Start out today by hitting a moderate 3 rep front squat. Don’t record this number, the idea is just to prep for moderate thrusters later in the workout.The Met-con is a couplet with ascending weight thrusters. Athletes are responsible for changing their own weights. If you’re scaling the weight, you should still give yourself 4 different loads for the workout, work with a coach to dial in exactly how much weight you’ll need. If you finish all 8 rounds in the 15 minute cap, start over with your original weight and start climbing again until the 15 minutes are up. Each completed round is worth 35 reps today and we’ll be recording total reps in WODIFY.

Who is ready to stop putting the infamous Muscle Up on a pedestal and start knocking them out?  Back in 2011, this was one of those movements that you would see and think it was magic.  Fast forward to 2016 and the muscle up is a household name in the world of CrossFit.  What’s the secret?  We’re going to tell you on January 28th, so come join us at 11:00am at CrossFit Thermal. The clinic will be led by Coach Vin and Thermal athlete Brian Hungarter.  We’ll show you how to use the famous “Hungarter Swoop” to accelerate and catch your muscle-ups without shooting your heart rate sky high.   Sam “The Butterfly”, will also be on hand to translate Vin and Brian’s rhetoric into thoughtful science and poetry.  We hope to see you there!Read more
