Definition

A front squat flowing directly into an overhead press in one continuous movement. This is a barbell movement used in CrossFit but derived from weightlifting or compound strength training. It combines technical positions with rapid force production, so load and repetition density should follow technical proficiency rather than precede it.

Practical use

Practice the component positions with manageable loads before using the movement in high-density conditioning.
