Farmer’s Walk 25 yds (110/70)*
5 Thrusters
*110/70 is total weight, so have 55# or 35# in each hand.
Post time to the whiteboard and to comments.
Coach's Notes. (standard start times of 0545 and 0630, warm up prior and be ready to "3, 2, 1...Go" at these times)
Simplest explanation of this WOD: Grab something heavy in each hand and take it for a brisk stroll. Then take those heavy somethings and get them over your head five times. A more complex version is: Grab two 1.5 pood kettlebells (53), hold them in your hands like you are holding milk pails, walk or run them 25 yards, without putting them down do five thrusters. Repeat three more times. This is a classic grip strength test.
Thrusters without a single fixed object overhead (i.e. an oly bar) are more difficult and require more stability in your frame so scale weight as necessary in order to preserve good mechanics.
Kettlebells will quickly become scarce for the morning groups, so grab dumbbells if necessary. Should be short and sweet so be ready to cycle groups through one after another.
This would be a good WOD for the grass outside the Bubble. For reference, the length of the Bubble is 40 yds, so two cones just short of the ends of the Bubble will get you close to 25 yds.
Consider some skill work afterwards, pick a goat and beat it up for 15 minutes.
