Figured out the overhead squats

I feel pretty silly.  I had read the tempo for the OH squats (30x0) as 30s down.  I knew it sounded odd, but couldn't figure it out otherwise.  Of course, it's really 3s down, no pause, explosive up, no pause before next rep.  Duh!!  That's what I did this morning.  This time I used a wooden broomstick.  It is better than the wimpy hollow metal one, but I still don't trust it a lot.  I'll be glad when I'm up to 45# so I can use the Oly bar!

I hit the limit of my dumbbell handles today.  45# is all they can do without making changes.  I'm thinking of hanging weights on them or trying the Oly weights on them.  Not sure how that will work.

I pulled something in my right adductor during the lunges.  I rolled it and it's feeling a bit better.  I'm sure it will be gone soon.
