Overhead squats, much like Thrusters, are polarizing. Loved, or hated, but NEVER ignored. Five sets of five reps meant we were on the lookout for snipe. Nice start to the cycle. Thanks CFHQ!

Great squats everyone. Nice job Matt, Tommy, and Teresa- heavy. Not only do Overhead squats indiscriminately expose strength and flexibility issues, but they're also very difficult for strong, flexible people. For these reasons the Overhead squat is seldom seen in any globo gyms.

Core contribution to the Overhead squat is unrivaled. Nothing else we do is as taxing to our core musculature than the OHS. A true pillar test. Considering most have never performed an OHS prior to starting CrossFit, you've all come a long way. Good job, and THANKS for that hard work.

If you are having difficulty with the OHS, check in with John, or Teresa. They can show you an excellent fix that targets our entire pillar that you can begin working on.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

It is what it is.
