It never fails, as miserable, lonely and depressed as I might be, Cross fit always seems to bring an effervescent smile on my face.
I have always had a huge problem with confidence in my abilities to push heavy weight and perform accurate moves. I know the strength is there, the motivation is there, and the determination; but for some reason I seem to always lack the confidence. Today, conquered this confidence burden.
Every single time I have tried to master the Overhead Squat I have failed, miserably. Bruised toes, sore wrists, and a wobbly core all encompass my poor attempts at this functional move. Today, I conquered the move. In fact, I successfully completed 6 reps for five rounds along with some other moves in those vomit inducing WODS.
It was awesome. I was so giddy with delight and proud of my accomplishment. I never thought I would be able to conquer this move. My posture is piss poor, flexibility non-existent, add in a wobbly, dancing core and that has historically spelled a huge recipe for disaster.
Today, was a much needed happy, successful, fulfilling day. Today I tackled my confidence and prevailed with a perfect overhead squat. The most exciting part is I did five rounds of 6 reps each. I was the last person to complete the WOD today, but I don't care. The fact that I completed the workout with 100% accuracy is what is most important.
Today, thank god, was a great day.
