Crushing My Weakness in '09

One of my goals for 2009 was to have a "Top Notch" OH Squat by the end of the year. I love concept of the movement, my body just doesn't love moving like that... yet. The lack of flexibility in my chest, shoulders, and back cause me to OH Squat inefficiently. I neglected this movement last year, and as a result my flexibilty has not improved.

No sooner than I wrote the goal down, Dot Com posted OH Squats 3-3-3-3-3.
I started with PVC and did numerous reps, then moved to the barbell and did the same. Here is a video of my last set of 3's at 115. Weak, I know. The weight doesn't fill heavy, just awkward squatting that position. I tend to hold the bar slightly behind the spine because I had a tendency to fall forward with the bar when first learning the movement. An easy fix though. I will OH Squat over 200lbs by the end of the year, one rep or three, it will happen.
