WHITEBOARD – 5 May 2011

Workload:

On the minute perform the following:

  • 2 Thrusters (95/65lbs)
  • Escalating Burpees (Starts at 2, and goes up 2 every minute)

*Once you can not complete a round within the 1 minute, rest the next minute, and then you have to complete the ladder going back down to 2 & 2.  Post best round completed, and any other failed round.

**Penalty for failing any round on the way back down is 10 burpees after the WOD is done

Notes:  Ok, so the workout starts with 2 thrusters and 2 burpees the first minute.  Once you complete those movements you get to rest the remainder of the minute.  The next minute you perform 2 thrusters and 4 burpees, the 3rd minute 2 thrusters and 6 burpees, the 4th 2 thrusters and 8 burpees, and so on.  Once you can not complete a round you rest the next minute.  Then, you complete the ladder going back down starting at the round before you last successful round.  So, if I successfully finished 10 burpees but failed at 12, I will rest the next minute and then do 2 thrusters and 8 burpees and keep going until I hit 2 thrusters and 2 burpees.

      completed 16 burpee round, then I think I got 2 thrusters and 2 burpees when going for 18

      missed 2 or 3 sets on the way down, but can’t remember which.. I think I got the 14, skipped 12, got 10, skipped 8.. then I dunno, maybe skipped 6, but then did 6 a minute later and then 4 2

  6. 14 complete.
    stopped after 12 going back down. (see first post).

    I need someone to massage my groin.

    No man is an island, entire of itself; every man is a piece of the continent, a part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less, as well as if a promontory were, as well as if a manor of thy friend's or of thine own were. Any man's death diminishes me, because I am involved in mankind; and therefore never send to know for whom the bell tolls; it tolls for thee...
