Having a blonde moment, I’ll blame the tbi lol, 11 Dumbbell Thrusters (50/35 lbs) that means 50 lbs db each hand right?
6 rds rx 30:31
Cap at baby waking up. Got the stimulus.
could have made 8 rds safely. Probably not 11.
11 rds:
400m run
11 db thrusters (#35)
11 burpees
Time 49’33”
9 rounds was all I could do today (and that was enough): 37:58, and slowed after 5 rounds.
Very thankful for all the sacrifices our men and women have made so we can enjoy the freedoms we can – lest we forget. Thanks for this unique way to remember on Remembrance/Veterans Day!
11 Rds:
400m run
11 thrusters (#50)
11 burpees
42:06
As a veteran I thoroughly appreciate, love, and hate this workout!
Great time! 👊
11 RFT 40 run/40lb Db thrusters/11 burpees 58:07
Great work pushing through all 11!
5 rds in 19:48
Tried to do a round every 4 min.
Round 5 was tough. Would think 8 rounds would have been between 33:00 and 35:00
Thankful for all the veterans!!
God bless America!!
Done with 44 lb kb
8 rounds done just under 34 minutes.
48:08 for all 11.
5 rounds were done under 20.
Grateful to get to work through some pain and adversity for our troops who continue to protect our borders and work for the cause of freedom around the world.
It’s storming here and I forgot to mention that I rower 500m each round.
Nice work Mike, especially subbing in the rowing!! 👊
Great job everyone getting this one done to suffer a bit for those who suffer a lot.
Many excuses today with hot weather, not enough sleep, tired legs from yesterday, etc. fact is that I came out too hot on this one. 3min per round the first three rounds. Big mistake thinking I can maintain this tempo 🥵 Hit 8 rounds around 30min and finished at 42:58min. Glad to have less than 4min per round. Last year was 45min ish with only 35# dbs. Rx weights this time.
Eight rounds for time of:
400 Meter Run
11 Dumbbell Thrusters (35 lbs)
11 Burpees
36:22 – thrusters ub
Great job Chris
Time was 43:14 and replaced thrusters with air squats since I currently don’t have dumbbells at home…and this one still hurt like hell lol.
Worth it for veterans day though.
hear hear – way to get it done still
FML. Seriously, this was prob the hardest workout I’ve done in years (at least aerobically). Finished 8 rounds in 30:30… had to drag myself through the final 3 rounds! (Almost quit 2 or 3 times…). What’s the point of stopping at when the finish line is soooo close.
If I’m gonna hurt might as well make it worth something, lol
RX “Veteran”, 11 rnds: 42:43
400m run
11 db thrusters @ 50#’s
11 burpees
Sounds like a killer workout. Would you happen to know the times today.
It was! lol, are you referring to time caps?
Sorry I was referring to the class times. But I did find out and we are going to the 9:00 am. Thanks for your response.
Great work finishing this one Blake, and that sounds like an incredible time too!
Nice work not giving up Blake, I think this one is definitely as much mental as physical! I was about the same time after 8 rds, but faded towards the end
Haha, I was convinced I was stopping at 8 after the 5th round. My shoulders were shot. I looked like a rag doll trying to keep up with an 8:40 pace on the run, lol…
First round at 3 mins was toooo fast, lol
Way to power thru, and for real re making the hurt worth something
Killed it Blake💪
Kinda knew what was coming up today after BFS introduced me to this one a couple of weeks ago, and you’ll be pleased to hear that it didn’t disappoint!! FT ‘The veteran’ 11 rds of 400m run 11 DB thrusters @2×22.5kg 11 burpees 43’39 Was pretty keen to keep it under 4 min rounds, which was fine early on and just about had enough in the bank for the last few rounds! Would have been so easy to cut this down, but kept on thinking what would Candy and everyone else think if I didn’t set an early RX time… Read more »
Great work setting the pace for us all Al! Great effort as always!
Thanks Mike, definitely as much mental this one as physical!!
You did it!!! Does this make your list now?
Yea for sure it’s certainly up the with Murph, The walking dead and the other one that I’ve erased from my memory!!
Great job as usual Al 🙌
Thanks Seb 👊 great time as well! Would have been fun all going toe to toe!!
Thank you Al. Glad to finish this one. Yeah, that would have been awesome to go toe to toe and to actually we share the pain and workout directly with other human beings 👍
