Rest Day
An all important question. For starters, we last overhead squatted a couple of weeks ago and before that it was much longer yet today, we had many who set personal records, including myself. I would like to have, in one place, all that bested their previous personal record for overhead squat and by how much (whether by one pound or 30).
In the comments section, if you read the blog, even if you've never posted before (don't know why you wouldn't), please consider posting your new OH Squat record this one time. Let us all know how awesome you did. This goes for pull ups too as I do know that Hira Ahmad got her first strict pull up today.
Congrats to you all. It truly was a kick ass day.
Cool ass peeps. Tara's the bestest and Tessa, we'll miss you tons. We wish you the best in Charleston.

If you haven't already done so, please pick up your CFO performance shirt. It's in the gym waiting for you. We don't want you to miss wearing it for the Dash.
Speaking of - he scored a PR and body weight match at 164.
Great workout Bryan and 6am crew!
as for performance shirts, many of us are planning to wear them after we complete the race since it will be a muddy one. It's a great fresh shirt to change into and show off CFO logo!
Also, it will be a great shirt to wear during other Omaha events, corporate cup, runs, bikes, whatevs...soooo GET ONE! AND FOR ONLY $4 LAWLORS WILL ADD A NAME/NICKNAME TO THE BACK!
Have a great rest day everyone!
However, today I completed my first handstand push-up!! I'm happy with this milestone. Thanks Amanda for your help and as always great coaching.
These PRs are unbelievable! It's a strong testament both to the programming and to the hard work people have been putting in. Congrats, everyone! Stabilized midlines like what.
P.S. Tara, I didn't see you squat yesterday, but I'd be shocked if you didn't have 154# in you, based on what you were doing in strength class a few months ago. Sandbagger. :)
Congrats on all PR's!
I definitely PR'd at 125# and I felt I could've done 132 if I had one more set. The last OHS I have recorded was the 5's for 109# and before that it had been a long while and definitely much lighter. Loving the heavy OHS's!!
and I agree with addi about tara, you were a bad ass at OH during strength class...you don't give yourself enough credit, go for it!
so great to see everyone posting! make it a daily habbit!
In addition to being generally not strong, I've always had trouble with OHS. I tried wrist wraps for the first time (thanks Ricky for helping me get them on), and it helped so much. i felt like my puny wrists were not going to snap. So I did 53 lbs, which is a PR for me, no joke. Thanks to Jimmy & Ricky for great coaching, and to my partners Crystal & Angie for encouragement & tips. Love the 6:30 peeps - there is always positive energy at CFO but yesterday had a great vibe...must have been all those PRs throughout the day.
Worked on gymnastics with Megan, Amanda, and Shelley. Bar pullovers and muscleups, ring muscleups. Then some toes to bar and pushups. And, of course, party tricks. Good times.
The PR mojo transferred to the rings today - new PR for consecutive kipping muscleups= 7. They felt really good today. I think I had one or two more in me, but the bladder was feeling weak, and there were several people in the "splash zone." Haha. You're welcome, friends. The sacrifices I make for your hygiene. Would love to get to 10 next time.
No PR for me (146# is my PR) though 141# felt great. From a confidence standpoint, I have no doubt I have over 150# in me and should have done an extra set. Yesterday I felt solid/stable and that's not normally the case on heavier OHS.
8 strict pullups unbroken matches my PR which is what I did in the first set yesterday.
Worked muscleups at noon today. My confidence is a lot higher with these even though I've yet to get one. I feel like it's right there for me (just need to unleash the beast) :)
Thanks for tips from others today!
Apparently they're charging $20 per car for parking. If some of you want to carpool from my house (near 156th and Harrison), we plan to meet at 8:30 for those on a 10:00 start. I've got room for 5 people and plan on sticking around awhile afterwards.
if others would still like to meet up there and caravan out, let us know!
looking forward to warrior dash festivities!
And congrats to all the other PR's!
LOVE the CFO Community and I'll do my best to contribute a bit more!
GREAT JOB EVERYONE! Pretty awesome.
Did this with Andrew, Dan, and Lauren. Great job you guys!! Couldn't have made it through with out you all!
Thanks Andrew for the recovery run/walk idea. Need to do that more often.
It is so nice to see all the posts. Let's keep it up!!!
Again a huge congrats on the PR's!!!!
