Thrusters + pullups = death

Warm-up:
pullups
thrusters

Crossfit WOD 062008
AMRAP in 20 minutes:
10 thrusters (65#)
10 pullups (I used rings to stay by barbells)

BL: 9 rounds on the dot

Brutal. Pullups limiting, due to extremely limited kipping in the power rack (height and space). Probably doesn't matter anyways, cause I only figured out how to kip on rings by round 5. Little surprised to find that I've lost about 4-5 pounds; I've noticed I'm a bit leaner but didn't realize how much. Partly due to the increased bike riding; time to eat more food!

Edit: Scott pointed out that our previous attempts are here and here.

Nice effort!

Yeah, this workout really sucks. This is your second time doing it though right? Do you remember what you got last time?

I think this is the first time I've done it. The other thruster+pullup combo I've tried also nearly killed me.

I only thought you had cause I referenced said workout when I did this one a long time ago . I think you said it sucked then too

Found it. Funny thing is I did it too, and clearly didn't remember either. Good thing we post these up!

Wow, that's hilarious Scott. Good thing we log this stuff, cause when I saw the post I clearly remember the headache that this workout induced.
