15.3 256? shorter athlete and the wallballs suck, if i broken them up earlier, i probably wouda finished the 2nd round. thought about doing it again but another 100 wall balls, i decided my ego isn't worth it.

15.4 - 57 - probably too worried about locking the feet up, that i wasn't moving with any real quickness. 185 clean is about 80% of my max and powered all but the last rep.

Nice! Good work!
 
15.5

27-21-15-9 reps for time of:
Row (calories)
Thrusters

Men use 95 lb. (65lb scaled)
Women use 65 lb. (45lb scaled)

Damn I can actually do this prescribed but gotta save the legs and engine for a mud run on Saturday. Might give it a go on Sunday or Monday if I'm not too banged up
 
Yup 15.5 has been announced. Rows and thrusters. Looks like I will be fighting the urge to vomit after this one. I can do RX but I will probably do scaled because my right shoulder is still bothering me.
 
15.5 Rx: 16:09

I went slow and the steady on the row but I probably could have afforded to go stronger. I thought the row was going to take a while so I didn't want to go out too hard but it turns out 27 calories isn't very long at all.

how was it compared to your Fran time/effort? the rowing might not be as taxing as pullups but those extra 27 thrusters sound like a b*tch D:
 
Believe it or not I don't have a recent Fran time. The only one have is from about 4 years ago and is about 8 minutes IIRC. I actually prefer the row to the pullups though. I've gained a lot of mass so that I'm more proficient with the barbell but pullups take me longer now. I think I was able to break up the thrusters into 3 sets for each of the rounds. However, I'm short so even if I went stronger it would have taken me longer than the other people in the gym who are 6 ft tall and have the benefit of longer pulls.
 
good job y'all!

As for me, the shoulders and legs aren't doing any thrusting or rowing or anything strenuous for awhile. see ya at regionals 😀
