Overhead Squat 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

Post loads to comments.

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.

BW: 170
95/115/135/155/160/165/170

Jogged 1 mile. My left leg and knee is still stiff from Wed so I went slow. I didn't time myself.

Next week it's back to WOD's again!!

95/105/115/125/135/135/135

135 felt pretty good and probably could've gone heavier, but didn't have bumper plates and was worried about dumping the weight in case of a failure.
