Fitness - Heavy Thrusters/Heavy Pull Ups WOD - 11/16

My hamstrings are still extremely sore from the level 2 class and I knew it was going to be a rough day at the old gym.

After a lot of warming up and stretching, we got into the WOD. Our WOD today was un-timed but we were told to go as heavy as possible.

There was no focus today.

WOD: 10 down to 1 (10, 9 , 8 etc. down to 1) of:
Thrusters - 75 Kg (165.3#)
Pull ups - Sets of 10 & 9, 16 additional Kg's

Score: N/A (this one was un-timed, done at our own pace)
Calories burned: 711

Uh, wow! This was pretty tough, incredibly heavy for thrusters. For the pull ups I added 16 Kg's for the sets of 10 and 9. But, after that I wasn't able to get the height anymore and was barely getting my chin above the bar. So I ditched the added weight and exaggerated the movement. I went super explosive and tried to touch my rib cage to the bar each rep.

It took me until I was on my set of six before I could get the thrusters unbroken. On sets 10 down to 7 I had to do 2 sets. I always made it to 2 reps before then end and I'd have to set the bar down and rest for a second, clean it back up to my shoulders and finish the set.

I'm really happy with my effort today. This was a brutal WOD.
