Standards: This workout begins from the standing position with the barbell on the floor and the Athlete standing tall. For the thruster using a ball, box or other object to check for proper depth is not allowed. Hip crease must pass below top of knee at bottom of thruster, bar must lock out overhead over the heels with hips, knees, and elbows extended. Squat clean is allowed. Chest must contact the bar for the chest-to-bar pull-ups and arms extended at the bottom. Watch the entire workout instruction video for full details.
If you complete the round of 21 then I expect to see you at the Games. If you complete the round of 18 you likely have a ticket to Regionals. This was the same workout that ended last year’s Open. The ascending “Fran” ladder is no better this time around. For those who finished their Open today don’t forget to submit your score. Congrats on pushing yourself and competing for the last 5 weeks! Also congrats to Michelle N. for her 100th WOD!
