Floor to Lockout

WHAT 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

  1. 1Stand over the weight, hinge at the hips and grip it with a flat back.
  2. 2Drive through the legs and extend the hips to bring it to the chest or shoulders.
  3. 3Dip and drive the weight overhead, or snatch it straight up in one move.
  4. 4Finish standing tall with the arms locked and the weight over mid-foot.
  5. 5Lower it to the floor under control and reset the back for each rep.
