Rest 3:00m, then

4 Rounds

15 Calorie Row

Max Thrusters in time remaining

Scaling Options:
•Ideally the buy-in of each round should take less than a minute- scale the number of reps and the weight as needed. The max thrusters should be a weight you can comfortably move.

Advice From Our Coaches:
The stimulus here is threshold training. The goal is to see consistent numbers across the board in both cas and reps of thrusters.

#FEARLESSFRIDAY; CFML’S CALORIE TORCHING, MUSCLE BUILDING WORKOUT OF THE WEEK:

CrossFit Games Open 22.1 RX 

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:

3 wall walks

12 dumbbell snatches

15 box jump-overs

Advice from our coaches:
1. Smooth is fast on the wall walks.  We want our reps to feel fluid, rather than rushing up the wall and taking unnecessary, sloppy steps.
2. If the DB feels light, transition it overhead to speed up the movement and stay fast.  If the weight is heavier for you, consider bringing it to your shoulder first before transitioning to the other hand.  This is a bit slower, but less fatiguing. 

#SHOUTOUTSATURDAY;
