8 Rounds for time

35 Double-unders
7 Thrusters @ 52.5/35kg ( Katariina 42,5kg )
7 Bar-facing burpees

Target time. < 14:00 CAP 18

Overview. This one is a grinder, if you like difficult workouts then this one is for you:) We rarely do 8 rounds for time so pacing this might seem difficult. It can be helpful to see how many reps we do in total, 280 double-unders, 56 thrusters and 56 Bar-facing burpees. Few reps at a time on each movement so you will move pretty fast through the rounds, transitions will be important. Very important to KEEP MOVING. Enjoy!
Pacing. How will you attack the workout so you can continue to move through the 8 rounds without stopping? You should always try to do the double-unders unbroken, take 1-2 breaths if you trip up and get right back to it. Two options available for the thrusters: 1) Always unbroken, or 2) If you need to rest 3+ seconds before and after the thrusters you might be better off breaking up the thrusters 4-3 to stay moving. Pacing the burpees will be make or break in this workout. The burpee tempo that allows you to start the burpees right away and allows you to pick up the rope as soon as you are done is the right tempo. Going 3-5 seconds faster in the burpees but having to rest before and after is not worth it.
