Okay, so I was trying to solve this crossword puzzle the other day, and I got totally stuck on one clue: “Overhead Barbell Movement.” I stared at it, racked my brain, and nothing. It was driving me nuts!
First, I grabbed my phone and started googling like crazy. I typed in all sorts of stuff: “barbell exercises,” “shoulder workouts,” “weightlifting moves.” I scrolled through tons of articles and videos, seeing all these buff people doing complicated lifts. Lots of information, but nothing that really clicked with the crossword.
Then, I decided to get a little more specific. I searched for “overhead barbell exercises list,” thinking maybe a simple list would jog my memory. Still, I found so many variations and fancy names, it was overwhelming. I was looking for a simple, common word, the kind that would fit in a crossword, you know?
I even tried a different approach – typing the clue itself, “overhead barbell movement crossword clue,” into the search bar. I figured maybe someone else had the same problem and asked about it online. I saw a couple of forum threads pop up, but they all used a differnet way to share,I just want the answer.
Feeling a bit defeated, I almost gave up. But then, I thought, “Wait a minute, I actually do lift weights sometimes!” So I stood up, mimicked the motion of lifting a barbell over my head, and it hit me – like a ton of bricks (or, you know, a barbell).
The “A-ha!” Moment
- It’s the PRESS!
Of course! The basic overhead press. It’s such a common exercise, I don’t know why I didn’t think of it sooner. I quickly filled it in the crossword, and bam, I was back in business. It felt so good to finally crack that clue. The rest of the crossword,No problem for me.!
