M/ 47/ 138 lbs/ 5’-6”

Thrusters are a bit of a weak spot for me and I very rarely train them. Great reason to try this today I thought.

I started with 75, then increased 10lbs every 5 minutes.

I was done after 24 rounds but after I completed 95a and got to 105 lbs I thought it was too much volume and not enough weight so I went 2 rounds on 105 and 2 rounds with 115.

the heavier sets were done more of a pure FS into a press instead of holding the bar a bit in front. It’s more stable but a lot slower to cycle reps.

oddly my right forearm was locking up/ cramping towards the last 5 rounds.

good workout. I will do less sets early and go heavier next time.

Made it through minute 17 rx’d UB but then stopped. I have been feeling I need an active recovery week lately and skipping this WOD yesterday and being unmotivated/achy today seals the deal: lighter/active recovery week started. Tomorrow’s WOD should fit right in, after some light snatch technique work...

0:00-15:00 as written

15:00-20:00 at 125 instead of 135

20:00-21:00 got 5 reps at 135

21:00-22:00, 3 reps (2/1) at 130 and called it quits

Compare to 20:00 +3 reps Rx. I was definitely stronger 5 years ago,

Thrusters we’re not happening today, so as modified:

5 squats followed by 5 shoulder press on a hammer strength press machine. Kept the time sequence. Stopped after completing 135# string.

Only light DBs avalilable, so I modified this one to:

--

With a continuously running clock, complete 10 thrusters every minute.

From 0:00-5:00: 2x 5 kg DB

From 5:00-10:00: 2x 7,5 kg DB

From 10:00-15:00: 2x 9,5 kg DB

From 15:00-16:00: 2x 12,5 kg DB

SCORE: 16 minutes - 160 reps

--

Really appreciate this pattern. Did 5 more reps EMOM until 20 minutes using 2x 12,5 kg DB

Later in the day, did a "death by thrusters" version with 2x 9,5 kg DB: starting with 10 reps, increasing by 1 every minute. But only made it to 6 minutes...

Still, this was fun and A LOT of thrusters.

5 - 1 arm thrusters with dumbbell.

0-5 minutes - 35lb

5-10 - 45

10-15 - 55

15-20 - 65 Thought about going to 75lb, but was pretty sure could not do 5 and also was a little concerned about having to drop it, and that would not have been pretty.

Completed in the a.m.


16 rounds as RXd-ish (did not have the plate combo for 75lbs, used 65lbs instead).


Got to 3 reps after round 16 before the minute buzzer. Did another 5 reps the minute after to finish it off, 3,2. Definitely a more challenging workout than it looked at the start!

PR by 8 reps

I really appreciate this WOD - it changed thrusters for me, in a good way, the first time I did it in 2014 (and the 4 other times I repeated it since then).

Scaled to 75-85-95-105# to get more reps in.

90 reps/18 min (3 rounds at 105#) before I knocked it off to protect the back. And shoulders. Didn’t help that I did heavy squats yesterday!


59/5’8”/156


Loved the throwback video with Pat and Wes! Lotta good videos out there from the early days.


160422: 75-95-105# and 75 reps/15 min before knocking it off early.

Globo scale: If you are using iron plates today it's OK to do this one in a rack.

Dumbbells sub: female 15/25/30/35/40/45/50/55/60 lbs, add +5 ea round thereafter, do "Death" by sets (increase by 1 rep every minute) after the 5th minute if you max the available dumbbells. Male: 35/45/55/65/75/80/85, add+5 lbs each round thereafter, do "Death by" sets (increase by 1 rep every minute) after the final 5 minutes if you max the available dumbbells. Kgs make appropriate jumps down the dumbbell rack. If the dumbbell rack is sparse see below.


Busy gym: If you can get a bar and plates and a space go to town. If not, pick a single set of dumbbells, ideally 35/50lbs, and do "death by Thrusters" on a 25 minute clock, reset to 1 after failure, and work until 25 minutes are up. Scale as needed to get at least to the 10th minute on thrusters. Post the highest score and number of reps completed.


Bodyweight/ equipmentless sub: death by burpees on a 25 minute clock. If possible jump to a target or over something. Reset to 1 rep and work back up if/ when you fail, and work until 25 minutes are up.

Champions Club Scaling Notes


RANT

Nothing to rant about


WORKOUT THEMES

Medium and Medium. Maybe long and heavy. Pushing with skill, jumping with a ton of ROM, squatting with speed are also themes, Stamina plays a major factor, as well as endurance.


MAIN DECISION

Is 5 reps at a time going to give me a good enough dose?


TECHNIQUE SCALE

15 minutes

Thruster for 40 seconds

Rest for 20


CONSISTENCY SCALE

Pick the same weight and go for all 15 minutes at that weight


INTENSITY SCALE

Only move up in weight if your speed on the 5 reps stays consistent. For example, if if takes you 15 seconds to do 5 reps at 115, then 19 seconds at 135, then you would go back down to 115.


INJURY SCALE

Pick one movement you can do at full capacity and do the technique scale


MY STUFF

Consistency scale, 135 lbs.


GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 6
