Overhead on Tuesday

I would by lying if I said I didn't get some enjoyment out of watching people stare at us when we do CrossFit. Many heads were turned our direction on tuesday as we moved a bunch of weight around...over our heads. The overhead squat is a little practiced variation on the traditional squat, but instead of resting the weight on our shoulders, it is locked out overhead. This not only works the lower half of the body, but also dramatically strengthens the muscles that comprise the shoulder girdle. Coach Mark Rippetoe, or Rip, teaches the overhead squat in this video, check it out for some technique tips. Pictured above, Matt F. went off and OH squatted 199 pounds, nice work Matt!

Local allstar Rachel S. gets deep with 110# overhead, nbd. Is that a smile or a grimace?
