♂ 275-lb barbell, 24-inch box, and 20-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a chipper that will challenge the entire body, with the lower-body fatigue really stacking up as you move through the workout. Expect the deadlifts to be demanding, but aim to complete them with no more than one break. Try to finish each set of pull-ups in 90 seconds or less.

The wall-ball shots will tax the legs and shoulders, so focus on maintaining larger sets and completing all reps in under 2 minutes. The box jumps may become the most challenging movement, especially after the other elements of the workout. Settle into a consistent, steady pace and aim to complete each set in under 3 minutes.

Row at a hard but controlled pace that still allows for a quick transition into the second set of box jumps. If the row will take longer than 4:30 to complete, consider scaling the distance.

5 rounds for time of:
22/30-calorie Echo bike
20 sumo deadlift high pulls
15 knees-to-elbows

♀ 65-lb barbell
♂ 95-lb barbell

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a longer-duration triplet with some intended grip interference. Expect to spend the most time on the bike — choose a calorie volume that allows you to finish in 3 minutes or less each round. Choose a light sumo deadlift high pull loading that allows you to complete the reps in 90 seconds or less each round. Scale knees-to-elbows volume to allow you to move back to the bike in 90 seconds or less each round.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a fun, shoulder-heavy workout with the combination of pushing, pulling, and pressing overhead. Aim to complete ring dips and pull-ups in 4 sets or fewer each round. Take your time on each rep of the Turkish get-ups, and ensure you maintain a locked-out arm overhead. Try to use the pull-ups as a brief reprieve from the tricep fatigue caused by the ring dips and the Turkish get-ups. As this workout goes on, prioritize maintaining the same full range of motion you had at the beginning of the workout.

Back squat 5-5-3-3-1-1-1 reps

Compare to similar 251020 and 250211.

Post loads to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a heavy day. Ensure all 7 sets are heavy enough to be actual working sets that will get you stronger. All sets should ideally be at least 80% of your 1-rep max or a load that feels moderately heavy. Look at your most recent heavy back squat day to help gauge your loads in today's effort. Today, you can build to a heavy single over the course of 7 working sets, but all sets should be challenging. Newer athletes can stick to sets of 3 reps at lighter loads and continue practicing sound mechanics. Heavy is the goal today, but always prioritize mechanics, only going as heavy as technique allows.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is fast-paced with barbell cycling. Choose a moderate barbell loading that allows you to perform the first set of cleans in no more than 2 sets. The second set may be a little different, considering exhaustion coming off the run. Cycle as many reps as possible, but avoid long breaks between sets. Perform singles if needed to keep moving and minimize rest. Push the pace on the run. Don't hold back.

Cindy

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 20 minutes of:
5 pull-ups
10 push-ups
15 air squats

Compare to 251125.

Post your rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a classic benchmark. Cindy remains an excellent test of gymnastics stamina and cardiorespiratory endurance. There are two ways to get a PR today. The first is to perform the same variation you did the last time and complete more reps and rounds. The second is to try a more difficult variation. To hit the stimulus, plan to complete a round in less than 90 seconds for the majority of the workout. Reduce volume to as few as 3 pull-ups, 6 push-ups, and 9 air squats as needed. Beginner athletes will work on a 2-minute clock for 10 rounds, using any remaining time in the interval to recover before the next. Advanced athletes with the capacity for completing 20+ rounds of this workout should consider wearing a vest. Be sure to record today's score and scaling options used to reference for retests and similar workouts throughout the year.

Intermediate option:

♀ 105/125/145-lb barbell
♂ 155/185/205-lb barbell

Post total reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is moderate-to-heavy lifting with a metabolic-conditioning stimulus, making it more challenging as your heart rate climbs. During the warm-up, find loads that let you complete 15+ reps at the first weight, 10+ at the second, and 5+ at the third. These will vary person to person, and that’s OK. If you train by percentages, aim for ~60%, 70–75%, and ~80%, respectively. Singles are a great way to keep the bar moving and manage rest. Touch-and-go reps are fine if you have them — but not if they lead to excessive rest.

2 rounds for time of:
1,600-meter run
15 deadlifts

♀ 225-lb barbell
♂ 315-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a longer metabolic workout with running and moderate-to-heavy deadlifts. Shoot to complete each run in 10 minutes or less and the deadlifts in 2 minutes or faster each round. Take time in the warm-up to work on deadlift mechanics and positioning. Remember, if you cannot maintain sound technique, you'll need to reduce the weight until you can. This will only get more challenging after each run. Advanced athletes should push the pace on the run, while intermediate and beginner athletes should be more conservative to maintain energy for the deadlifts.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a longer one that will challenge your overall endurance and place a significant demand on your legs and trunk. The goal is to complete the workout in under 30 minutes. The wall-ball shot volume is significant; try to maintain consistent sets of at least 15 reps with short rest, especially during the set of 75. Expect the sit-ups to be more challenging than you might think. Work to maintain full range of motion and keep breaks short — reduce the reps as needed. Try to maintain 10-15 calories per minute on the bike. Scale if needed to do so. The first round is about half the workout and should be finished by the 15-minute mark. If you fall out of this time domain, plan to scale subsequent rounds.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a relatively short workout with a challenging load on the jerks and a bit of volume of double-unders. Choose a challenging weight that still allows for no more than one short break on each round. Better to challenge yourself with a heavier load than to go too light. Shoot to get that first set of double-unders completed in under 2 minutes; scale as needed to do so. A hidden element of this workout is the redundancy, specifically with the jumping demands and shoulder fatigue. To aid with this, focus on maintaining hip extension on the jerks and aggressively pushing under the barbell to lock it out and stabilize it.

