (feel free to point out why this may be the case) but I'd appreciate peoples thoughts.
