Overview. Part A pairs moderately heavy thrusters with rope climbs. A shoulder, grip, and lactate tolerance challenge that will tax breathing and pulling strength at the same time. Part B starts with a strong machine effort, moves into barbell cycling, and finishes with a handstand walk. The aim is to ride the pacing carefully so you can attack the remaining work confidently.
Strategy.
Part A – As the thrusters are fairly heavy, you most likely want to break them from the first round (e.g. 14-7 or even 9-7-5). Overall your thruster strategy depends on your rope climbs (if you think these will be slow, can push the thrusters a bit more to buy time). Regardless, be smart on the 1st rope climbs to avoid getting stuck on the middle round. Steady pace based on your capacity. Make the most out of the footlock and aim to get up with 2-3 pulls each time.
Once you get through the first round, most of the work is done. Aim to keep the thrusters here to 1-2 sets. You’ll also know where you stand with the RC at this point so can either push the pace or slow down a bit as needed. The final round is going to feel bad so it comes down to how much you’re willing to push yourself.
Part B – This part should be all push. Start with a hard (but not max) effort on the bike. The snatches are either singles or small sets with quick breaks. Find a good rhythm and just keep moving. Do your best to get going with the first HSW right away after the snatches.
Instructions. Set the barbell and rope relatively close together in Part A to save transition time. In Part B, place the bike, barbell, and HSW lane in a logical flow so you’re not wasting time or breath moving around.
Debrief. Take 2–3 minutes after the workout to reflect
– Did your thruster and rope climb strategy in Part A hold up?
– How well did you transition from bike to barbell in Part B?
– How did the handstand walk go under fatigue?
-Name two (2) things you executed well. What’s one (1) change you’d make to improve next time?
Movement options.
Thrusters → 52.5/35kg (115/75lbs), 43/30kg (95/65lbs) or 30/20kg (65/45lbs), these should be moderately heavy for you
Rope climbs → Reduce reps (3-2-1) → Rope climb pull ups (21-15-9 or 15-12-9) → Strict pull ups (15-12-9 or 12-9-6)
BikeErg → Row, SkiErg or Air bike for same calories
Power snatches → 52.5/35kg (115/75lbs), 43/30kg (95/65lbs) or 30/20kg (65/45lbs), these should be moderately heavy for you
Handstand walk → reduce distance (50’/15m) → 10 Wall walks
