Stec - 105,115,125,125,125,135.135.
Try as I might these were not full squat, but power snatches. I did try to do a OHS at the top though. Getting there. Here are my marks for the same workout on 3/24/08 - 75, 95,95,95,95, 115,116 Big improvement.Here's one of my favorite videos of Nicole struggling over a period of time to complete 15 bodyweight overhead squats. A few things to note:
Her solid squat form. This is why we've been working on perfecting the basics of the air squat. We're going to conquer the basics so eventually you'll be able to put heavy loads on there safely.
Sheer determination. All of you bring a great intensity that I love! A big problem with other workout programs is that when you get near peak and the improvements get smaller - intensity and motivation drop off. Not with crossfit. When you get closer to your genetic potential and your measuring improvements by seconds instead of minutes - thats when things get really fun!
- Notice the hips bending first. This is what I want to see.
- Notice the squat is upright. Work on your flexibility and teaching your body to stay upright.
And Ladies, notice her body. If girls train themselves like athletes, they will look better than they could ever imagine. Most guys think the pencil legged runner girls look fantastic until they stand next to a crossfitter. Watch the squats at 1:50, do you think her thighs are too big? Post your answer to commments.

Yeah Nicole is something else. She was one of the main trainers at the certification I went to in San Francisco. She's even more amazing in person.
