''Overhead Squats 5-3-1+ and G.I.Jane'' (01.07.2011)

Just over two months ago Mikey C. came into CFNH hoping our crew might be able to help prepare him for U.S. Marine Corps Officer Candidate School. It wasn't long before we noticed Mike's unwavering desire to excel, evident in the way he would throw himself, without reservation, at everything we asked him to do.
This kind of mental perseverance allowed Mike to endure (and eventually thrive) in the face of CrossFit's rigorous physical training tasks and the mental distress they are often accompanied by. Eight weeks later and we find ourselves saying goodbye to an Officer Candidate who's achieved a level of fitness and capacity for performance rarely found among those arriving at OCS.
Mike, the time for anticipation is finally over. It's been our privilege to see you forge yourself into a fire-breather here at CFNH... and just think, you've barely scratched the surface of your potential. We'll be eagerly awaiting your homecoming visit in a few months...
After you're born again hard, of course. Get Some.

P.S. Say hi to Hoostie for us.

On the last set the '+' means athletes may attempt to exceed the prescribed number of repetitions if possible.

Overhead Squats (last week's)
135x3
155x3
175x3

The combination of pure hypoxia and seeing so many of our athlete's eviscerate Overhead Squat rep records and 1RM's has either killed 50% of my brain cells or I'm just in a state of euphoric awe. Or both.

Slawra ripped out her first deadhang pull-up today, siiiiiick.

Kevin TomaTo killed his 1-rep record for Overhead Squats by 70lbs. Yeah, that's pretty much like OH Squatting his old 1RM with a ''princess bitch'' hitchhiker balanced precariously on top for the added encumbrance.
