Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 8 minutes of:
10 overhead squats
5 chest-to-bar pull-ups

♀ 65-lb barbell
♂ 95-lb barbell

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today we have 8 minutes of fast transitions — 100+ total reps, and no rest for the shoulders or grip. Think 80+ overhead squats and 40+ chest-to-bar pull-ups. This is a lot of work in a short time. Make it a goal to hold a round every minute, shooting for 8 rounds. Overhead squat loading must allow for straight arms overhead and a full depth, flat foot position at the bottom of the squat. Due to the expectation of fast transitions, the chest-to-bar option needs to be relatively easy for the first half of the workout, but as fatigue sets in, it will quickly become more challenging. For advanced athletes, shoot for 40-second rounds.

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is in honor of McCoy “Topsy” Turner. Turner was a beloved member of the CrossFit community and a former Seminar Staff Flowmaster, who died by suicide on March 8, 2025, after a long battle with complex post-traumatic stress. Turner served for 17 years in the Royal Navy, specializing as an exercise rehabilitation instructor. He was part of Operation Herrick when he served in Afghanistan before relocating to Bali and continuing his work in CrossFit education. Turner worked more than 250 seminars and exemplified excellence and service. Known for his warmth, kindness, and extreme selflessness, he touched the lives of many. Turner is survived by his sons, Brodie and Tommy.

This Hero workout is a triplet where you should attempt to move at a consistent pace throughout. Choose a thruster loading and ring muscle-up volume that allows you to complete unbroken sets each round. Row at a pace that allows for some recovery. Since this is a Hero workout, attempt it Rx'd if you can perform the movements safely and effectively, even if the intended stimulus is not met. Embrace the challenge.

♀ 95/105/120-lb barbell and a 20-inch box
♂ 135/155/175-lb barbell and a 24-inch box

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s effort is two descending rep-scheme efforts with a 5-minute rest between each. Go into each piece with a “sprint” mentality. In the first part, the loading of the cleans increases, and the reps decrease. Expect the pulling redundancy to be in full effect. Focus on getting full hip extension and driving your elbows around the bar. In both efforts, push the pace on the rower as you are able. Work hard and have fun today.

Compare to 080413.

Post reps to the comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is an interval sprint fest! Move fast, move well, find your threshold. Reps across all 5 rounds will be moderately challenging. They may feel slow in the moment, but you will think fast. The goal for each set is to perform 3-5+ reps within a 15-second work window, followed by 45 seconds of rest. The short workout window calls for unbroken movements. This is a one-to-three work/rest format, allowing for adequate recovery to push hard each round. Note that the recovery will feel shorter than you would like as the rounds compound. This is the battle! Can you maintain movement quality and rep consistency throughout the workout?

Intermediate option:

9 back squats

♀ 125-lb barbell
♂ 185-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a mix of longer monostructural efforts, while moving a moderate to heavy barbell. The loading of the barbell should be moderate and allow you to complete your set of 21 in 2 sets or less, but try to move at a smooth pace and push for unbroken reps. If available, take the barbell from a rack. If you are taking the barbell from the floor, consider using a weight you can safely get from the ground to your back rack. If you are uncomfortable transferring the barbell to the back rack, a front squat is a great alternative. For the row, move at a consistent pace, remember to breathe, and focus on your stroke rate. A manageable stroke rate will help you stay locked in and ready for your next set of back squats. If you want to push the pace, increase your stroke rate.

400-meter run
15 overhead squats

Rest with the remaining time.

♀ 65-lb barbell
♂ 95-lb barbell

Compare to Nancy on 241026.

Post round times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a twist on the classic benchmark Nancy. In this variation, you will have 5 minutes to complete a single round of Nancy, then rest with the remaining time. Once time is up, you will repeat until you complete 5 total sets. The goal is to sprint each round to give yourself as much rest as possible before the next round. Try to finish a round in 2-3 minutes. The loading of the barbell should allow you to complete your reps in 2 sets or less — ideally, unbroken if possible. Push the pace on the run, but only as fast as you can get back to the barbell and immediately pick it up.

