Warm-up:
good mornings
overhead squat
back squat (high-bar; to 2x2x225# w/ 2 second pause at the bottom)

5-5-5-5-3-3-3 overhead squat (95,105,115,125,135,140,145)
snatch pull (mixture of singles and triples, 13 total reps; 135#)

I was shocked to find that in all of 2008, I only managed to overhead squat THREE fucking times! That's incredibly pathetic, especially so knowing all the benefits of this lift. Talk about avoiding something that makes me nervous. Today was my first time repping bodyweight; I'd like to work up 15 reps at bodyweight over the next month or so. Power jerked the first few sets, but still push-pressing the heaviest weights. Gotta work on that.

Did snatch pulls to work on setting my back arch and keeping back angle constant through the first pull. Video shows that I even when I take the time to set my back (and it feels freaking arched), it is totally straight. Will have to work on my flexibility (hamstrings?).

I also tried adjusting the position of the bar at the start. I moved it slightly more forward over the metatarsals based on a very thoughtful article by Tracy Fober, which resulted in a sweeping back of the barbell once it clears the floor. Not sure whether that will help the lift itself any, but my start position definitely feels less crowded, which allows me to extend my lower back a bit more.
