Love me some OHS!

Definitely had a case of the Monday's. Did not want to get out of bed and go to work at all. But looked forward to getting to the gym to work on some OHS! It's been since October, I believe, that we really worked these in strength, so I was eager to get after it.

Overhead Squat 3-3-3-3-3
*Find a heavy 3RM
*Worked off old PR back in October of 140#

bar(5)-55(3)-85(3)-95(3)-105(3)-115(3)-125(3)-135(3)-145(1) PR

Since it was Monday night, I got to the gym later after class around 7:20. Mom always comes late so I have someone to workout with and to my surprise Hannah hadn't worked out yet either. So I was happy to have her there, so we could feed off each others strength! :)

The OHS doesn't make me feel the tightness in my hips nearly as much as in FS and BS. I have no idea why, but I'm ok with it. My shoulders felt a little sore from Sunday's workout, so I really had to get those warmed up.

I had a hard time figuring out where to go with the weights because my 1rm was from so long ago, so I looked at the board and kind of followed Cannon's+ 1/2. On my set of 135, I felt really great. I kind of lost tightness in my core on the second rep so I was a litle wobbly, but once I regained control, I felt really good.

Here is where I debated forever on what to do. Do I go for a new 1rm or continue with a heavy 3rm. First approach to 135, I couldn't jerk it up because I was still debating what to do. After seeing Hannah get 150 x3, I was like um, you're going for 3 on this set. Got the 135 up and got 3 reps out. This felt awesome since my old 1rm was 140.

After that, I decided to go for 145 for one. I just jerked 145 as my 1rm on Friday, so I knew this was going to be the most difficult part. Took me to my 3rd attempt to get it up. Regained my stability, butt and hips back, stood it up and threw it down. I'm really excited to see how far I've come on these, but sad that my jerk is going to be my limiting factor here. I know I can squat it, just need to get it up. Must get stronger overhead!

Great night at Prevail! Mom and Hannah did an amazing job, love lifting with the ladies! :)
