Just read an article from Breaking Muscle on how to improve Fran times, so decided to work on Thrusters to practice form since that is really a weakness.

Part A:  Do 5 rounds of the following:

Part B:  Then EMOM for 20 minutes do the following:

  • 5 x Thrusters @ 30kg

Part C:  Then without resting on minute 20 start the following for time:

  • 12 x Thrusters @ 30kg
  • 9 x Strict Pullups
  • 9 x Thrusters @ 30kg
  • 6 x Strict Pullups
  • 6 x Thrusters @ 30kg
  • 3 x Strict Pullups

Results:  For part B, since 1 minute is long and 30kg is not very heavy, took my time and did the thrusters nice and slow concentrating on different things like wrist transition from rack postion to press position, elbows up, timing going up, timing going down, etc.  Part C took 3:30 or so.

For time do:

  • Run 1.5k
    30 x Box Jumps
    Run 1k
    30 x Walking Lunges
    Run 1k
    30 x Box Jumps
    Run 1k
    30 x Walking Lunges
    Run 1.5k

Since I did this out in the woods, distances are approximate. Did box jumps where I found some logs to jump on. I keep a 20-30kg rock in the woods, which I used for the walking lunges.

Results: 37:51  HR max = 174 / ave = 154