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

Compare to 221229.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we hit the fun Nasty Girls benchmark workout that combines moderately heavy weightlifting and gymnastics. Look back at your previous score to compare your last effort. This should be a sub-15-minute workout, and advanced athletes should push to finish in sub-10 minutes. Nasty Girls requires skill and strength endurance. Avoid going to failure, even if it means strategically resting a few reps before you think you need to. Remain smooth and steady on the air squats, while still shooting to complete the reps in 2 minutes or less. Scale muscle-ups to the most challenging gymnastics pulling movement you can perform for at least 3 unbroken reps. Choose a hang power clean load that allows you to chip through the reps in 1-3 sets each round.

100 front squats

♀ 45-lb barbell
♂ 65-lb barbell

Compare to 210718.

Post your time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is the CrossFit benchmark Andi. Try for large sets from start to finish, opening with at least 20 reps, several sets of 15, and never dropping to fewer than 10 reps at a time. If you're unable to do that, reduce load or volume as needed. In the warm-up, expect to demonstrate 15 sound, unbroken reps of each movement to proceed with that load in the workout. Don't take the light loads to mean that today is a day to go Rx'd when you usually don’t. Choose an easier load and make it feel challenging by moving faster. Note that with a light load and high volume, it's easier to shorten your range of motion or move poorly as you fatigue. Maintain a full range of motion through all movements, and don't be surprised if you're slowed down to improve your technique at some point.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a longer-duration effort and allows you to spend time upside down while out of breath. Keep the pace fast on the run, but stay relaxed so you are able to come right in and get to the handstand walk. Try to complete the handstand walk in 2 minutes or less. Push the pace on the step-ups and aim to complete each set in 2 minutes or faster. Even as you fatigue, ensure you stand all the way up on each step-up.

Compare to similar 260128.

Post loads to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a classic heavy day. Look back to Jan. 28 to find your last heavy 5-rep deadlift loads and help gauge your target loading today. Plan to lift heavy relative to your capacity. Aim to find challenging sets of 10, 7, and 3, with the set of 3 being your heaviest. Newer athletes and those who struggle to maintain sound mechanics on the deadlift will hold at lighter weights to improve mechanics and consistency before challenging near-maximal loads.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on 4 sets of 8 heavy overhead squats, followed by a fast AMRAP. Plan to record your heaviest lift that meets the full range of motion with quality. Plan to start a new set every 4 minutes for about 15 minutes total. After that, we get to load it down, but spice it up with a 6-minute AMRAP. The goal is to practice sound overhead squat technique for big sets of 15 or more at conditioning speeds. The deficit push-up adds a little more fun to the workout and will challenge the Murph-proficient athletes, while allowing all athletes to try a new range of motion. We are looking for a comfortable set of 10 consecutive reps to be cleared for the full sets of 30. Scale the reps before varying the movement — 15 reps per round will do the job.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we have a Hero workout in honor of Chief Warrant Officer 3 Andrew “Drew” Gunnison Cully, 35, of Ozark, Missouri, and the legendary Night Stalkers of C Company, 4th Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). Cully died on Sept. 17, 2025, when his MH-60M Black Hawk helicopter crashed during a training mission near Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington. He was serving with C Company, 4th Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR) — the legendary Night Stalkers. Born May 12, 1990, in Springfield, Missouri, Cully graduated from Missouri State University, was commissioned as a second lieutenant in 2013, and advanced to captain. He later achieved CW3, served as an instructor pilot, earned a master’s degree, and was selected for the elite 160th SOAR. He is survived by his wife, Layne, and children, Lennox and Abbott.

Each section of this workout honors one of the heroes who died in that helicopter crash. As with many Hero workouts, this workout is a long grind and is more about the effort and your mindset than the scoreboard. The pull-ups and push-ups are challenging, but each movement should not take longer than 1:30 to complete on any round. The deadlifts are intended to be moderately heavy, where 4 reps can be completed consecutively. Try to complete Kraus in under 5 minutes, Scott in under 6 minutes, Good in under 7 minutes, Cully in under 8 minutes, and the step-ups in under 15 minutes.

