Damn son!

A recent comment from Crandall:

""Jason, I think you got nine here, that is very good. Just keep your core tight and get your shoulders up in your ears and you will be able to get to 15 BW OHS. It took me over a year of training to get there, but now it is easy. I have faith in you!! Be SAFE and ROCK OUT!!!""


Crandall finds 15 reps in the Overhead Squat easy.

When Crandall posts a video of himself doing this, he will begin co-hosting this show with me; It'll be like a he-said/she-said thing. I can see it now:

Jason: "Now, about core training... I prefer heavy deadlifts, supplemented with the occasional V Up."
Crandall: "Crandall likes to ROCK it! with sit ups. You know that Crandall speaks the truth Jason, even if your russian ears are full of wax."

Fucking rich.

Another claim

I haven't been focusing on this as such, and hence why I forgot it, but I definitely am pretty passionate about completing 15 reps at or above bodyweight in the overhead squat.

see you soon Nicole!
(presuming that I could afford a return to a lvl 1, had time and could get into one before 2010)

Crossfit Overhead Squat Benchmark

Still making good progress in my OHS, but not at quite the same pace!

Tested my max at 135lbs, got ten reps. I think I can bump this to about 16-18 in 2 weeks. We'll see.

When I retest, I'll have to shoot another video!

Overhead Squat for max reps

Still at it! Here's a retest from 4-29-2008 going for maximum reps with a 115lb load overhead

this is what we looked like after our first test, almost six weeks ago;
