lizzig Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 I am not the most flexible person, which is something I am slowly working on. My front squat, and back squat are pretty decent. I can lift atleast 85 lbs for both. But my overhead squat so far has been embarrasing enough which just a 15 lb weight bar alone. When I first did an overhead squat, my legs never went past parallel. Last night while doing my overhead squats, not only did my legs go past parallel but I was able to put up 45 lbs. Not the biggest milestone I've had, but a pretty important one to me.

sydneyanaconda Posted September 4, 2013 Report Share Posted September 4, 2013 That is truly awesome. OH squats are really technical. I had to do a workout (10x oh squat) with the small 10kg bar on Monday. I felt so puny! Keep at it! Quote Link to comment

bigm141414 Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 Nice work! overhead squats, like Jo said, are brutal. They are one of the best tests for overall strength, mobility, and stability. Well done! Quote "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment
