Only Thrusters and a mini-Fran

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.

The Rx WOD was AMRAP in 8 minutes of:

  • 3 x Handstand Pushups
  • 3 x Cleans
  • 6 x Handstand Pushups
  • 3 x Cleans
  • 9 x Handstand Pushups
  • 3 x Cleans
  • 12 x Handstand Pushups
  • 6 x Cleans
  • 15 x Handstand Pushups
  • 6 x Cleans
  • etc.

The Rx Weight was 185 lbs, but since my 1RM is 68kg (155lbs) chose to use 115lbs (53kg).

Result:  166 reps.  (up to the round of 15 handstands and 6 cleans)
