Thruster Max Workout
7 Rounds
1 Thruster
30 Double Unders
Perform as if you were trying to find your thruster 1rm, but happen to do 30 DU between reps. Add weight to the thruster until you cannot complete that weight. If you fail at that weight again, decrease the load and continue through 7 rounds.
I probably should have added 10 lbs. or so to my weight. I tried 155lbs. but failed. My shoulder felt a little strained at that weight. I stuck with 135 though, and tried to be precise with my form. I was going from a hang, straight into the front squat, then up through the press in one fluid motion...seemed to work well. When I tried starting with the weight on the ground however, I got out of sync...seemed like a coordination thing. I think I may have been pulling away from my body or something.
It's nice to now be able to blow through my DU's, and I even forgot my own rope today!