Intermediate option:
Every 5 minutes for 25 minutes, complete:
400-meter run
10 overhead squats

5 hang power cleans
20-second L-sit hold

♀ 125-lb barbell
♂ 185-lb barbell

Post total rounds and reps to the comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a weightlifting and gymnastics couplet. The loading of the barbell should be moderate to heavy. Performing singles is totally appropriate; however, if you are able to perform a few touch-and-go sets, get after it. For the L-sit holds, choose a variation that allows you to complete your holds in 3 sets or fewer. Expect the fatigue of your hip flexors and your abdominals to make the hang power cleans more difficult.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:

10 rounds for time of:
5 back squats
3 muscle-ups

♀ 155-lb barbell
♂ 225-lb barbell

Post time to the comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout involves a challenging load on the back squat, combined with a high-skill gymnastics movement — both for a significant number of reps. The back-squat loading should be moderate to heavy and achievable for 5 reps on each round, but also challenging. It is recommended to take a little rest before unracking the bar and completing your reps. The muscle-up volume is challenging, but the goal is for 3 reps to be completed consecutively.

Intermediate option:
10 rounds for time of:
5 back squats
1 muscle-up or 3 false-grip chest-to-rings pull-ups

♀ 105-lb barbell

♀ 105-lb barbell
♂ 155-lb barbell

Post time to the comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a bit of a sprint. Expect your midline to be taxed and then force you to move a moderate load while under fatigue. Push for unbroken sets on the GHD and move quickly with the descending rep scheme. As for the barbell, aim to complete the snatches in 3 sets or fewer each round. Try not to stare at the barbell for too long. Get your hands back on it and go.

5 rounds for time of:
5 rope climbs to 15 feet
200-foot Zercher carry

♀ 105-lb barbell
♂ 155-lb barbell

Post time to the comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a longer-duration couplet. The high volume of rope climbs will be taxing for your grip. Be sure to find a sustainable pace to ensure you don't hit failure. If you are performing the Zercher carry, expect it to make the rope climbs more challenging. Be sure to manage your fatigue and rest as needed. Watch the video to see how to perform the Zercher carry. Find a loading that allows you to make it at least to the 100-foot mark before putting the bar down.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
3 rope climbs to 12 feet

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a descending-rep triplet that combines moderately heavy barbell work, paired with burpees. Choose a barbell load that allows you to move through the front squats in no more than 3 sets each round and perform quick singles on the power cleans. Plan to complete the largest set of lateral burpees over the bar in no more than 90 seconds.

Every minute on the minute for 8 minutes:
2 shoulder presses

Add weight every 2 minutes. Use 50-60% of the heaviest set for the workout.

Then,

4 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
12 shoulder presses

Post loads and time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a sneaky upper-body pressing stamina day. Expect these shoulder presses to be a bit more challenging with an elevated heart rate. The loading for intermediate and Rx'd athletes will be 50-60% of their heaviest set in the strength work. This loading should feel light to moderate and allow you to perform your reps in 2 sets or less. This is a good starting point, and you can always adjust as needed. Plan on taking the barbell out of a rack during the EMOM, but for the workout, you will take the barbell from the ground. Push the pace on each run. Get to the bar, pick it up, and get right to work.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:

7 rounds for time of:
7 deadlifts
5 hang power cleans
3 bar muscle-ups

♀ 105 lb
♂ 155 lb

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a triplet that will help prepare you for the Open, challenging you to hang onto the barbell for a higher-volume workout. Shoot to complete the deadlifts and hang power cleans in under 30 seconds each, never breaking more than once. Plan to go straight from the deadlifts into the hang power cleans each round — if you need a break, take it before the final deadlift to go straight into the hang power cleans. Choose a bar muscle-up number and/or variation that allows you to complete the reps in under 45 seconds each round. If you are working on performing the Rx'd variation of the bar muscle-ups, scale the volume to just a single rep each round. Expect the deadlifts and cleans to have a compounding effect on the bar muscle-ups. Pause before jumping up to the bar and maximize the efficiency of your kip.

Grace

For time:

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

Compare to 240329.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll tackle the classic CrossFit benchmark workout Grace, which should be a sprint! To get the most out of this workout, use a load that allows you to move well and cycle for 2-3 sets of 5 or more reps with very little rest between. The magic of this workout doesn't come from the volume of reps or the load, but how you push yourself to keep moving, hang on to the bar longer than you want, and immediately pick it back up when you don't want to. If you're scaling and can open with 20 unbroken reps, the load is likely too light. If you've done this workout before and have a score to beat that's within the 2- to 7-minute stimulus, go for it. If you have done this workout before and scaled, but think you can go heavier today, give it a shot. Even if you end up on the slower end of the intended time domain, that's OK for today.

