Dear Helpful Community,

Is a squat thruster different from a thruster?

Thanks!

A squat thrust is a burpee without a pushup.  It’s really not a thruster at all.

Were you looking for a burpee sub?

Oops Sorry TP. It’s all in the timing…

Okay, I got it! The scaling says “Squat Thrusters” but I think squat thrusts is what was meant.

Thanks all.

3 rounds for time of:
Row 500 meters
21 Burpees
Run 400 meters

Dang nab burpees!

3 rounds for time of:
50 SDHP (Subbed for rowing)
21 Burpees
Run 400 meters

Time: 35:56

Yet another cold snowy day in Cleveland to run outside.  Not an easy WOD for me.  I didn’t realize how beat I was from yesterdays WOD until I started first thing this morning.  Looking forward to improving on this one.

25 x SDHP’s
10 Burpees
400m

18:33

I hate burpees.  Those quarters felt like I had lead in my shoes.  Oddly, each round was exactly 6:11.  My runs got slower by about 10-15 seconds each round, and the SDHP’s were knocked out at about the same rate each round, which means I powered through my burpees more quickly each round.  I guess that’s a good take away.

Day behind.

Run/Jog 2 miles

got my first muscle up today! f’n psyched!

then i got 5 singles!

Another scaling question:
If rings are available, we can do inverted rows.  How many meters per rep should we use for scaling?

Warmup: 2 rnds of 10 squat cleans,10 leg lifts,10 pullups,5 hsp

Big Dawg load
3 rnds for time of:
500m row(subbed 16kg dumbbell swings,50 reps)
21 burpees
run 400m

Time=19.08

Should of been faster. Lower back was fried during second round and I kept stopping on swings. Need to get myself a rowing machine!

Is there substitute for running?  I don’t like running on the treadmill at the gym, the belt skips sometimes.

Yeah, but usually it’s rowing . . . .

You could get on the bike for 500 meters.  If you want the really anal retentive answer, I’d say “what’s your 400 time” have you cycle as far as you can get in that amount of time, then every time you get back on the bike, you go that far.  (You can see the problem of going for time, when you get tired you don’t do as much . . . ).

Ugh. Fran. Pack. Ugh.

65# Thruster (sub 2x25lb DBs - ~70% per scaling I’ve seen on the forum, tell me if I’m messed up please)
Pullups - still can’t kip in a coordinated manner that allows really stringing them together, so a lot of these were dead hang.

something bumped my stopwatch early (noticed after 1st round of pullups) so based on time to complete from there of 4 min, I’d guess about 6’30”. Ick. I hate thrusters too.
