Balancing our squats
Overhead squats are a tricky beast. They ask a lot of our mobility and ability to stabilize. Our complex today will help us find our path slowly before trying it at “snatch speed” and then give us one more chance to refine out squat path before finishing. There’s a lot to learn from this complex, so find a weight that helps you feel when you are off balance and unstable, but not one so heavy that you go into panic mode.
STR:
overhead squat + snatch balance + overhead squat
WOD:
AMRAP 8
5 Power snatch (heavy enough to be singles)
8 Pull ups
SCHEDULE UPDATE:
We will be closed Saturday and Sunday 6/13-6/14 while a few coaches take a USAW training, so we can make y’all even better weightlifters.
STR: 145#
Probably could have had more, I was just starting to figure out how to get the load through my wrists properly.
WOD: 4+1 Rx (115#)
Snatches had me gassed, failed a few on the later rounds. MARK had better post his score because damn, he slayed that.
Also the warmup was entertaining: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFP4C0PQ4jU
Not able to do strength.
WOD: 5 + 4 rounds (high hang snatch & 1 round Rx pull ups/rest ring rows)
Strength: 155#
WOD: 4+6 RX (125#)
I cannot tell you how crazy it is that only a few weeks ago I got my first pull up.
YES. Every yes.
Yessssssss!!!!!
