Overhead Squat
The overhead squat is the ultimate core exercise, the heart of the snatch, and peerless in developing effective athletic movement. This functional gem trains for efficient transfer of energy from large to small body parts – the essence of sport movement. For this reason it is an indispensable tool for developing speed and power. The overhead squat also demands and develops functional flexibility, and similarly develops the squat by amplifying and cruelly punishing faults in squat posture, movement, and stability.
The overhead squat is to midline control, stability, and balance what the clean and snatch are to power – unsurpassed.

Lew! shame on you!
I actualy like OH squats even though they are hard on the wrists. I have to admit I got a bit confused with the WOD and then taped up half way through when Carrie said we should be holding the weight overhead. So I did some squat cleans as punishment.
