Sticktoittiveness…

I have been trying to get this for months now and finally got it yesterday! Although i haven’t overhead squated much in the last couple months this felt much easier than last time i tried it. It goes to show that progress takes time but all you have to do is stick to it. Something good is happening cause i snatched 93 kg (205 lbs) and pulled 95.5 kg (210 lbs) pretty easily but couldn’t receive it.
I have been lifting alot as well as hitting shorter metcons and feel good!

People keep asking me what i think the games are going to be…
Here is my answer:
I don’t really care. I train myself with what i think of as the best way to achieve fitness. If that isn’t going to allow me to be competitive then maybe our views of fitness are different or they have shot a huge hole in my game and i will have to adjust my definition. I may have to sacrifice some domains to excel in others but that is totally fine with me.
Bottom line is i don’t care what the test is, all i can do is be as ready as i can in my mind. I am getting close!!

Congrats man! Since I’m weighing in at 175 this is a goal of mine also, 15 bodyweight overhead squats. Time to step my game up.

Dutch, that is damn nice work. Thanks for the email as well, I’m going to try and implement the nutrition with my client starting today. I also liked your take on your training to become fit and not training to what you think might be at the Games. Keep up the good work.

damn, thats awesome! What’s the secret to not having your “butt wink” at the bottom of the squat? PNF?

Thanks everyone!!

Ryan,
Please reference the title for the answer to your question…
PNF helps and so does squatting. Find your weakness and address…. Flexibility?
