Today’s workout contains only one movement, and it’s everyone’s favorite: the thruster! Okay, so the thruster isn’t likely to win any popularity contests, but it is a great full body exercise. The trick today is to scale appropriately and break the thrusters into manageable sets. You can do it! I believe in you.
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD as prescribed (Rx):
Rx:
For time:
150 thrusters (75lb, 55lb)
Beginners should reduce the total number of repetitions in today’s WOD and perform dumbbell thrusters instead of thrusters with a barbell. If you’re not ready for dumbbell thrusters, please perform sit-to-stands instead with an added reach toward the ceiling as you stand up. A beginner’s version of today’s workout could look like this:
Scaled 1:
80 dumbbell thrusters (3lb, 2lb)
Perhaps something between the Rx version and the beginner version of the WOD is right for you today. Another variation of today’s WOD might look like this:
Scaled 2:
120 thrusters (45lb, 35lb)
