Barbell 1 & 1/4 Overhead Squat

How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

1. 01Take a wide snatch grip, place the bar securely overhead, and set your feet in a stable overhead-squat stance.
2. 02Lock your elbows, press actively into the bar, brace your trunk, and keep the bar balanced over your midfoot.
3. 03Descend to your full controlled squat depth, then rise through approximately the bottom quarter of the movement.
4. 04Lower back to the bottom under control without allowing the bar to drift or your knees to collapse inward.
5. 05Stand fully to complete one repetition; the partial rise plus the full rise constitutes one and one-quarter repetitions.
