Core strength is the level by which you keep the mid-line stabilized. There are few movements that rival  the OHS for core development. It also allows us to test shoulder flexibility,  your ability to handle load overhead and communicate the differences between an “active€ and “passive€ shoulder and how they both affect performance.

“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 is to midline control, stability, and balance what the clean and snatch are to power€“ unsurpassed.€
