Tentative efforts lead to tentative outcomes. Therefore, give yourself fully to your endeavors. Decide to construct your character through excellent actions, and determine to pay the price for a worthy goal. The trials you encounter will introduce you to your strengths. Remain steadfast… and one day you will build something that endures, something worthy of your potential. -Epictetus

A Walk in the Park
for time: do 50 scissor jumps then, 5 rounds of: 5 x barbell thrusters, 135 lb (or 75% body weight) 5 x Turkish get-ups per arm, DB (total of 10 reps) then, 50 scissor jumps
this was a good one; tough on the shoulders. I tried out a few different DB weights for the turkish get-ups beforehand and decided to use 35 lb DB. My concern was blasting my shoulders with heavier weight and not being able to complete the thrusters. Did wod as rx'd in 20:31.
TGU hit my shoulder hard need to work on those. Used 35 lb DB. Thrusters heavy but felt good. forgot to do 50 jumping lunges before starting so I did 100 at the end. Finished in 21:34.
Use DB of your choice, try to stay between 20-50 lb on DB. check link below for good turkish get-up form
