I tried overhead squats for the first time today. What an amazing exercise. It was challenging to use just the bar.
Aren't they cool? Stick with it and you'll find yourself adding more and more weight. I've read where you've "arrived" when you can do 3 sets of 10 with your bodyweight. So far I haven't arrived, but I can do my bodyweight for a couple. I started out just doing the bar, having the muscle kids look at me like I was a doofus, but who cares. It's really helped me with my lower back issues.
After you get a handle on the overhead squats, you can graduate to "pistols"

I'm still at the intermediate stage :bouncing:
