Thrusters: Big Volume - 10.11.22

Thrusters are back.....in a big way. This being a short training week because of Thanksgiving, let's start it out with a kick in the pants (backside of pants to be specific - glutes). Trick with this workout is to utilize the jumping motion - DO NOT make this a squat and a push press or you will miss the opportunity to utilize the power of what is arguably the potentially strongest and most functional group of muscles in your body - your hip extensors.

For time:
150 Squat Thrusts

SM: use an empty bar.
Men: 20Kg Bar
Women: 15Kg Bar

CF: add 20 Kgs
Men: 40Kg
Women: 35 Kg

Post your time/scaling/mods & compare to Sept 15.

Dead, Dip, Pullup - 10.11.17

Not for time, 5 rounds.

Deadlifts - 10/8/6/4/2
Max Pullups single set
Max Dips single set.

CF: Deadlifts: designate, from the start, one load greater than bodyweight and do not alter. Dips and Pullups are without jumping and without band assist.

SM: Deadlifts: designate, from the start, one load equal to or lower than your bodyweight and do not alter. Dips and pullups can be band or jumping assist, however any jumping assist must be followed by a 5 count lowering phase.

Score is a combination of deadlift weight (in Kgs) selected added to the highest total reps of pullups and dips in the same round. For instance, a 100Kg deadlift with 20 pullups and 20 dips as the best round gives you a score of 140.

Post your score.

Parachute Monkeys: 10.11.11

First of all, Happy Veterans Day. Thank a Veteran for his/her service to this great country.

The workout today involves a bit of math. Some of you will find your Vibram 5 finger shoes useful as you use all of your fingers and toes too for counting .

Round 1: For time, 21/15/9 of this triplet:

Box jumps (you select the height - measure it and multiply by 10 for the box jump sum (BJS)
Dumbell push press (10% bodyweight in each hand)
Knees to elbows using rings instead of pullup bar for grasp

Convert your time to seconds. Subtract the BJS to get your Round 1 Score. Recover for 5 minutes.

Round 2: For time, 15/9 of same triplet with same box height and DBs and note Round 2 Score. Your goal is a Round 2 score that is less than your Round 1 Score.

Dessert: 70 yards (1 lap) of spiderman crawl (not for time).

Record your Round 1 and Round 2 score, your box height and any mods or scaling used in the workout.
