March 28, 201412 yr Well, it's the last week of the CrossFit Games Open and they definitely saved the best for last. This weeks WOD is a first for the open. Every work out to date has been in AMRAP format. For anyone that doesn't know, AMRAP stands for As Many Rounds/Reps as Possible in the allotted time. So if it's a 7 min AMRAP of burpees your score is the number of burpees completed in 7 mins. This weeks work out does not have time priority. It is Thrusters and Bar Facing Burpees in the following rep scheme. 21 Thrusters (95lb for men / 65lb for women) 21 Burpees 18... 18... 15... 15... 12... 12... 9... 9... 6... 6... 3... 3... You go until complete. Your score is the total time it takes you to finish. I think most know what a burpee is so a bar facing burpee is one in which face the barbell, drop to the ground, hop up and instead of jumping in place and clapping above your head you jump over the bar. You have to jump off both feet for the rep to count, do not have to clap over head. So down, up, jump is one rep. Turn around and repeat for the second rep, and so on.

March 28, 201412 yr I hate burpees. I love burpees....said no one ever. Burpees are bad enough but combine them with thrusters and it just doesn't get much worse. Thrusters are probably my most hated movement.

Did this tonight, most awfulest, suckiest, big fat ball of evil I've ever done. Took me 23:58 to finish. Thrusters are the devil.
March 29, 201412 yr Squeezed in the pure cardio insanity workout. Felt great. Need to get really serious and focused like I was back in Nov.
March 29, 201412 yr Down 7lbs since Jan 15th much leaner and stronger. Plyometrics have helped as well as hitting the heavy bag 3 days a week for 20 min. I have been doing dumbell exercises standing on a half/ball and that has helped strengthen my core as well. I gotta give a lot of props to the Zija Nutritionals more specifically the XM+ product. I know its not for everybody but the extra energy I get is amazing.

Would agree with this 100%. Recently onto the Zija nutrionals. XM+ and XM burn help get me through the workout. Feeling much better in the knees.
