This is a timed workout. If you complete the round of 21, go on to 24. If you complete 24, go on to 27, etc.
Thrusters Rxd: women 65#/men 100# 

This was a repeated wod from 2011 Open 11.6, last year I got a score of 83, this year was 94 (which means that I completed the round of 15s and got 4 thrusters into the 18 round.

My thrusters have improved tremendously this year. You can see in the video I am trying to keep up with Corey's pace. He ended up with a score of 106. 

The Open 12.4

12.4
12 min AMRAP
150 Wall Balls (14# to 9' target)
90 Double unders
30 Muscle ups

score: 243
no, I didn't hurt my shoulder, watch the end to see what I mean


150 Wall balls done in about 7:30 mins which was better than expected
90 Double unders was harder than I thought it would be due to my quads being worked from WBS
Wish I'd had more time for the muscle ups since I generally like them, was really pushing for a fourth one to beat the clock
