CF Games Open WOD 12.5

Complete as many reps as possible in 7 minutes following the rep scheme below:

3 Barbell Thrusters
3 Chest to bar Pull-ups
6 Barbell Thrusters
6 Chest to bar Pull-ups
9 Barbell Thrusters
9 Chest to bar Pull-ups
12 Barbell Thrusters
12 Chest to bar Pull-ups
15 Barbell Thrusters
15 Chest to bar Pull-ups
18 Barbell Thrusters
18 Chest to bar Pull-ups
21 Barbell Thrusters
21 Chest to bar Pull-ups...
This is a timed workout. If you complete the round of 21, go on to 24. If you complete 24, go on to 27, etc.

But first, some wrist stretches.


Yeah I didn't do any gymnastics crap today so why the gymnastics stretches. News flash, wrist flexibility and strength is HUGE when doing oly work, especially clean and jerks. Think rack position. Which brings me back to WOD 12.5 cause we're doing mad thrusters.

108 reps total (completed the thrusters on the round of 18). This is a slightly scaled up version of Fran (21-15-9, 95# thrusters, pullups) so I basically did Fran + 18 thrusters. I think if I managed my rest better I could have gotten 1 or 2 pullups in the round of 18. Hopefully I can give it another go on Sunday. I wouldn't quite characterize this as a sprint WOD. It's shorter than most but I think if you were to go balls to the wall out of the gate you would risk reaching failure on one of the two movements, which would completely screw you. I'd say the closest I go to red-lining was in the round of 15 which I broke up into a couple sets and probably hit around 90+% of my capacity.
