Thrusters are coming. Every last workout of The CrossFit Games Open has ALWAYS included thrusters.

The question is what will it paired with? A lot of people are guessing double unders. I think it’ll be a couplet of doable work- the difference will be who wants it more. Who gets into the pain cave and thrives in there.

Any thoughts?

Practice this yesterday! And today! And tomorrow!

Breathing exercises are becoming more popular in the training world, even though it’s something we all already do. The Valsalva Maneuver, Pranayama, and others have been around forever. Wim Hof has popularized a scientifically-backed method that feels crazy when you practice it enough.

For those who’ve chatted with me in the past couple of months know I’ve been mentioning Wim Hof over and over, but this video does a great job of summarizing what it is, how to do it, and what the expected outcome is. The Iceman also has an app out there if you are interested.
