Paused Overhead Squats

On the 2:00 x 5 Sets:

1 Pausing Overhead Squat

* Athletes will complete a 10 second pausing overhead squat every 2 minutes for 5 rounds

* The goal in the pause is to stay active with the upper body and lower body as we sit just below parallel

* With the long pauses, the weights here aren’t intended to be very light

* Athletes should start light and only build if the weight support good positioning

* Think of this as a positioning primer for the overhead squats to come in the workout

Grimace (Time)

21-15-9:

Overhead Squats (95/65)

Toes to Bar

Directly Into…

15-12-9

Thrusters (95/65)

Chest to Bar Pull-ups
## DESCRIPTION

* The first part of today’s workout will prime our positioning for the overhead squat

* With a 10 second pause in the bottom, the goal is good mechanics over weight lifted

* In the second part, we’ll complete all the overhead squats and toes to bar before immediately transitioning to the thrusters and chest to bar pull-ups

* There is no rest between these two couplets

* Your score is the total time it takes to complete both parts

* We expect “Grimace” to take around 12-20 minutes to complete

## GYMNASTICS

* If you have 15+ unbroken reps at each movement , complete this as written

* If you’re not there yet, consider reducing reps or modifying these stations

* Athletes with no goals of competing can sub the chest to bar pull-ups for chin over bar
