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.

Crossfit Games Workout 15.1 and 15.1a

15.1 AMRAP in 9 minutes of:

  • 15 x Toes to Bar
  • 10 x Deadlift
  • 5 x Snatch

15.1a Immediately following 15.1 with the same running clock find 1RM in 6 minutes for Clean and Jerk.

Scaled weight for 15.1 is 38kg/25kg. Note that scaled toes to bar is hanging knee raises but we missed that part  :-P….

Results:  C:  132 reps / 70kg.   P:  120 reps / 62.5kg.  J:  122 reps / 45kg.  At first I thought it was not very intense but looking at my heartrate graph I guess I was wrong.  Cool to see that my heartrate climbs after a big lift, since 15 minutes  (plus a few seconds since I started my watch early) was the end.
