PVC Overhead Squat Hold

BeginnerBodyweight

The PVC overhead squat hold is a static drill for grooving overhead squat position without any real load. Holding a light pipe overhead while sitting into a squat challenges the quads, shoulders, and core to stay stable. It's ideal for beginners learning the pattern or anyone refining mobility and technique.

How to do it

  1. 1

    Grip a PVC pipe with both hands, wider than shoulder-width, using an overhand grip.

  2. 2

    Stand with your feet just outside shoulder-width.

  3. 3

    Press the pipe overhead with straight arms, keeping it slightly behind your head and elbows unlocked.

  4. 4

    Brace your core, keep your chest up, and hold that overhead position.

  5. 5

    Hinge your hips back and bend your knees to descend into a squat, stopping before your form breaks down.

  6. 6

    Hold the bottom briefly, then drive through your legs to stand while keeping the pipe steady overhead.
