You know it's hard when the thruster is your rest!


WOD
Snatch
2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2

400m Farmer’s Carry (50lb/35lb)
Every 10m do 1 Thruster.
RESULTS
55-65-75 on out ...
25# 11:28 (I didn't look at my time, but Billie says this is where I fell out...)

ANALYSIS
I really wanted to use this snatch time to work on my form so I stayed at a comfortable 75 for 6 of the 8 lifts.  Still having problems opening my hips and getting under the bar and I am pretty sure I have moved into over-analyzing mode.  Sigh... the one thing I am confident that I do really well is stay active in the bottom of my squat - legs and shoulders. So there's that :)

Farmers Carry. So hard.  Its quite frustrating bc the muscles are working, but the hands/grip won't. I just couldn't hold on more than 1-1/2 or two rounds towards the end.  I wimped out and didn't do the burpees every time I dropped the weights - that would have added another 4mins or so to my time I think.  But its hard to opt in when things are optional - and maybe thats what divides me from the true competitors ;)
