"6 Awesome Health & Fitness Apps"

WOD 130423

"Jackie"

For Time

1000m row

50 thrusters

30 Pull ups (assisted, if necessary)

** The thruster weights should be 35# for girls and 45# for the guys. If there is no 35# bar, replace it with 17.5 lbs or 15lbs dumbbell thrusters! Assisted pull ups should also be recommended for ANYONE that can't do pull ups without an assist. Keep core tight throughout all movements and keep that steady pace that'll get you through the whole workout. Good luck!**
