Followed Acevedo's parallette slips routine probably at about medium capacity. Video links were very useful thankyou.
Thrusters@ 60. 65. 60. 60. 60kg but my wrist was giving me hell so added 2R FS/HSPU @65k,75k (85k BW).

Thrusters
10@ 45/55/65/55/45
I have a head cold & didn't want to go heavy with my head feeling so foggy so just did extra reps.
Get a little bit of fatigue in before hitting the lift. The thruster is what athletic people do with front squats, so the added press should challenge our squatting and jumping mechanics as well.
NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:
8 thrusters
:15 L-sit
TRAINING SCALE
Go sub-max on the weight (still heavy, though) and make all 7 sets at that same weight. You could also go a little lighter and play around with less rest to exaggerate stamina. Or do the handstand descent before each set to get the stamina effect.
PRACTICE SCALE
Do the thrusters with your shoes off so you can feel the arches in your feet better, also hang out at the top position for a bit longer than usual
INJURY SCALE
Pick two of the SLIPS you can do and go back and forth with them for about a half hour
GROUP SCALE
Set time caps (30-45 seconds) for the sets and go at it for about 40 minutes, throw some L-sits (bottom of squat) and scales (arches in the feet) in between. The time cap lets lighter weight people do more reps.
WARMUP:
SLIPS and maybe a few squats here and there
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 3

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
Heavy thrusters are the bomb! We are usually so intimidated by this movement. Most athletes feel like it is incredibly heavy. Going heavy here will demystify this lift for you. Don't make up your mind today on how heavy you are going. Have a loose template, and while the weight is moving well, go up! As you might already know, the thruster is just a front squat followed by a push press. Both lifts require a very vertical and upright torso, as well as a robust balance foundation. "Rocking chair feet", "stripper butt", "good morning squats," and poor rack positions will all be heavily punished today. This lift is like an overhead squat; it will bring out all the things that could be better in your mechanics. If this lift is super challenging for you today, that's great! Record yourself and find what aspect of your mechanics you should be working on. Athletes new to the thruster should work on drills to build the movement, options below.
Today for your SLIPS practice, try to use an implement you have not recently used. Focus on waking up the core as well as stretching the shoulders. Get yourself ready for the thruster. Get tight!
20-30 seconds Parallette Handstand Hold (use wall as needed)
▶ THURSTERS
3-5 sets
3 Jerk Dips + 3 Jerk Drives + 3 Push Presses
Load: light
3-5 sets
3 Front Squats + 3 Push Presses + 3 Thursters
Load: light to light/moderate. Only increase if mechanics are there.
then work on sets of 5 thrusters. Focus on just one aspect of the lift, and go as heavy as possible while the main points of performance are there.

Really proud of the work here. Explosive movement, great form, great back and an engagement, especially using the back NOT the arms and shoulders to get the bar the rest of the way. Hit my PR at the end, so it may be time to try again and see what my thruster PR now is!

Globo scale: if you have bumper plates go to town. Consider cleaning from the ground into the thruster for the first rep. If without bumpers do this one in a rack up to a heavy but controlled triple. If without a barbell do ascending weight sets of 3 dumbbell thrusters. If you max out the dumbbells do AMRAP sets for any remaining sets. SLIPS as Rxed.
