Overhead Squat — Bodyweight Variation opens on force profile: a PUSH parent (Overhead Squat) swapped onto Bodyweight. Force direction is the first filter before muscle (quadriceps) or kit.
Among 883 variation pages, this BODYONLY substitute sits in the upper third by parent documentation (≥ 974 chars). Deep parents usually mean a richer step list on the canonical exercise page, not a harder BODYONLY swap by itself.

Safety notes · BODYONLY · PUSH/COMPOUND
Bodyweight on an expert PUSH COMPOUND pattern still removes external load. Progress difficulty with leverage or tempo, not by inventing load that is not there. Read the Progression: when to advance guide before programming the swap.
