2 Personal Records!

I followed up an awesome weekend of snowboarding in whistler with a great Monday morning workout. I managed to hit two PR's today! First we worked up to our one rep max overhead squat. I managed to squat 175lbs. I felt like I could have gone a little bit higher, but I didn't have time. After that we did a 12 minute AMRAP of 4 handstand push ups, 8 pistols (1 legged squats), 12 overhead squats at 115lbs. I did very poorly in the AMRAP because my shoulders aren't very strong. This meant I would do one or two handstand push ups, then I would rest for 30 seconds. I was also doing assisted pistols by hanging on to part of the pull up cage to keep my balance. During the workout, I felt like I might be able to do some pistols unassisted. After the WOD had finished, I started trying to do some pistols without the cage. It took a few tries but eventually I got my first pistol! They still need some work though.
