Improving the Overhead Squat

So I have decided that I will be adding a few things to my crossfit workouts.  Since the WOD are so short it isn't going to hurt me to add a few things to improve my mobility and strength.  I started adding two exercise before each workout and 2 after.  Before the workout I am doing a few sets of the Turkish Get Ups and the Overhead Squat.

The Turkish Get Up is just a great exercise to prepare the entire body for the workout and help improve my hip mobility and shoulder stability, as well as get the core working.  The Overhead Squat like I said in previous posts is my Kryponite.  I am determined to master it so I am performing a few light sets every workout to improve at it.

Today's WOD was the Push Press 2-2-2-2-2-2-2.  I did 135-145-155-165-175-180-185.  Felt pretty good but tough by the end.

After the WOD I did 2 sets of standing cable chops and lifts just to work the core a bit extra in PNF patterns.  k
