Overhead Squat
Instead of doing the Crossfit mainpage WOD of 7 sets of 3 reps Overhead Squats (OHS), I decided to try and figure out what my max was. My brother, cousin and I are going to have a contest to see who can Overhead Squat their bodyweight first. We are going to have some kind of a prize for the winner and some type of dunce cap prize for the loser. Still figuring out the details of the contest.
Warmup row 5 minutes
OHS:
45# x 5
65# x 5
85# x 3
95# x 2
105# x 1
115# x 1
125# x 1
135# failed on first attempt to even get the weight over my head...just wasn't concentrating enough and didn't get under the bar and lock out my arms.
135# failed on the second attempt at the bottom of the squat
135# x 1 (New PR!) I was able to grind it out...I didn't even try 140#, because that was tough!
I am now 37lbs away from my medium term goal of OHS'ing my bodyweight! My longterm goal is to OHS my bodyweight 15 times.
