Why is anything overhead so damn hard 😂😂

Single arm snatches are always a favorite!

Megan

First full body day with Sam. Wowza. I definitely need to spend more time on core. Loved the squat cleans. Been a hot minute since I've done those! 🔥❤️

Had to battle my mind a bit to make it to this after an intense work day but glad I did it!

Safia

That was a killer! I had to wait until 8 pm to do it, so it was a rough start, but felt great to accomplish it 💪🏼

Amie

As always full body Wednesdays are my fave. 🙌🏽🔥The overhead squats is a weakness. Was feeling the burn on those. Hope to get more depth on that soon.

Deja

Tonya

Mentally got to myself today but finished it out anyway. Tomorrows another day ❤️

Single arm overhead squat was a process and did get better!

Jennifer

Current resting place is on the floor where that workout put me🥵☠️

Kashay Sullivan

WTF with the OH squats!!!!! How could something so seemingly simple be so deceptively hard?

Jessica

Lorena

Wow! 🥵 great WOD! I was confident… till I wasn’t 😂

How do you improve the mobility for single overhead squats! WOW! That revealed a huge imbalance…

OH squats were challenging but I was able to do them (with lots of wobbles)

Yanely

Paula

Those single-arm OH squats are super rough 😅 definitely something to improve...
