For Time
20 Thrusters (135/95 lbs)
20 Sumo Deadlift High Pulls (135/95 lbs)
20 Push Jerks (135/95 lbs)
20 Overhead Squats (135/95 lbs)
20 Front Squats (135/95 lbs)
4 Burpees at the top of each minute
On paper "TOP GUN" is just a heavier version of the 2009 CrossFit Games workout, "AIR FORCE" (wodwell.com/wod/air-force/) (95/65 lb), but with a heavier barbell this becomes a whole different beast of a workout. Jason and Adam both said they underestimated the burpees, too...where "only 4 burpees" added up to 60 total for Adam, who finished in 15:55, and 76 for Jason who did his last front squat at 19:42. Jason opted - twice - to rest between sets of burpees, which caused him to lose significant time, but allowed him to catch his breath and get more work done when he did pick up the barbell. For both athletes it was the overhead squats that were most challenging and took up the most rounds.

Great work! Loved the grit and grind of both athletes

[@wodwell]

+Johnny Anthony Agree! They both worked hard!

[@pardeepfitnessrocks]

Superb workout 💪

[@samshrewsbury9185]

Great to see this wod done, felt sorry for Jason towards the end, especially when he asked for a bucket.

[@wodwell]

So brutal! 10:13 - that moment when he says "I'm gonna need a bucket."

[@PhantomCucu]

Too easy. You should add 20 series of Mike Tyson pushups ( 20x100 ) 👀💪😂

[@alejandrogp2242]

arriba mi Venezuela!

[@wodwell]

Venezuela is well represented at United Barbell!

Great job guys. Crazy hard workout, worse than rx murph for me, actually this is the worst workout I've ever done. I'm about 135lbs so I did the women's Rx at 95 in 16 minutes. Everything past 11 minutes was a no rep, literally slobbering all over myself trying to breathe, the burpees were just laying down and getting back up all wobbly with my eyes closed. I threw up after, passed out on my yoga mat and dumped a bottle of water on my head. I laid there for about 15 minutes and finally got up. Woooooo...

[@wodwell]

Amazing recap!

[@michaeldenesyk3195]

GReat work, I just have one comment to make. TopGun is a US Navy term, not a USAF thing.

[@bodyfunction8927]

Hah....that is just awful....great job guys!!

[@SMITTY-uj8qx]

i hate to be "that guy" but Top Gun is the Navy's elite jet fighters, Red Flag is Air Forces version of Top Gun. But Top Gun sounds better.

[@wodwell]

+14SMITTY02 I actually didn't know that. Interesting. Not sure who named the wod but yeah it may have been just that it sounded good. Or maybe it was a shout out to the Navy.