U.S. Army First Lieutenant Daren M. Hidalgo, 24, of Waukesha, Wisconsin, assigned to 3rd Squadron, 2nd Stryker Cavalry Regiment, based in Vilseck, Germany, died on Feb. 20, 2011, in Kandahar province, Afghanistan, from wounds suffered when insurgents attacked his unit with an improvised explosive device. Two weeks before his death, he was hit by an earlier explosive device. Despite his injuries, he stayed in country and on patrols rather than return home. He is survived by his father Jorge, mother Andrea, brothers, Miles and Jared, and sister Carmen.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Happy New Year's Eve! Today’s workout is a Hero. If you have completed this workout in the past, look at your previous score to help navigate today’s attempt. Before the start of this workout, take a brief moment to remember why you are doing it — everybody has their own reasons. As always with a Hero workout, this is going to be a grind. Choose movement variations and loadings that allow you to keep moving.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell and plate. Reduce the distance of each run. Reduce the reps of each movement.

To reduce the complexity of the squat cleans, perform a hang squat clean. For the box jumps, reduce the height of the box. For the overhead walking lunges, perform walking lunges with a single dumbbell in the goblet position.

In case of injury or limitation, for the run, perform 3,200/4,000 meters on the rower or ski erg or 7,000/10,000 meters on the Echo bike. For the squat cleans, perform power cleans, plus a front squat, or power cleans if there is a squatting limitation. For the box jumps, perform box step-ups. For the overhead walking lunges, perform walking lunges with no weight.

♀ 225 lb
♂ 315 lb

Post the total number of double-unders and burpees completed and the time to complete the workout to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a combination of strength, stamina, and cardiorespiratory endurance. Keep in mind that this workout is not only for time, but also for total reps of double-unders and burpees. The loading of the barbell should be heavy, but allow you to complete the set of 21 in 4 sets or less, while maintaining proper form. If you are struggling to maintain a neutral spine, reduce the loading. Expect your heart rate to be significantly elevated after the double-unders and burpees. Take a few breaths to get yourself set before picking up the heavy barbell.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the double-unders, perform single-unders. For the burpees, perform up-downs.

In case of injury or limitation, perform sumo deadlifts with the barbell or a kettlebell. For the double-unders, perform lateral hops over a line or penguin taps. For the burpees, perform calories on any machine available.

For time:
30 snatches

♂ 135 lb

Post time to comments.

Compare to 240329.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a classic CrossFit benchmark. This effort elegantly combines technique of a complex lift and efficiency of cycling repetitions. The loading of the barbell should be moderate. If you can perform the prescribed loading safely and keep your overall time under 15 minutes, go for it. Otherwise, adjust the weight, dial in the technique, and get after it. If you have completed this workout in the past, look back at your loading and time to help you navigate today’s effort.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the snatch, perform hang snatches.

In case of injury or limitation, perform alternating dumbbell snatches. If there is an overhead limitation, perform cleans.

5 rounds for time of:
10 thrusters
20-second L-sit hold
30-second handstand hold

♀ 65 lb
♂ 95 lb

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout combines a movement with an extensive range of motion with two static holds. Expect this effort to be more metabolic than you think it might be. The thruster weight should be relatively light and allow you to perform your reps unbroken. For the holds, choose variations that allow you to complete both in 3 sets or fewer. Perform the handstand hold against a wall.

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the barbell. Reduce the duration of the holds. To reduce the complexity of the thrusters, perform the movement with a pair of dumbbells.

For the L-sit holds, bend the knees of one or both legs. For the handstand holds, perform pike holds or plank holds.

In case of injury or limitation, for the thrusters, perform single-arm dumbbell thrusters. If there is an overhead limitation, perform front squats. If there is a squatting limitation, perform push presses. For the L-sit holds, perform seated leg-raise holds. For the handstand holds, perform seated dumbbell shoulder press holds with one or two dumbbells.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
10 thrusters
20-second L-sit hold, both knees bent
30-second handstand hold

♀ 55 lb

♀ Bodyweight barbell
♂ Bodyweight barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a grind. The goal is to keep moving. Push the pace of the run, but only as much as you can get back to your barbell and right to work on your back-rack carry. For the back-rack carry, take the barbell out of a rack, if possible. Otherwise, if necessary, reduce the load and take the barbell from the ground. The loading for the back-rack carry should be moderate and uncomfortable after the first 100-200 meters. Push through the doubt and challenge yourself to walk the entire distance without putting the barbell down. If you do have to put it down, remember, you’ll have to pick it back up and get it on your back. Shut out the negative thoughts and have fun with this challenge.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of each movement. Reduce the loading of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the back-rack barbell carry, reduce the distance. For the walking lunge, perform a reverse lunge or reduce the range of motion.

