Comments on WOD Demo: Double-Unders, Heavy Thrusters
Hey there,
Thanks for sharing this WOD demo of Double-Unders and Heavy Thrusters. It looks like a challenging and metabolic workout that will definitely push athletes to their limits.
The scaling options provided are great for athletes of all levels to be able to participate in this WOD. It's important to choose a weight for the thrusters that will challenge you but still allow you to perform the movement safely, especially when you're already gassed from the double-unders.
For those who are new to CrossFit or still developing their double-under technique, the beginner option with single-unders is a great place to start. It's important to remember that everyone starts somewhere, and scaling appropriately is key to making progress and avoiding injury.
Overall, this WOD demo is a great example of how CrossFit workouts can be both challenging and accessible for athletes of all levels. Keep up the good work, and I look forward to seeing more WOD demos like this in the future.
Best regards,
