20.20.20.25.25kg (backpack). I think the backpack rests a little on my shoulder but no dbs big enough. The windmills and body rotation were a revelation for me. Defo my biggest SAOHS

45-50-55-60-65-70-75 (3 reps each arm, 1m rest between arms) with a barbell, lifting shoes, ass to grass. Right arm easier.
right arm then left at: 55-65-75-90-105 pounds. L-arm was wiggly at the last 2 weights, but video says my depth was good :)

Great progressions! The last one is hard. I used yoga blocks to support myself, it's a bit easier for the wrists.

My first 4 sets were playing around with whatever I could find in the backyard, then I moved on to a barbell for 15-35-45#.
Loved the warm-up and the SLIPS suggestions from Bryan. I was STILL sore from Saturday and air squats were a struggle earlier in the day. By the time I was halfway through that warm-up, things were feeling good and moving well.

GRIT Adaptive teleclasses will do this on Monday.
Because of my athletes' injuries and equipment available at home, we'll mix this up for some tempo work with a focus on finding their best positions through their best range of motion.
Standing - tempo squats (one person might work overhead squats with a pvc or band)
Seated - behind the neck snatch grip presses (pvc or band)
For the SLIPS, we'll start with the 10 min EMOM of back scales / side leans, and we'll hit those stretches at the end of the hour.

Globo/home scale: As is today. Scale to milk jug single arm OHS, or soup can single arm OHS if this is all mobility allows. Bodyweight sub is pistol work (work to pistol jumps or pistol burpees, or progressions/scales of pistols if you are not quite there yet) and extra time on SLIPS, specifically ones that require total body control like Handstand holds. SLIPS as RXed.

Will have to add this book to the reading list, thank you!
Nice! The overhead squat is such a beautiful movement. The single-arm version is even better. This is a mobility workout for sure. Keep in mind one thing: mobility is what you want in life. If what you want is to be ready for the unknown and the unknowable, movement restriction goes against you. Good mobility is freedom and autonomy of movement, that is where you want to be headed, in your fitness journey. Now, don't make the mistake of confusing mobility with flexibility. Flexibility is great, it is the ability to achieve ranges of motion. You want that. However, mobility is more. It is the ability to control ranges of motion. Mobility is the conjunction of strength, balance, and flexibility. Appreciating that will also make you understand the fact that flexibility without balance or strength is as incomplete as strength without a range of motion and equilibrium. The single-arm overhead squat is an excellent expression of all of the above. Today when you approach this workout to figure out where you are lacking. Is it balance, flexibility, or strength? Treat this strength session as you would any other one. Only add load if the mechanics are solid. And also, while the mechanics are solid and you are feeling it, load it up. Athletes developing technique can use our option below to warm-up and dial-in their form. FOCUS!
▶ OPTION FOR SLIPS
FLOOR SLIPS
With a running clock, perform:
EMOM for 20
Minute 1: 5 L-sit/Tuck Pulses
Minute 2: 5/5 Spiderman Push-ups
Minute 3: 5 Pike-ups
Minute 4: 2-4 Negative Pike Push-up to Headstand
▶ OPTION FOR OHS
Thoracic Extension Mobilization
then
3 SuperSets
5/5 windmills
5/5 single-arm press in the bottom of the squat position
rest 1:00 between sets
then
3 SuperSets
30-second bottom of the squat hold with right arm extended overhead
30-second bottom of the squat hold with left arm extended overhead
rest 1:00 between sets
NOTE: Look and rotate your torso towards the raised arm.
then,
Take 10 minutes to work to the most beautiful single-arm overhead squat of your life.
The Shaq gif I linked originally wasn't working for some reason. Either way, "yeah right!" is the first thing that came to mind when I saw this. I am not strong, flexible, or disciplined enough to make max effort 1-arm OHS a good workout. But the value here comes from squatting while not being evenly loaded. Use your imagination to find a variation that works for you.
MAIN DECISION
Do I want to emasculate myself doing 2.5 lb. plate one-arm OHS, or do I want to preserve the heavy unilateral loading stimulus
NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
Scroll back and hit a previous workout, practice SLIPS and overhead squats during the warmup
3 reps means the weight should be heavy, 10 sets means 1) they want to even up the reps each side and 2) the volume/load wouldn't be quite enough as like a regular OHS with a bar, meaning you should be able to recover better and do more sets.
LEARN TO COOK
Pick a one-arm squatting variation (one-arm front squat, overhead lunge, etc.) and one SLIP and mush them together for an AMRAP
I DON'T WANT TO COOK, JUST GIVE ME FOOD
AMRAP in 15 minutes of:
6 one-arm dumbbell front squats each side
:30 L-sit
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 2
