On Friday, we worked on doing over-head squats for our skills portion of the class. I think this sort of thing will help me with my back. I have awful posture, and the S curve in my back is not quite as straight as it should be.
They gave us all some exercises that will help work on that posture. Basically it consists of doing a squat and keeping hands stretched out overhead. For my back I need to make sure I'm focusing on opening my hips and shoulders.
Workout was actually pretty easy. 30 reps of clean & jerk. 135 Rx. I had no idea what weight I could do 30 reps of. Tested out 85, and it was too high. I went with 65, and finished in 4:40. I did take a few breaks, so I'm not sure if that means I should have gone lower (to get it all in 1 set) or higher (to make it a bigger challenge).
After that was tire flips. That was fun. Had trouble with getting a powerful body position to lift it, but once I figured that out I did pretty good. Flipped a 275 lb tire 9 times.
I actually find myself excited to go workout, and am a little disappointed that while in 'onramp' I am restricted to just 3x per week.
I can see why people say this gets addictive.
