Matt,

Could it be a stability issue?  Check out point number one in this Alwyn

Subject: [Supertraining] Re: Overhead Squat Progress



Thanks for asking. As far as I can tell the problem is a lack of shoulder 
flexibility. As I sqaut I am unable to keep the bar over my center of gravity, 
bringing me forward and off balance. I am strong with back squat, front squat, 
and cleans, so I do not think a lack of lower body strength is an issue. My 
upper body strength, including core, is also pretty good. I think once I 
improve my flexibility I will be able to stick the movement. Starting with a 
broomstick to practice the motion sounds like a good point to progress from. I 
had trouble with just the bar, which makes me feel a little pathetic.
