Squat vs. Deadlift

Iron Grip CrossFit – CrossFit

We overhead squat because it makes us better at everything else. Any athlete –even a world class athlete– in any sport who does not train the overhead squat, can improve their general athletic ability by making it a part of their program. Many physical therapists use it as a diagnostic tool. We use it as part of our prescription for forging elite fitness.
