You idiots this overhead squat test is to assess specific problems that one may have with their body. If they lean forward, then they lack ankle mobility. If shoulders fall it could be tight lats.
yes bar way out front, so no he cant do any weight that way. terrible position actually. Looks like he's got the unfounded yet common fear of not letting knees go forward - as if toe nail length should determine degree if knee flexion :-). look at low back! he should turn toes out slightly, dorsi flex and more knee flexion with heels down, and keep neutral spine. then you'll measure a useful movement pattern and "core" strength.
also I don't understand the fail for lifting your heels...most lifting shoes have heels since the body wants to do that anyways. It's pretty tough if you're lifting a lot to not lift your heels off.
I am assuming that this is a screen and/or training maneuver rather than good example of form to which weight should be added. If this model is demonstrating "ideal" form, then I noticed 2 "energy leaks" (per Stu McGill) that will likely result in injury or poor performance here. At 0:56, lack of T-sp extension ability allows the bar to translate forward of the feet, at 0:58, the lumbar lordosis breaks, thus predisposing this athlete to disc injury. His functional squat range stops @ 0:55.

Does this take into account the height of the squatter?

Poor form, you can't hold the bar infront of your head in a overhead squat

In an OH squat the bar/weight should be over your midfoot, this guy has it way infront, makes no sense?
