"Hipster"8 min

AMRAP 8:
20 Box Jumps (24"/20")
20 Thrusters 75 / 55 lb

Stimulus
  • Overview: Today's workout is appropriately named, since both movements require an aggressive hip opening to complete quickly and efficiently. How well do you maintain your explosiveness under volume fatigue? Let's find out!
  • Box Jumps: About 1:00 to complete.
  • Thrusters: About 1:00, no more than 2 sets to complete. Bar should be very light.
  • No rebounding box jumps, fully open hip on top of box.
  • Score: Total rounds and reps completed.
Strategy
  • Athletes should come out of the gate a bit more conservatively in order to hold off the fatigue that will inevitably set in after a couple sets during this piece.
  • Finding a cadence on the box jumps and a pace on the thrusters that allows you to breathe but also keep working will become key shortly after the clock starts.

-Athletes who are more efficient on the barbell thruster may choose to push there, and catch their breath on the box.
