Mobility Training - 1RM OHS

We did a 1RM overhead squat on Monday this week.  While I've gotten stronger since I did this for the first time quite awhile ago, I went from 115# to 165#.  I have to give most of the credit for this to increasing my mobility.  For more information on mobility training, check out Kelly Starret's blog at MobilityWOD...

I also have a blog post on mobility on the Crossfit Troy website if you'd like to check it out.

WOD - Mon - 100719

WOD: Nancy

400m Run
15 OHS Men 95lbs. Women 65 lbs.
5 Rounds

24:57


MOD:
Used 75lb for the OHS. Wanted to focus on speed, technique and going unbroken on the OHS in this workout.


NOTES:
While my run is still really slow, I only broke the fourth set of the OHS. Came back and did the fifth set unbroken. Yea! But that also tells me I should have been able to do the fourth set unbroken. Regardless, a big boost in confidence in being able to do these faster. (By 'unbroken', that's not to say I didn't pause at the top of a rep to get a couple breaths, it means I didn't drop the bar in that particular set.)
