In Memory of Bob Kalsu
Today you will be taking on one of Crossfit Football's Hero workouts. I'm not going to lie this one is definitely a battle. I would come in with a game plan on how many thrusters per minute you feel you can maintain and stick with that. This is one were you definitely don't want to go with the "fly and die" method.
Conditioning
KALSU
On the minute perform 5 burpees and a max set of 135 lb thrusters. Keeping this pace till you complete 100 total thrusters.
At the beginning of every minute perform 5 burpees, for the rest of the minute perform as many thrusters as you can during that minute. At the beginning of the next minute perform 5 burpees and then max rep thrusters and so on until you reach 100 total thrusters. Go as long as it must take to complete the 100 thrusters.
