Mobility for the Overhead Squat

For CrossFitters, the overhead squat is the epitome of movement and mobility required by the sport. It involves every joint of the body to have optimal mobility, it requires strength in those mobile positions, and it requires balance and coordination. Balance and coordination come with years of practice, as does the strength, but how can you get better in those areas if you can’t even get into the proper position? That is where mobility comes in.
