Commented on: The Thruster

It's cool to learn about the specific mechanics of this movement and how it engages multiple muscle groups throughout the body. It's impressive that the thruster is known as one of the most challenging exercises due to the intense acceleration required against gravity with added weight. great thank you !

Model no 4 of CrossFit's definition of Fitness takes a very important role in the prevention of chronic disease. It is not just about physical markers. The best prevention and making sure treatments are more effective is blending Health and Fitness. Off the carbs, off the couch. or Fitness in a 100 words.

IT IS TRUE AND REAL!!! I just have to share this testimony, seeing is believing. I met with The Great Dr. Gurilarico Guru. He is a true and real spell caster. He brought back my ex for me within 48 hours after he casts a spell for me. I insisted I will not meet with my ex again because of many bad experiences I have had with fake spell casters from Africa and Asia. I go to the doctor and not believing things will work out well, not until I got Johnson my husband back in my life again. The Great Dr. Gurilarico Guru is real, trustworthy and based in Europe and the United States. You have nothing to lose or worried with here. Contact the great Dr. Gurilarico Guru directly via email on dr.gurilarico@gmail.com or SMS or call him directly on Europe: +370(662)61-563, USA: +1(832) 263-7128, Whatsapp Number: +1(512) 537-7128. You are in safe hands. he is always ready to help. A trial will convince you. Contact him today.

10:43 rx. I felt mostly lungs held me back. Legs fatigued pretty well toward the end though. Broke the cleans and dropped them all except the 5th on each round, where I stood up, readjusted, then did 3 thrusters unbroken. Broke the deadlifts on a couple rounds because I was so winded. Didn’t eat enough yesterday and only had a smoothie an hour beforehand.

As rx'd, 6:27.


Those deadlifts really 'seasoned the meat', lighting up the lower back during squat cleans. Went unbroken deadlifts into the first clean; then, squat clean singles, last one into unbroken thrusters. First round in 0:51, but then the bear caught up with me. Stared at the bar a long time in round 5, waiting to do the last squat clean into those thrusters. Did not want to fail and have to pick up the bar again!

I'm just starting CrossFit and definitely not in the best shape but I finished in 26:02 minutes. Deadlift started at 95 lbs and last round ended with 145 lbs. I've been lifting in general for about a year so I'm able to handle the weight, but needing to keep up with pacing myself. So excited to join the CrossFit family!

F/44 used 65#. 12:55 Form in cleans was sloppy first round so slowed down. Lots of rest :( just back to CF after 3 years. Trying to be tough but forgiving. 7 years of work doesn’t come back in 7 weeks.

This looks like a sneaky workout, where no single element is that bad, but the redundancy of some of the functions will have a significant impact. This 3-day cycle of programming has been pretty cool and shows some solid variance, in a lot of ways, across 3 conditioning workouts. Fatigue and some soreness is probably setting in, so try to put forth a good effort today knowing there is a rest day tomorrow! Here are some thoughts on this workout:


Scaling Considerations: When scaling loads for conditioning workouts that have multiple barbell movements, I typically have athletes utilize loads based on the limiting movement. For today, I anticipate the thruster load to be the determining factor on what weights will be used. On some rare occasions, I may allow the athlete to adjust the load slightly on the deadlifts. For today, I will likely not scale the reps per round, but rather I will reduce total rounds if the athlete’s capacity determines that the overall volume is too high.


Deadlift: I consider the prescribed load to be very light today with 9 reps being easy on nearly every round. With that being said, I won’t underestimate this movement too much, as the squat cleans will also require a pull from the floor. Athletes will utilize a load that is light for their capacity and allows for sound mechanics.


Squat Clean: I consider the prescribed load to be moderate today, with 5 reps being able to be completed unbroken or by performing quick singles. I will have athletes utilize loads to meet this demand. We will drill the mechanics of this movement quite a bit before starting the workout. If an athlete struggles with mechanics, I may have them perform a power clean followed by a front squat or perform the movement from the hang position.


Thruster: I consider the load to be moderate, but challenging, as I know this movement will be nasty after completing the front squats. I will have athletes utilize loads that can be completed for 3 reps unbroken on every round, following a short rest after the squat cleans.

Intended Stimulus

.

When you look at this and you go: "Fun!", you know you are a true crossfitter. That is cool sis, you are not alone, we are legion. Now, let's go past that. The weight is light for the deadlifts, and light/moderate for the cleans. But don't let that fool you this is just setting you up for suffering in the thrusters. There are 85 repetitions total, so think of this as a double Grace. It will be fast and it will burn. It should! Choose a weight in which you have no doubt you can do all sets of thrusters unbroken but that is on the heavier side. No matter what, don't let the weight get in the way of getting this done fast. Athletes for whom the technique of the cleans is not there yet could work on cleans before this and then do the workout with dumbbells.



*If you are not sure about scaling down the weight try this mind trick: can you do each round @95lbs unbroken with minimal rest between rounds? If so go 115, if not go at 95 and fucking destroy it.

.

Option 1

5 rounds for time of:

9 deadlifts

5 squat cleans

3 thrusters

Men: 95 lb.

Women: 65 lb.



Option 2

5 rounds for time of:

9 DB deadlifts

5 DB squat cleans

3 DB thrusters

Men: 35lbs

Women: 20lbs

Globo scale: As rxed. Use caution if using regular plates. If scaling and using regular plates, consider using something to get the barbell up to the deadlift start position.


If without a barbell today use 50/35lb dumbbells.

You should probably use a kettlebell

Kalani, The mods are mostly for those in globo style gyms (Eg YMCA, college rec gyms, anytime fitness, ect) and hotel gyms; many of which do not have 2 kettlebells of the same size. If you have 2 kettlebells of the same size, by in all means do it with kettlebells 1.5/1 pood!

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT: This one looks like DT, just a little lighter, less reps, and thrusters instead of push jerks. The intent on this one as written would be intensity for sure. But coming off a hard Cindy effort yesterday will not make that easy. It’s important to see a workout not just as an individual thing, but as a part of an entire week project. This adds in heavy(ish) weight and high intensity not seen in the last two workouts.


I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I can do the first 3 rounds unbroken (without setting the bar down) AND your technique is dialed in to the point where you don’t really have to think about it.


ORGANIC SCALES:

Strength — besides the obvious increase weight or go slow, try doing 5 separate unbroken rounds with a rest in between. Add weight each round.

Stamina — lower weight and add reps — especially to whichever movement you want to emphasize

Endurance — scale so the workout takes under 4 minutes

Flexibility — lighter weight, hang out at sticking points for a bit longer than usual


NEUROLOGICAL SCALES:

Coordination — try to connect the last rep of one exercise into the first rep of the next

Accuracy — focus on same squat position/sequence for deadlift, hpc landing, and thruster.

Agility — speed up the actual reps, not just the transition from one exercise to the next. Lots of up and down, and therefore lots of opportunity to practice agility

Balance — do the entire thing keeping your feet in the exact same place


GROUP VERSION: Three different movements in any workout really place a demand on the coach to get technique right. This is magnified with a barbell. The technique has to be there in order for rx’d. I think a good alternate would be 5 rounds of 21 deadlifts, 15 hang cleans, 9 thrusters with an empty bar or something light.


WARMUP:

Handstand — overhead prep

Kip — overhead and try to spend some time hanging every day

Squat — prep for thruster, hpc, and deadlift

Kb swing — core to extremity

Jump rope — always

Hollow hold — prep for overhead


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 8. If technique is right and scale is right and you’re in the right mood, this will smoke you like cheap crack, as they say.
