Weight Temptation

I was going to post a clever Hop-Frog reference today, but at the last moment I decided I should actually say something directly relevant to CrossFit.  Which is to imply (somehow) that a knowledge of classic literature will get you a better Fran time.  It will… promise… read more books and you’ll be able to dead lift more.

Anyway, about the overhead squat and its horrible viciousness.  Unless you’re one of the 20% of folks who start with good flexibility upon entering CrossFit, you’re going to find this lift excruciatingly difficult.  Breathe deeply (taking a cue from my own Kung Fu post) and accept it.  Use the PVC (yes – during a WOD) or a light weight.  Here’s the rule:

Let us all (coaches and athletes both) remain humble before the deadly and uncompromising might of the overhead squat.  Read my more generalized re-statement of this rule here.
