Death by thrusters?

I am writing this just over 6 hours before 16.5 is announced. That announcement fills me with no small amount of dread since it's almost guaranteed to include thrusters which is one of my greatest weaknesses (together with wallballs). My only hope is that it will be heavy low rep thrusters. While those still suck for me, they suck much more for most other people.

The thrusters are unlikely to be alone. They will probably be combined with something. Maybe boxjumps or overhead squats or SDHP? We'll know in a few hours.

This week's training volume was lower than usual due to a cold. Monday started with me skipping the morning wod (I've done enough wallballs during the preceding 4 days) and opting for gymnastics instead. Gymnastics was a lot of work in the rings where we spent some time upside down (which I didn't find at all comfortable) and where I got to use a lot of muscles I normally don't use, mostly in my shoulders (the left one still hurts from my muscle up attempts).

Tuesday  was a hard day with a tripple wod. 3-6-9-12-9-6-3 of first thrusters/boxjumps, followed by overhead squats/boxjumps and in the end front rack lunges/boxjumps. The weight was 45. Both squats and lunges worked reasonably well given the weight, but thrusters went really slow.

Wednesday was a Clean and Jerk Day. 90 went up fairly easily. I think I even push pressed it, but 92.5 (which also became my new power clean PR) refused to move from my shoulders. I need to do some split jerking at lower weights to get some confidence in that movement.
Grace went badly. I was hoping to go under 3 minutes, but failed miserably. I blame the cold.

The beer results are mixed. Wednesday I got an opportunity to taste some Finnish beers(pictures withheld to protect the guilty). None of them were exactly bad, but all of them were fairly boring.

On the other hand, Pango Feber IPA is a very nice fruity IPA from Brewski who are known for their fruity IPAs. This time they mixed Passion fruit, ananas and mango which I find a bit of an overkill. The single fruit IPAs were nicer. Next week is promising much more interesting beer consumption due to Malmö Beer Week
