A Big Improvement
July 29, 2008
It is always great to see everyone making huge improvements in challenging exercises, and not many exercises are more challenging than the overhead squat. It takes practice, determination, focus, and a strong core to start hitting good overhead squats. Tonight we saw tremendous improvements from last week’s OHS workout. Many people were able to use rx’d weight overhead for the first time and everyone else used more weight than last week! Not everyone was thrilled about that…right Heidi? But, like I asked her WWJD? (What would Jason do?)
Overhead squats alone are hard, in conjunction with burpees they are killer. Niki wanted to give a shout out to MJ, Jen S., Kelly C., Terry, Heidi, Elaina, Meg, Kari, and Angie…basically all of the women that did it. It is remarkable how well all of the women do OHS, pound for pound the women are definitely much stronger then us with an XY. Most exercises and sports that require focus and coordination tend to be dominated by women. Go ladies!
Two sweet PRs today. Both Toph and Thor couldn’t hit the WOD on the board, so Toph did “Murphy” and set a great PR of 39:55. Thor came in and did “Diane” and improved his standing on the Leader Board to 5:42, great job fellas! Nice to have a CrossFitter from out of town stop by. Colin who is a Coach at CrossFit Buffalo stopped in while in town for Business. He also hit a super PR on “Murphy” with 46:13!
