Evil Squats

Fifteen rounds of:

Power snatch followed immediately by five overhead squats.


What started out as what I thought would be a night of frustration actually ended in being a very productive WOD!  Granted the coach had to bring me out of my frustration but I came out of it.  Got to work on those evil squats.  Started out having a wall ball sitting on top of a 45lb. weight and 15lb. weight and using a PVC pipe for the overhead squats.  I got my butt to the wall ball. 

In it's own weird way when the coach made me just sit on the wall ball it brought some reassurance to me.  Not sure I like him being in my head and knowing what I'm thinking but it did help - LOL!  I have been afraid the wall ball wouldn't hold me by allowing me to sit on it. 

So I made sure my butt kept hitting the ball.  At one point the coach removed the 15lb. weight.  It was still a struggle to get even that much lower but I kept trying.  The coach put a 5lb. weight back under the ball and that helped.  But for the last few rounds that I did I took that 5lb. weight off.  I was determined to keep working on getting low enough.  I'm going to keep working on these evil things called squats and get it right one day. 

I came out feeling accomplished!  And for that I'm proud of myself.