10 rounds for time of:
2 rope climbs to 15 feet
10 GHD sit-ups
25 double-unders

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Get ready for a longer triplet today. Manage rest early on the rope climbs and GHD sit-ups to ensure you never hit failure on either movement. Aim to finish the rope climbs in less than 45 seconds each round and the GHD sit-ups and double-unders in less than 30 seconds each round. Be mindful of wasted time during transitions. Simply prolonging each transition by 5 seconds will lead to an additional 2 or more minutes of workout time.

Intermediate option:
10 rounds for time of:
1 rope climb to 15 feet
7 GHD sit-ups to parallel
30 seconds of double-under attempts

Beginner option:
7 rounds for time of:
2 pull-to-stands
10 AbMat sit-ups
15 penguin taps

Hang squat clean 2-2-2-2-2-2-2 reps

Compare to 240115.

Post loads to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll build to a heavy double hang squat clean — plan to have some fun and lift heavy. Look back at your last 2-rep hang squat clean in January 2024 to help gauge your effort and goal for the day. Hit the first set around 70-75% of your 1-rep-max clean. Advanced athletes should build to a max for the day, potentially hitting a PR. If this movement is new for you, plan to find a challenging load that still allows you to practice pulling under the bar quickly with sound mechanics.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a movement redundant couplet. Expect upper-body pulling and hip flexor fatigue on the rower to challenge your muscle-up sets. Emphasize long legs on the muscle-up to ensure an efficient kip. Push the pace on the rower as you are able; however, be sure to maintain legs before arms to avoid blowing up before getting to the rings. Perform sets on the rings that limit your chance of reaching failure. Consider fast sets of 2-5 reps, depending on your capacity. If necessary, use the rower as a place to recover and focus on your leg drive, sitting up tall, and breathing.

♂ 20-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target and a 24-inch box

Compare to 240330.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is the CrossFit benchmark Kelly. Kelly is a long grind, but the goal is to keep moving throughout. This workout rewards consistency. If you need to take a few extra breaths, do so during your transition to the next movement. Maintain large chunks of box jumps and wall-ball shots. Try to keep moving on the box jumps and perform the wall-ball shots in 2 sets or fewer in each round. You can recover a bit on the run, but don't take longer than 2:15. You can afford to run a little slower if it means faster and bigger sets on the other movements. If scaled correctly, a single round should take no more than 6 minutes to complete.

Intermediate option:
4 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
20 box jumps

Front squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps

Compare to 260120.

Post loads to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you get to lift heavy relative to your capacity. The effort should require all of your focus and attention to execute each set. Look back to Jan. 20, 2026, to see your most recent 3-rep front squat. Or if you are familiar with a recent 1-rep-max front squat, lift around 70% or more. Perform a new set every 3-4 minutes to give ample rest between lifts. If you don't feel like you need that much rest, go heavier as long as mechanics allow.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
3 wall walks
15 burpees
60 double-unders

Post total reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we have a fast-paced workout. Try to complete each of the three movements in 3 minutes or less to start. Be prepared for the wall walks to make the burpees more challenging as you start to fatigue; scale as needed to maintain the intended time domain. Make sure you keep your shoulders relaxed during the double-unders to give them a break before going back to the wall walks.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
2 wall walks
15 burpees
40 double-unders

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
3 inchworm + push-ups
10 burpees or up-downs
40 single-unders

Rest 1 minute between rounds.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This is a high-rep and grippy workout. Keep in mind, we did pull-ups on Saturday, but at a lower intensity. This redundancy is intentional, but if you are sore, consider reducing the reps or decreasing the difficulty of the movement to keep intensity high. The deadlifts are light, but the volume will fatigue the posterior, making the last run so much fun. Buckle up for a fight when you hit the last 400 meters. Try to complete both runs between 3:30 and 4:30. The pull-ups and deadlifts should be completed in under 10 minutes and can be partitioned any way. For scaling, consider what can be completed in under 1 minute, and that rep scheme or movement variation will be your prescription. Examples per minute include 10 pull-ups/10 deadlifts (8 minutes of work), 8 pull-ups/8 deadlifts (10 minutes). If you cannot sustain a cadence of 8/8, reduce volume and or modify the movement selection. The first half of this workout should feel manageable. The second half is the real test.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This workout will be a grind for most athletes. Expect the L pull-ups to be the most challenging, but if you have the capacity, give them a try, even if you need to reduce the reps or use a band. On the thrusters, try for big sets. You can almost always do another rep with the empty bar — you may not want to, but today is the day to go for it.

♀ 155-lb barbell and a 24-inch box
♂ 225-lb barbell and a 30-inch box

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we have taller box jumps paired with heavy hang power cleans. Expect this to be a very high-power output workout that will challenge you more with each round. Choose a weight and height that allows you to maintain unbroken sets through the first several rounds. Be prepared to take a quick break after each set of box jumps to ensure you’re ready for that heavy barbell. Set that hook grip and get full hip extension on each rep.

Intermediate option:

5 box jump-overs
5 hang power cleans
