Overhead squats were on the menu today. I went up 5 pounds, but could make the 45# Oly bar. I could get the bar up, no problem. But, I was too wobbly to actually squat. I've heard people swoon over the difficulty of overhead squats and I know why. It's so much more than pure strength, it's also stability. In a big way.
I think I need to add a warm-up set for the barbell lunges. I felt like my body wasn't ready for the movement and it wanted to know how to move before loading 75# on my back!
