I did one rep worse on this workout than I did during the CrossFit Open last year (that seems to be a trend this week), and my shoulder is absolutely killing me. For whatever reason (bad form, lack of mobility, etc), overhead squats are extremely painful. I think I'm going to begin a long process of incorporating them into my warmups, and slowly building up strength. However, I am going to do my best to avoid them during my conditioning workouts in order to save myself any added pain.
I'm 6 feet tall, 180lbs (maybe after Thanksgiving dinner), and I have trouble filling out the shoulders in a "smedium" t-shirt. But that doesn't mean I can't be strong. Don't be confused: this blog is not about how a hard gainer can pack on the pounds. It's unhealthy to put on useless weight, and quite frankly, I haven't figured out how to do it. This is quite simply a detailed account of how I train to be strong, even though I'm built like a 6th grader.
