The last time I did this, I stopped the clock after every run because the treadmill was a good distance away from the bar. This time, I did it with a running clock, with the distance accounted for. Hence, a slower time.

The margin for error is very small. Overhead squats are one of those that demands the highest focus and concentration in order to negotiate the load down a seemingly short distance. I was reviewing all the instructional videos for em and by keeping in mind these three cues, I think I did pretty alright:

1. Draw shoulders to ears

2. Keep the lumbar curve

3. Weight on the heels

The running took a lot out of me. Wearing my adizeros helped a bit as I maintained contact with the ball of my foot to the floor.
