June Challenge!!

May 31, 2009

This months challenge will be Thrusters… Of course.

You will take the weight you use for Fran and perform as many thrusters as possible in one set. The bar must not go below the shoulders or your set is finished. There is no time component so take as long as you want. The bar can be rested in the front rack or overhead.

The thrusters must be squatted to full depth (hips crease below knee) and finished with elbow locked out fully over head.

Please post your results below.
If you are posting for a gym please post the total number of thrusters done by your gym and total number of people that participated. Also please give a per person number. See the rules post if you don’t understand.

You have until June 30 to post results.

My score was 46 @ 98 lbs.
Spencer got 40 @ 98. He might have gotten a couple more but we aren’t sure.
He also brought the bar down from his shoulders which we decided should be against the rules.
Good Luck!

    Here’s Tom doing 70 with 95#. Jolie jumped in for a bit, but decided to withdraw after 30 due to boredom.

    We’ve helped, but Tom came to us as a beast already. Can’t really take credit.
