I would like to do a substitute in stage 3-A for the dumbbell single arm overhead squat. I just can't seem to get that one down. And with my shoulder impingement it just aggravates it. Any suggestions?

    I have already commented on this question on your page but can you do either an offset over head squat (holding one dumbbell or kettlebell over your head and leaving the other arm free) or an overhead squat (holding a bar or two dumbbells over your head) as i think these will engage the core muscles the way that move intends them to be used. not sure if that will hurt your shoulder though.

    I can't do that move, or any overhead squat really. I just can't do them. I'm doing Supercharged and have subbed in a back squat. I realize it isn't the best substitute but it's what I can do.

    Thanks! I just can't seem to get the move down. I will try a different squat.
