OH Squat
115/135/155/170/180
Lost rep number 2 out the front of my 170 set, but hit that weight again and got all three. Had a hard time with the shoulder stabilization. Other than that the squats felt pretty easy. Something I need to hit more often.

45 * 50 * 55 * 60 * 65 * 70F
Need to work on getting lower in the squat, think butt to calves next time. Learned to dump weights instead of racking, saves energy.

A lot of form work today. Need to keep active shoulders throughout and get deeper.

Oops, that was supposed to be my post.
NO, Marissa didn't do this WOD twice. Although, I'd be a little scared if she could squat more than her body weight over her head.

75, 95, 105, 110, 115, 125 (1,F,1). Agree with Marissa, when setting before descending think butt to calves--push butt back. Set. Set. Set.

Had to drop 5# at the end to finish off. Need to work on this more. Need to keep feet straight and work on depth and stablizing

After I learned that dropping the weight instead of racking saves energy I was able to squat 70. Could have been a little lower on last set of squats.

Did this last week but am reposting for convenience when looking back
135#-155#-175#-200#-220# (pr)
I love this exercise as it tells you a story in terms of your core/midline stability. What isn't working in this movement? Ears maybe but that's about it. Expected to fail at bodyweight (200#) but was able to do more and set a pr. Never maxed out before so I'd be interested to see what my 1 rep max is...

I was not feeling a ton of energy for this WOD. I wasn't sure if it was the burpee KB WOD the day before or what. 95-115-135-165x1,165 re-rack, 165x3. It took me a bit to get really set before finishing the last BW set.

Comfort level is not quite there with this movement. Need to get rid of the mental block and just stick my butt out and lower the weight. Now that I'm better at double unders, this remains top priority because of my poor form movement.

These felt great. The 105 and 115 are both PRs. Best prior OHS lift was 95 x 1.

45, 50, 55, 60 , 65, 70
Need to remember active shoulders - once I did that I didn't feel like I was going to fall over. Also, Rudy's helpful hints about if it doesn't feel stable and I am shaky at the top, re-rack it and start over. Should feel stable from the start. Next time start heavier so not so tired when I get to the heavier weights. Maybe could have gone to 75#.

Thanks to Eric for helping me get my stance straight -foot position, etc. I am always open to suggestions on this and any other lifting WODs.
