Overhead Stabilization

As strong as some athletes are very few are able to stabilize a load overhead.  A number of factors are at fault - too much bench press, too tight shoulders, lack of flexibility, etc.  Most of these can be overcome with a better understanding of what the "overhead position" really is and what key factors need to be in place before it can be safely used.

The following video is from a Russian Kettlebell workshop that I gave at USMC Quantico, VA back in late 2008 and will hopefully set you on the path to maximizing your overhead stability and strength.
