In CrossFit, a good air squat is greatly admired. It translates into a success in so many other movements: many barbell movements, wallballs, dumbbell thrusters, etc. We practice this seemingly straightforward movement a lot....A LOT! And even if our own squat is not at its best, we readily slip into the role of Squat Police. :)
My squat is a work of art in progress, but at least it is continuing to progress. I'm trying to keep one step ahead of the Squat Police. I get a lot of *warnings*!
Then last night I had a squat dream. (I admit that I love CrossFit dreams...all three I've had. :-) ) I was squatting with feet only about 6" apart, hips below knees, heels down!! SWEET! Best thing about it, I was me now, not me as a two year old~~~you see, we are being told to "squat like a toddler" all the time.
Oh, what a dream it was. I could feel the comfort in the squat, hanging out at bottom. Too bad I had to wake up. Back to the practice. I'm hoping that dream is a precursor to better squats. I'd love to feel less like a felon on the run at the CrossFit gym!
