Strength WoD: "Well Balanced"

For Load:

Overhead Squat

5 - 5 - 5 - 5 - 5

.

Accessory / Finisher:

Accumulate 2 Minutes of an Overhead Barbell Hold @80% your 1RM Strict Press

(4 min cap).

.

  • The Overhead Squat is quite possibly the most telling of all weightlifting & strength movements as it requires not only strength, but flexibility, balance coordination, power, stability to name but a few. Basically everything in you is required to lift this well.
  • We will go off of racks. Start out VERY light (this goes for everybody) & see if you can build from there. If it isn't safe then we will stay at very light loads (PVC pipe maybe) & dial in that technique until it is there.
  • Be relentless in the pursuit of virtuous form.
  • The accessory at the end is to help build a stable base in our overhead position. Use 80% of your 1RM strict press (no more than this). Get the bar up anyhow. Once up there keep it directly over your head, squeeze your everything & lock down the ribs.
  • The idea is to accumulate the 2 mins in as few sets as possible in the 4 min cap. Going forward you are NOT allowed to add weight until you can do the 2 mins unbroken.
  • Anyone in a compromising position overhead will be brought down to a more appropriate load.
  • Compare this to 18/05/17 (last week). If you did this before you cannot add weight unless you completed the 2 mins unbroken.
  • Hold the standards. Form is priority as always.
  • Scale As needed.
