I've been training overhead squats with CrossFit to try to get to the all-hallowed bodyweight x 15 benchmark.

  • Why do CrossFit fanboys always post mediocre weight videos. Keep drinking that kool aid.

  • @oj0929 I'm a girl, you moron.

  • "try to get to the all-hallowed bodyweight x 15" you must mean x 1.5 because noone can do x15 their own bodyweight!!!

  • @klarum No, you misunderstood. It's bodyweight for 15 reps. Lifters tend to use "x" to denote the rep scheme.

  • you weigh 85lb?

    the thing I don't like about CF is that it insists on doing high rep Oly lifts which doesn't make any damn since. Oly lifters rarely go above a few reps for their power works, maybe they'll go high rep (like 8) on back squats but thats it. And each set is done well rested. Doing something like 100 C&Js for time doesn't make sense to improve your oly lifts, maybe ok as a cardio workout. and Doing OH sqts while tired and timed is just dangerous.

  • @whosthatafghan More stability, shoulder, and core involved; much harder to cheat the form.

  • your arm looked like it was about to snap 

  • niiiice, impressively good form I believe. Myself I have problems with too "sloppy" or I simply do it wrong, because my ass goes back on the way up which makes it harder for my back (Normal squats).

  • how does an overhead squat differ from normal back squats, in terms of benefiiting muscle groups and training?

  • @klarum GOKU CAN

  • @ems13lrc oh :p on another note I was embarassed to try these with just the bar and failed! I squat 350 pounds, guess my coordination/flexibility sucks :p
