Overhead Squat Basics - video [wmv] [mov]
Posted by lauren at May 1, 2007 7:36 PM
OK I was wishing and hoping for a run, but this will work....I think! Actually, given the condition of my shoulders right now, I may save this one for another time. Right now, my upper body is crying!
Can't get the vid to play. Advice?
Is it just me, or can you only view the video as a .mov file?
that is probably a training violation... forms 10 will be issued
#3 Im only getting it in .mov as well
#4 Whatever man. We all know that AF is the best!
Notice how their feet are leaning against the wall...weak.
GO ARMY!
As a USNA graduate I gotta second Erich.
Damn desk jockeys (all in good fun of course).
Requesting a .wmv video, as my computer is too slow to play quicktime files. Thanks.
Sebastian
The video was done with quicktime 7 using a codec h.264. Can't figure out how to play it with out getting a new version of quicktime.
I think the video name is just a typo. If you type the path into the browser but replace .mov with .wmv it will play.
Or, you could cut and paste:

Marine Corps! YUT!
Judging by some of yesterday's comments I'm not the only one who has found the recent rate of pull ups hard on the hands. I've developped some blisters and broken off several calusses and don't like how it makes it look like I'm actually working for a living (I am an officer after all.)
Does anyone have any tips for toughening up the hands so I won't blister up or maybe a way to grio the bar so there is less friction? Thanks
KCN
Way to go Howard. I should learn about these computers some day!
Looks like there is still some residual animosity from our domination of the CinC's trophy all those years!
Keep living hard zoomies...
CS-03 2003
KCN,
Try using some super light grade sand paper on your callouses before they get too thick and rip off. Haven't done it in a while but it used to help a bit. Kind of stinks cause your hands are more sensitive after that, but that's all I've got
KCN
you could always do what M. Alou does each spring during baseball season to toughen up his hands... pee on them
KCN there isn't much you can do if you are brand new to the game here but if you have raggety calluses you need to sand them down so they don't tear off during chins. There probably isn't a specific grip to use but after your hands toughen up over a longer period of time they won't hurt as much during or after your workouts.
KCN
Bring a bottle of urine to the gym and dump it on your hands before your workout like Ben said. It works wonders.
Seriously, you 'don't like how it makes it look like'? Calluses and blisters are cool, man! And actually, that's how you toughen up your hands - by developing calluses.
Watch the WOD demo video from 4/27/07. About halfway through, one of the "crazy *****es" shows off her bloody, blistered hands. She quickly tapes it up and finishes the workout... If that won't help "toughen" you up, I don't know what will...
Navy Sucks! Go Coast Guard! Before you spout back, you know why the Navy has guns on both the bow and stern, and the CG only on the bow?? CG doesn't run from it's battles! Just jokin, love all the branches, but without the CG who would save everyone?
Push presses, hmmm, I have to get my arms above my head first. After the last week, that is the tough part...
Between boats and the sky...glad I chose to fly. =)
Good video, I'm heading into town to buy a piece of PVC just to practice this. What is a good diameter and length?
#13--
I dislocated my left thumb about three weeks ago in a wrestling match getting chucked over the top rope. Mix that with tendonitis in my right elbow, you can imagine how crummy my grip is. I stopped getting such hardcore callouses after starting to use lifting straps on my pullups (I have no more grip in my left hand... still have limited range of motion in my thumb). They also help with things like snatches. Mix them with lifting gloves and you should be ok.
And complaining about callouses is not wussing out. They effing hurt and make things like walking your dog, washing the dishes, and chopping someone's chest into oblivion really really painful when they've ripped off.
First order of business... GO NAVY BEAT AIR FORCE!
Freaking ZOOOOMIIIESSSSS. don't worry, I am biased for a reason...USNA class 2010
KCN--
Goto the MESSAGE BOARD and search for "torn callouses". You'll find all the help you need. I recommend buying a cuticle trimmer and just snipping off the excess skin. Keep the callouses as flat as possible. Just be careful not to take off too much or your hands will be tender. Use 30min salt water soaks to speed up the healing on tears. Keep your hands moisturized during recovery and, if you can, use a little chalk to prevent your bare hands from sticking to the metal bar which causes the deep tears.
Best,
Wilson
How much weight do we use for this??

