I was reminded of just how difficult the overhead squat is when it was mentioned that it is used by clinicians as a test of flexibility. CrossFit incorporates this monster move in its workouts for a reason. Can you guess why?

Great session everyone. Good overhead work that hit the cues we talked about. Another great session for the Madman. We had a bunch of people that were introduced to the overhead squat for the first time, and it went well for the most part. The ovehead squat exposes many issues that can be problematic; low flexibility levels in the hips and shoulder girdle among the biggest problems.
Thursday is a rest day, not an off day. Hit the mobility blog, get some nice long stretching in for your entire body, and ask someone for a massage. Anything that feels good and helps you recover. Thanks for the great efforts and good times. Standby for Friday.
