How would you strategize this WOD?

[priest4him]

5 Burpees to start and at the top of every minute

Then complete as many thrusters as possible until the minute is up and it’s a 100 thrusters.

Theres no time cap.



Edit to update all of you awesome humans:

Thrusters are one my favorite CrossFit movements.
I kept the reps under 12 for the first round (I didn’t want to get carried away and pay the price after) as suggested. I had a target number after that went 8 and 7s all the way. Finished @ 13:56 with #65

I’m 4’11 I guess thrusters and my small limbs get along! Thanks for the all the awesome advice y’all!

@priest4him Lol KALSU has no strategy. It has only suffering.

@priest4him Strategy: Kalsu is the hardest Crossfit workout I’ve ever done so I’d scale the thruster weight appropriately and just prepare to get rekt.

@catherine1192 Ah I thought this wod was called ‘Hotel hell’. Is this just a barbell variation on that?

@priest4him 2 thrusters a minute for 40 minutes, 1 thruster a minute after that. Done in a hour. All good

@inthewoods Underrated strategy

@priest4him If someone held a gun to my head and forced me to do Kalsu again, I would aim for 15 rounds of 4, 10 rounds of 3 and max out as much as possible in the remaining minutes. Try to stick to a number of reps per round that is manageable so that you can keep track of your numbers and not kill yourself in the second half. I would also suggest doing Kalsu at your Fran weight the first time you do it so you get a taste for whether RX is even possible for you.

Any way you slice it Kalsu falls into that category of wod that is, frankly, an unfun soulless grind. Try to go as far as you can but don’t feel in the slightest bit ashamed to drop the weight mid workout.

@merciet Honestly if someone held a gun to my head and forced me to do Kalsu again, I may just take the bullet