I got respect for all services. I am an AF Reservist, so I must be biased towards the Air Force. I don't care how good you are with a M-16...a bomb will trump you any day.
True story.
KCN,
I use Bert's Bees Hand Salve on my hands after I workout. I keep some pretty rockin' calluses on my hands but the hand salve keeps them from getting too hard, developing blisters, and tearing off. Even after all the pullups of the last week or two I haven't had any problems.
Occasionally I'll also take a file to the calluses to keep them from getting out of line. Basically you'll just put your hands in water until they're all pruned over, then take a file to the calluses.
Instructions here: http://beastskills.com/calluses.htm.
Some folks might still get confused and think you work for a living, but at least they won't think you work as hard as the rest of us.
Go NAVY!
BTW, any CrossFitters in Bahrain or on KAAOT, drop me a line. Thanks.
7 sets of 3 reps...how do I determine what weight to use with this WOD? Thanks for any info!
hey will--
personally, i try to start with a relatively light weight, and work up to my previous PR by the sixth set, with an eye to getting a new PR on the 7th. other people, i believe, warm up, and then do what they can just handle for three reps across all seven sets.
The sad thing is you know these cadets are the ones who love math and Enger. Mech. and CQ on saturday's to skip out of football games....sweet super tight under armour shirt though...keeping the T-ZO gap alive...Foz how is the civilian world man?

toughen hands by rubbing a mixture of rubbing alcohol and talc on after a workout until they're dry. soaking your hands with salve, etc, is kind of counter-productive, 'cause it softens them back up. cutting down calluses when they start to get flaps works, too, but you don't want to take too much off lest you have to start the whole process over.
go army, beat air force.
#36 - totally, since today's is a maximal strength day. Having said that, yesterday's workout was shoulder heavy so either do today's workout then yesterday's in that order, or do today's and another workout that less involves the shoulders.
If ever these kind of workouts come up, I nearly always do some 400m intervals or something similar afterwards. It's a golden opportunity, because you usually still have energy left.

How much of your legs is legal to use on the Pushpress?
I heard a good one yesterday. A guy I work with asked his wife's personal trainer if he had heard of crossfit. He said yes, that's the work out all the firefighters use because they don't have time for a full workout. Made me laugh. Of course the wife has already started crossfit so we'll see how long the trainer lasts.
Poor saps. I went to college and I can't imagine trading that for any service academy. I had beer and a girlfriend and could wear sweats to class when it was early (like 10). You can keep the CinC's trophy. Semper.

If you are a Coast Guard Diver, you are qualed to your waist on Air and to your Sshoulders on Mixed gas. j/k Actually, it's 130' for both for you guys. But that's ok when you're a knee deep sailor.

DJ,
Nice dig, and I expected it! I've got more rounds to fire, but they wouldn't be welcomed here! I will tell you I have a CG buddy that just got back from the Gulf after a long deployment in a NAVAL Unit. Good to have him and his unit back.
All the best to ALL branches, we all fight together. Semper P!

This was my first time doing these, so I started off too heavy. I was able to do it but felt I was sacrificing form and just muscling it up. Dropped the weight to get form down and worked my way up. Could not crank out the 3rd at 205.
The little spot in my back started telling me during the warmup that its not ready for push-press yet so...

Pull-ups (used 25kg assist on the assisted pull-up machine – sets broken)
15:30
Too tired even to do my stretches after this!
172#/6'0"/m/34
First time I've done this one - and I learned something:
Starting from a hang clean is considerably more difficult than starting from a full clean!
I thought I was making everything easier for myself my starting with the barbell on a waist-high plyo box, then hang-cleaning to my chest. I eventually realized that getting the hang cleans up was more difficult than the push presses themselves! From (2) on I did full cleans and found everything WAY easier. Next time I going to get 70kg.

probably could have set a new PR today had I done this before the HSC/pull-up WOD, but I just wanted to get that one over with.
Got introuble at my gym again today. This time it was for using the light bars for aerobics classes to do the Burgener WU, after they threw out the broomstick I had been using. Then 5 min later I got introuble for wearing my CrossFit shirt at the gym. My gym hates crossfit.

Probably could have gone a little heavier throughout, but I wanted to concentrate on perfect form. Plus I had no spotter =(
I enjoyed this workout and I"m looking forward to improving and putting up the kind of numbers the rest of you are!
I killed it today! I am starting to notice my endurance is getting better. I am resting much less too.

100 is a PR for 1RM, let alone 3RM...tried for 105 but my heart/arms weren't in it. My 1RM for jerk is currently 100 also, which tells me that with technique it could be higher too.

Can anybody inform me what to do to up grade a discharge from 1974 when I went in to lose weight because of complacation from removal of cartlege and the dislocationing of the HIP when I pivot and turn and the replacement of the LateralLigament to the Bone with MONKEY GUTs that at times the right side collaspses and I fall to the Ground I went in a 4/F (25)yrs old 250 pds when in Boot Camp I volenteered to be the Laundry Prv and was out of the LEAVE PASS instructions
