We have a little play on the "Beep Test" today with some running mixed in to start and break up the rounds. Finding a methodical pace and the right places to breathe that let you keep moving and working will be key out the gate .Ideally each round should be about 5:00 or less.

Bar on the shelf
In the thrusters we’re encouraging athletes to keep the bar resting on the shoulder shelf for as long as possible. As athletes squat, the barbell remains on the shoulder, and it stays on the shoulders until the hips reach aggressive extension. The bar should make contact with the shoulders before the athlete squats.

If you need to manage a large class you can start athletes at varied stations.

Look For
Run | Shoulder Relaxation.
Shoulders should be relaxed and not hunched. Check for symmetry in shoulder movement.
Thrusters | Transition from Squat to Press.
Smooth transition from the squat phase to the overhead press. Ensure the hips fully extend before pressing the bar overhead.
Burpees | Feet.
Land with the feet flat and outside the hands.
Pull-ups | Elbow Position.
Monitor the position of the elbows during the pull-up. They should point down and slightly back, not flare out to the sides.

“Your obsessions become your possessions.” - Ed Mylett
The word “obsessed” gets a bad rap.
And there’s indeed some merit to that.
But let’s try to define “to be obsessed” a little further. What it’s not defined by is "hours put in". That may be correlation, but not causality. One is truly obsessed with something when their passion and fire for “that thing” is so great, that their willpower will see them through even the harshest of storms. Where every other person quits... they push on. To one who is obsessed, failure is simply not an option.
Be obsessed with reaching our dreams.
Be obsessed with becoming a better husband. A better wife.
A better son, a better daughter. A better friend, a better neighbor.
Be obsessed with what we care about the most. Our fiercest willpower, pointed in the right direction, is the most powerful thing in the world.
