Rest day.
So, Open workout 12.5 was announced and it's a 7-minute thruster (100#)/chest-to-bar pull-up ladder. My initial reaction is a good one since I can do both movements. My pull-up volume isn't quite where it used to be, but I still consider pull-ups to be a strength of mine. Also, I try to do most of my pull-ups as chest-to-bar anyway, so the Open standard shouldn't be too much of an adjustment. Thrusters are obviously difficult, but I feel as good as ever on them. My front squat numbers have improved as well as my thruster mobility. Plus, my confidence is high after my performance on wallball shots last weekend.
My best Fran time is 6.11, which obviously isn't very impressive. Most of the top athletes have sub-3.00 Fran times. My hope is that I can close the gap on some of the better athletes because of the chest-to-bar standard and slightly longer time domain, and by giving a monster effort. It would feel terrible to underperform on the last workout and then have all year to think about it.
