With the crawl, walk, run model CrossFit presents, mastery of the airsquat is required before any real attempts at overhead squatting take place. Lack of flexibility, strength, and the confidence to get under, and get low are all contributory factors. Great airsquats lead to good overhead squats.

Great squats everyone. If you were locking down the airsquat instead of going overhead, be patient and do your homework. Tight hams? Good luck keeping hips where they need to be while you're in the hole. Sticky shoulders? Maintaining an active overhead position will be even more difficult than it already is. Everything counts. A little bit every day, and hit the wall periodically. You have to work for it. Quality over quantity.

We had a bunch of new people and visitors drop by CFSF. Drink the kool-aid. Come back.

Thanks for another great day at CFSF.

Don't wish it was easier. Wish you were better.
