Scaled the weight to 75lbs. Hit the 20 minute time cap somewhere around round 8 or 9, but finished all 10.
22:24.
This was a beast even scaled. Just tried to keep moving.

As rx’d, 21:42.
Well that was awful. Mostly went unbroken thrusters; 2 or 3 rounds I broke 6-3. DUs got better after a horrendous first round, but it’s been awhile since I’ve done a bunch in a workout. Tried to keep 2 min per round pace, but this fell off pretty bad in round 7 or so. This just ate my lunch from there on out. Felt low on energy – maybe time to slip in an extra rest day.

That is still a nice time - good work!
Something about this combo can be deeply draining.

Even at this slow pace, this totally sucked the life out of me.
Because of bad air quality I did this in our bedroom - no dropping the bar!

9 DB thruster 2x20# DBs
30 mountain climbers
10:48
due to the smoke of nearby wildfires, I had to do this one inside. The DBs were as heavy as I could get without hitting the ceiling.
Thrusters and mountain climbers are a nasty combination. Really burns the shoulders non-stop.

Felt like i spent eternity sucking wind and staring at the ground but also felt I was near max capacity the entire workout. I hate thrusters.
Glad this one is over.

During 10 second countdown: "Goal is unbroken."
After first round: "Ehhhh, 1 round every 2 minutes is a better idea."
Was just about done with 7 rounds when the rope handle broke off. Did the 8th set of thrusters (75lbs) and called it.
Double under - jumping, accuracy, just a touch more ROM
WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT
Part of a bigger test of fitness, probably as a stand-alone would be unbroken for good CrossFitters
TECHNIQUE SCALE
As is.
CONSISTENCY SCALE
Lighten up the weight. 10 rounds of: 45-sec thrusters, 1:15 double under practice
INTENSITY SCALE
Scale to a weight that thrusters can be unbroken and switch short-ish touch-and-go box jumps for double unders (try 18 per round)
MY STUFF
Went for quality with 55-lbs.on thrusters and one-foot jump ropes, alternating every 10.
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 8

“August 6, 2017
The previously announced loads for Heavy 17.5 have been reduced to 125 lb. for the men and 85 lb. for the women.
After Saturday night's event, CrossFit Games judges identified a miscalculation in the loading of the barbells. This change has no effect on the event or overall standings, as the loading of the barbells was consistent across all heats.”
