    “Hope” has the same format as Fight Gone Bad. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. This is a five-minute round from which a one-minute break is allowed before repeating. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On call of “rotate,” the athlete/s must move to next station immediately for good score. One point is given for each rep.

  • Since 2005, CrossFit has posted workouts meant to honor CrossFit soldiers and first responders who made the ultimate sacrifice. A list of all Hero WODs can be found here.

  • In this workout you move from each of 5 stations after a minute. This is a 5-minute round after which a 1-minute break is allowed before repeating. We’ve used this in 3- and 5-round versions. The stations are:

    1. Wall-ball shots, 20-lb. ball, 10-foot target. (reps)
    2. Sumo deadlift high pulls, 75 lb. (reps)
    3. Box jumps, 20-inch box (reps)
    4. Push presses, 75 lb. (reps)
    5. Row for calories (calories)

    The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On the call of “rotate,” the athlete(s) must move to the next station immediately for a good score. One point is given for each rep, except on the rower where each calorie is 1 point.

  • Tabata intervals (20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest, repeated 8 times) is applied in turn to the squat, rower, pull-ups, sit-ups and push-ups with a 1-minute rotation break between exercises. Each exercise is scored by the weakest number of reps (calories on the rower) in each of the 8 intervals. During the 1-minute rotation the clock is not stopped but kept running. The score is the total of the scores from the five stations. Some performance insights and a scoring example from Mark Twight:

    1. Lying down between exercises lowers heart rate faster than standing, sitting or walking, indicating better recovery in the short 60-second rest.
    2. Alternating upright exercise (squat, pull-up) with prone or seated exercises produces lower heart rates and allows greater overall level of work.
    3. Rowing first reduces reps on all other exercises.
    4. Rowing reps are not seriously affected if done last.
    5. Improvement happens really fast when the workout is done consistently (bi-monthly).
    6. High number of reps may be maintained for greater number of sets as fitness improves. Rep totals do not necessarily improve per set, but now I can do 6 sets of 7 pull-ups rather than doing 11, 8, 5, 4, 4, 4, 4, 4, etc., which suggests that local area endurance and lactic acid tolerance improve with this protocol.

    Scoring Example:

    A total score of 53 (excellent score, by the way) is determined by adding up the lowest number of reps in any set of each exercise.

    18 squats

    4 pull-ups

    6 push-ups

    13 sit-ups

    12-calorie row (use the calorie counter and call each calorie a rep)

    This score is a 53.

  • Yes, that really is the WOD. It’s a max effort strength WOD rather than a metabolic conditioning WOD. It won’t leave you as “gassed” as Helen or Cindy will, but it will tax your muscles and nervous system heavily. See this thread on the message board for more discussion of the protocol, and this WOD demo for a visual.
