Sort of a get-back-to-it workout for everybody, for various reasons. Eric's knee seems to be holding up (just in time for a little surgery), but felt his hamstrings were a little tight. Scott says yay! (about his knee, not the tightness of his hamstrings, or wherever). The OHS felt good on the back, and after doing back squats yesterday the relatively light weight was a relief on the legs. It's amazing that when you get the weight balanced right, it seems almost weightless.

thanks Kenway
scott, you have full editorial permission to edit the post - i trust you to wield it judiciously
just like root password knowledge:
with great power comes great responsibility...
Holy shit Eric! Glad to see that squatting is still possible for you. Nice work on the dips too, I'll give that a try tonight.
I guess Kenway likes them complexes, eh?
Damn, just saw that these were for 5 reps. Strong work!
yeah Kenway's definitely a fan of the complex. I think I am too. I really like how they transition from one thing to another. nice find.
It seems like it would serve as a general warmup too, I think the key is to go with a reasonable weight - by the time the push press rolls around I'm pretty winded.
Eric did great on the OHS, we thought it would be a good exercise to get a little knee mobility going without really overloading the weight. Think of it as PT with a little more grunting (and less cute nurses)...
Dammit, I like the cute nurses! (Now that you mention it, there was a really good PT who was really cute at the NYU HC. I'll have get her for my knee rehab...)
Christ Eric ...
