B: Five rounds for time of:
45#/25# plate Overhead walking lunges, 50 feet

Then 5 times:

  • John Grosso

    10 rounds + 10 pullups + 6 thrusters

  • Amanda Long

    A. 50 double unders – was able to string 30 together in a row (PR)
    B. RGWU – day 1. Did my first handstand press – haven’t been able to do this since I was 8
    C. Around 10.5 rounds – lost count somewhere in between. Thrusters were unbroken.

    Felt good today – guess that is what happens when you decide to take a rest day every now and then.

    And yes Dickie, there was great energy at 6am!

    65# – 5 Pull-ups per round, 2.5″ band

    Junky neck & shoulder blade…played it safe today. For those who share this nagging pain, check out this MWOD, which has been magical in just the two times I’ve done it for 5 minutes per side: http://bit.ly/L93uXU

    12 Rounds + 1 Pullup – all thrusters unbroken

    Even with the mad scaling this one left me a bit loopy this morning.

    • InvictusWink

    8 rounds + 5 pullups rx’d. Thrusters unbroken, pullups terrible.

  • Albert Insogna

    Rounds of 7 instead of 10, 65# thusters and strict-ish pullups.

    11 rounds (so really more like 8, in terms of 10-rep rounds).
