Happy New Year! Only 1 class on Thursday – and it’s a doozy. To scale – use whatever weight you can do on the thrusters – 135/95 is heavy.  Find a weight that you can move for sets of 5. For C2B pullups, you can scale to Pullups or Body Rows. For the running, all 6 miles of it, you can bring a bike, scooter, skateboard, whatever to keep you moving. You can break it up how ever you like.  I recommend 20 rounds of 5 Thrusters, 5 C2B Pullups, 400m run.  You can even run shorter, doing 5 Thrusters, run 200m, 5 C2B, 200m run – 20 rounds.

There will only be 1 class at 9am today.  Open gym from 10a-12p. A few scaling options for todays WOD. 100 Burpees – do them.  Go slow if you have to.  5 minutes is blazing fast to do 100. That’s 20 a minute.  Try to find a pace – 15-16 a minute is pretty good.  10 a minute should be manageable – even if you do 10, this web rest the rest of the minute, this you should get through in less than 10 minutes. A quick note on burpees.  You will be fresh, so be careful going out too hot.  If 20 is a good number for you, but you open with 24 in the first minute because you can, you will pay for it later.  The same is try if 16 is your pace number.  If you open with 20, doing 16s late will be tough. 200 Doubleunders...Read more
