Ground to Overhead
Floor to LockoutWHAT IS IT
Ground to Overhead takes a plate, barbell, dumbbell or sandbag from the floor to locked out overhead by any route — clean and jerk, snatch or a simple lift. It is a staple of HYROX-style metcons that loads the whole body.
HOW TO DO IT CORRECTLY
- 1Stand over the weight, hinge at the hips and grip it with a flat back.
- 2Drive through the legs and extend the hips to bring it to the chest or shoulders.
- 3Dip and drive the weight overhead, or snatch it straight up in one move.
- 4Finish standing tall with the arms locked and the weight over mid-foot.
- 5Lower it to the floor under control and reset the back for each rep.
