Overhead squats cruelly and indiscriminately expose strength and flexibility issues. The Sots press takes that badness, and adds another layer of difficulty to make things really interesting.

Using a 45 pound bar complete the following:
21, 15, 9 reps:
Turkish get up, alternating arms
Sots press
             
                                  TGU     Sots   
Eric- Rx  17:50
Alice Anne- 18:00       20         15
Todd McK- 18:17      20         35
Russell- Rx  18:31
Allie- 17:08                 20         20
Britt- 23:43                 25         45
Kathryn- 22:46           35         35
Casey- 21:36              45         35
Juan- Rx  23:43
Dave- 23:44                35        35
Candice- 17:02           25        25
Teresa- 17:07             25        25
Erin- 21:04                 35        45
Abby- 20:31              15        15
T- 18:20                    35         25

This was an interesting workout. Great job going as prescribed Eric, Juan, and Russell. You guys are tough. Monster Sots press Erin. That's really good fuel for everyone. Thanks.

There were a few keys to success with the TGU, chiefly active shoulders, secondarily proper angles going up and down, and as always a super tight core. Any problem with either and the TGU becomes even more difficult. Include a bar and we are cooking with gas.

Now you see why throwing in the Sots press every 5th OH squat in the warm up is so valuable. If you aren't already, every time there are OH squats in the warm up do 5 Sots presses every fifth rep. Another good way to be prepared for the Sots is to practice Pigs on skates. Next time we see the Sots in a workout it won't be as difficult.

The Sots press is an OH squat on steroids, and it will smash you if you let it.
