Thursdays conditioning workout comes from the CrossFit Games Age Group Online Qualifier. It is an excellent sister workout to the high rep pullup/heavy clean workout. Both workouts are pretty high skill and heavy, but where Tuesday was heavy and long, Thursday is heavy and short. Best scores will come from athletes that put the pedal...Read More
