The ladies of Albany CrossFit were incredible tonight. Angie and MJ's overhead squats were an absolute thing of beauty. From the tight core, to shrugged shoulders, to the amazing depth, these squats were like a piece of art. Heads were turning to see them.
The overhead squat is such an important movement. It is a full body and full mind exercise. If you are not keeping every part of your body engaged and 100% of your mind focused you will lose it. Like we learned it will magnify any imperfection you have in your air squat, is your body upright, is your weight over your heels, are your hips firing? Maybe that's why the women are so good at them, they are better multi-taskers?
The men were great as well, a little bit frustrated, but great nonetheless. Used to throwing around heavy things, some of the men had to leave their ego at the door and work on form and technique. That is good, because without it, we will never hit the heavy weights we know you are capable of.
The pullup challenge is going great. How are everyone's hands holding up? We saw a lot of rips already, make sure to take care of them, trim, pumice, lotion. Anyone sore? Quite a few athletes said they were having a hard time extending their arms! Keep at it! Marine Mike, Shye, and Lenora are all nearing 300!
