If you are veteran of the Games or a true fan, surely you will have already done 11.6. With what parts with advantage to face it with strategy and even make a brand. These are our advice so that Thrusters and C2B Do not end with you:
- Clean and fast movements
- Look for a rhythm not to drown in the longest rounds
- It expires when throwing the bar and inspires when making the squat in the Thrusters
- Go fast at first but without running too much
They are 7 minutes of time, but They will seem eternal if you have gone too fast at the beginning.
What material do I need by 18.5?
Is more than clear:- Knee For Thrusters
- Grips For C2B
- And if you see it necessary, wristbands To throw the bar above the head without suffering much
Have you noticed that Annie Thorisdottir uses the Azor Grips?
We, yes. Not during the announcement live last night, but in the presentation report of the athletes. Don't you believe us? Look, look ...
We continue without being responsible for it.
