Thrusters and Pullups for 10/30/2015

CrossFit has combined thrusters and pullups since early on.  The classic, and painful, benchmark WOD “Fran” combines thrusters at 95 lbs and pullups with 21, 15, 9 reps for time.  Sometimes the thruster weight is heavier.  Sometimes the pullups are done by pulling the chest to the bar.  We have even seen thrusters combined with muscle ups.  The thruster requires the entire body to drive a bar from the bottom of a squat to overhead.  Done consistently, it will exhaust your cardiovascular system.  Then, grab a pullups bar.
