Overhead Squats

Worked sets of 10 to 5 . Started at 65# to #90

Happy early birthday Loic! Birthday Burpees tomorrow!

Did some light lifting with shoulder presses and overhead squats. Practiced my double unders with my buddy Loic.

Been doing some lifting . . .

On a break from cardio till some health issues get figured out. Love heavy lifting anyhow, so it works to my advantage. Doing at least two different lifts every day. Some high points: OHS-3@100# and BS-1@195#.

Backsquats, quick and dirty.
115#, 135#, 155#, 165#, 175#, 185#, 195#. Depth on the last couple of sets was only 3/4. Practiced with 85# on back. First, going into full squat and staying in the squat for a bit. Second, doing box squats on 12" box. Fun and interesting. Have been wearing my flat DC shoes and that seems to help the balance over barefoot. Looking into weightlifting shoes. Love the heavy lifting!

A little heavy . . .

Tues. Jan 11th

Worked on push presses off my back and overhead squats. Did overheads starting at 65#, 10 reps. Progressed up in 5# increments till 85# and went back down again.

Wed. Jan 12th

Focused on front squats in reps of 5, then 3, then 1 once weight got heavy. Failed at 155#, but cleared 150 again. Then did overhead squat cycle again up to 90# (1 rep) and went down to 65# and did 5 sets of 10. Front squats are not my favorite, but truly love the overheads. Going to stay heavy until this throat stuff is better.

long time no post . . .

Hello again. Feel like I've been a naughty girl with my blog. Here's the skinny for the long absence. Christmas is my busy season at work then flowing in to lots of tedious duties for inventory in January. Trust me, I worked out the whole time with good intentions of posting, but here we are and we are starting fresh now. Some things that I am stoked about are a few PRs I set over the last month. Back squat at 185, front squat at 150 (was alone when I did that and feel confident that I can up it some more), and a very big smile on a 215 deadlift. Really want to improve my overhead squat. The issue for me lies not in the squat or balancing, its in thrusting it overhead with the wide hand set on the bar. Going to practice push presses wide set on my back. Going to set some 2011 goals this week and do my best to kick their asses.
