The bar is taken off the rack from behind the neck in a similar fashion as the back squat. The lifter takes a snatch grip on the bar, does a push press or push jerk to place the bar in position. The lifter then squats until the hips are bellow parallel with the legs with the bar fully locked out overhead in a wide grip. The lifter stands to complete the movement.
The overhead squat is often used as a diagnostic for flexibility.
Often abbreviated OHS
