Overhead Squat 1RM

followed by,

As many rounds in 12 minutes of:
10 Renegade Rows, 50#/35#
10 Box Jumps, 24 inch box

Click here to view demo. For each rep to count, the dumbbell must touch your body while both shoulders remains square/parallel to the ground. The rep will not count if the chest faces to the side, perpendicular to the ground.

Post overhead squat weight and rounds completed to comments.









Notice that the shoulders are parallel to the ground during the pull of the dumbbell. This constitutes a correct rep.

  2. Did 113# on 1 RM OS which is a PR for me by 6#'s.

    Did 12 rounds Rx'd on the metcon. Box jumps were much better as I wasn't taking that extra step in between each jump. Still need to work on being faster with these.

    Great job 6 a.m. crew! Lots of PR's today which is terrific!!

  4. Another fun day! 176 OHS (PR), 11 rds.

    Great work, 6am, and congrats to everyone on the new PRs!

  6. Great Job 6AM and congratulations on the new PR's.

    132 (PR, finally blues on the bar)
    8 rounds switched dumbbells starting at 2rd @35, 3@40 and 3@45 for 8 total.

  8. Everyone had a PR that I worked with today. That makes it even more fun. Honestly I didn't feel that great this morning. I had trouble with the first couple sets (like the ones with just the bar). We kept stacking the weight on and it seem to get easier. (It helped watching the exceptionally superior technique of BC and Paul)
    Nice PR's guys!

    186 = PR.

    13 rounds on the metcon.

  10. After yesterday(I did Sunday's WOD), I wondered if I would even get to my previous 1RM. I did, even got a 6lb. PR. Little trouble getting low enough, short legs means I have to almost sit on the ground.

    Box jumps continue to slow me down in metcons, so I was only able to complete 4 rounds today. too much standing there looking at the box and not jumping I guess.

  12. 169# on OH squats. New PR for me. Thanks for working with me Andrew! Lots of good lifting in the 6AM crew. 8 rnds of the metcon using 45# DBs. Trying to keep your body straight during those was rough!
  13. Chad Says:
  14. 184#pr on ohs and 6 rounds on the metcon (4 jumps away from 7).
  15. Jess Says:
  16. 82# for OHS PR (previous was 73#) so I am very pleased

    Metcon: 8 rounds using 15#, that was a tough metcon

    Great job 6am peeps ;u)

  18. 257# for OHS which is a 5# PR. Couldn't quite stand all the way up with 262. My goal for next time.

    13 rounds + 4 rows for the metcon. Used 2 1.5 pood KBs for the rows and did step ups instead of box jumps.

  20. Well I maintained my OHS PR from last time and got 87# again, attempted twice for 92# but got stuck at bottom of squat and couldn't push up - NEXT TIME IT WILL BE MINE! hahaa :)

    Metcon - 10 rounds - s'd - used 25# dbs, jumps used 4 red bumpers, 1 blue, and 1 green to make it 24" (or as I saw it appeared same height as the 24" boxes so I hope I was close!)

    Today was a good time, good working with ya gals Tara and Ashley!!!

    Ran 3.5 miles outside on Keystone trail today after class with Jake - I'm loving this November weather! Flippy floppys year round!!

  24. 73# for OHS which is a 5# PR. I really thought I'd be able to get more b/c 68# felt really good; tried to jump right to 77 but failed 3x and after a couple tries got 73. Had problems just getting it overhead so will focus on fixing that next time.

    7 rounds for metcon; 20in box, 20# dbs. Great job 6am!!
  25. BC Says:
  26. 147# OHS, PR (5#). Failed twice @ 154#, just couldn't get it locked out overhead, which may or may not be related to the Bataan Death March I made up yesterday. But a PR is a PR so I'm happy, and it was great working with Paul and Eric.

    6 rounds on the metcon. Rows were rx'd @ 50# DB's but I stacked 3 reds on a 24" box for the jumps, which made it about waist height (roughly 36" or so). I did this as a part of my new quest to develop a body that at least somewhat resembles that of an adult male.

    Great work 6am, as usual.

  28. tried for 198 several times, but no joy. made 184 pretty easily though. I was talking a lot about my previous 1rm of 215, but i'm a fat liar. I looked back and found that i've attempted 215 before, but never made it. I have done 205 before though.

    9 rounds on the metcon, but my form was pretty shitty on the last few rounds of RRs.
  29. Crystal Says:
  30. great job on all the PR's today. everyone is improving by leaps and bounds.

    OHS 104#. 12# PR for me. I am really happy about this. had time to 109. got it up with trouble locking it out. then lost it in the squat. darn. next time.

    9 rounds on metcon. rows got tough, but this was a fun one.
  31. B3nj4m1n Says:
  32. 175 on OH squat I tried 198 and could not get it up and ran out of time so I could not attempt a second...uh...attempt. 13.5 rounds on the metcon, renegade rows are tough. Great job 4:30.

  38. 225# on OHS today, 17# PR!! I am glad I am improving in my strength because it seems like my metcons are getting worse.

    Only got 11 rounds today. The rows were tough but the box jumps were killing my arches in my feet by the 5th round. So I did them fairly slowly. Going to start working on strengthening my feet like Ricky said so hopefully they won't limit me soon. Then I'll have to find a new excuse :)
  39. Addi Says:
  40. 154# OHS - 12 lb. PR! Really happy with this, as last time I couldn't get 147# even close to locked out overhead. I took bigger and fewer jumps than in the book, because of the timer and Slow Steve. (kidding?) 154 was shaky, but I'm learning to out-stubborn gravity.

    12 rounds rx'd. Liked this metcon a LOT - never done renegade rows before. I toyed with the idea of going heavier than rx'd until I actually tried them. 35# was plenty, thank you very much. Box jumps could have been faster - had trouble maintaining my rhythm.

    Great job 5:30!

  42. got a new PR on OHS...my enemy!! 97# My old PR was 90 which I dont understand because it is nearly impossible to get to 90 with the girl bar. Didnt do metcon because I did some early training with Ricky. Watch out a muscle up is soon to come :) Also my air squat are going to be a thing of beauty...stupid ankles!!

Thanks For Visiting!
