Athlete Notes:
They’re back! Why not retest our abilities on a little wall walk/thruster workout? If you hit a version of this the first time around in week 1, check back to your notes and see how it went! This time maybe you’ll come at it with a new strategy! Wall walks seem so simple but there is actually a solid amount of technique involved with them in order to minimize time under tension for your shoulders (trust us, you’ll want that with this workout). Practice your technique and what works best for you and your body mechanics/height/mobility and use this workout as 55 opportunities to perfect it! For the thrusters, most of you will and should break them from the get-go. Hitting the upper numbers, 10/9/8/7 and even 6 in 2 sets is not a bad strategy if it allows you to move quicker on the wall walks! One last thing… when you’re 1 rep into the round of 7’s, you’re already halfway reps-wise, so buckle down and hammer out those lower reps!