In case of injury or limitation, for the 800-meter run, perform 1,750/2,500 meters on the Echo bike or 800/1,000 meters on the rower. For the back-rack barbell carry, perform the carry with one or two dumbbells in the front-rack position. For the walking lunge, perform low box step-ups.

Back squat 3-3-3-3-3 reps

Post loads to comments.

Compare to 230403.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today is a heavy day. Keep in mind that heavy is relative to each athlete's capacity and experience. As long as you are working to your limits, you will benefit from today’s effort. Experienced athletes should build to a heavy set of 3 and plan to go as heavy as possible across all sets. Newer athletes should start light, focus on mechanics, and slowly add weight as they are comfortable.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell to maintain safety and the integrity of the lift.

To adjust the complexity of the lift, consider performing goblet squats with a dumbbell or kettlebell.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider squatting with a single dumbbell or kettlebell. You can also perform weighted lunges or unloaded air squats.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
Same as Rx’d.

Coaching cues:
To initiate the squat, squeeze your belly tight, bring your ribs down toward your hips, and without disengaging the abdominals, press your hips back and down.

3 rounds for time of:
15 shoulder-to-overheads
30 burpee box jump-overs

♀ 95-lb barbell and a 20-inch box
♂ 135-lb barbell and a 24-inch box

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a grind with a bit of movement redundancy. Don’t expect this workout to be blazing fast; instead, think of this effort as smooth and steady. The loading of the barbell should be moderate. Some will be able to perform unbroken sets, while others should aim to break no more than once. For the shoulder-to-overheads, choose push presses or push jerks. The push press will have an increased cycle time, while the push jerk will help produce more reps. And the burpee box jump-overs are a marathon, not a sprint.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the reps of the burpee box jump-overs.

To reduce the complexity of the shoulder-to-overheads, consider using a pair of dumbbells or performing shoulder presses at a reduced load. For the burpee box jump-overs, reduce the height of the box or perform burpee box step-overs.

In case of injury or limitation, for the shoulder-to-overheads, consider single-dumbbell shoulder presses or push presses. For the burpee box jump-overs, perform up-downs, plus box step-overs. If necessary, eliminate the box and perform up-downs.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
15 shoulder-to-overheads
20 burpee box jump-overs

♀ 145-lb barbell
♂ 205-lb barbell

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a challenging triplet with a descending rep scheme. The two weightlifting movements are difficult because of the moderate-to-heavy loading while the gymnastics exercise challenges your strict pressing stamina. Manage your reps and avoid pushing to failure early on. Expect the deadlifts to be the easier of the two weightlifting movements. Break the hang squat cleans as needed, but remember, the more you drop the bar, the more you have to pick it up.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the strict ring dips, perform foot-assisted ring dips or jumping ring dips. If you are choosing foot-assisted dips, use your feet or foot as much or as little as needed while still maintaining a full range of motion. For the deadlifts and hang squat cleans, use a pair of dumbbells or a medicine ball.

In case of injury or limitation, for the ring dips, perform box/bench dips or push-ups. For the deadlifts, consider sumo deadlifts with a barbell or kettlebell. For the hang squat cleans, consider breaking the movement into its component pieces of a hang power clean, plus a front squat. In case of a limitation, you could perform hang power cleans or front squats.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a triplet with a descending rep scheme. The loading of the barbell should be moderate to heavy. Choose a weight that allows you to complete the reps in three sets or fewer. Push the pace on the rower and manage your reps on the wall walks. Breathe between reps and don’t burn out in the first set.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the distance on the rower.

To reduce the complexity of the hang squat cleans, use a pair of dumbbells or consider performing a hang power clean, plus a front squat for each rep. For the wall walks, reduce the range of motion by only taking 1-3 steps toward the wall.

In case of injury or limitation, for the row, perform a 600/400/200-meter run or 500/900/1,300-meter Echo bike. For the hang squat cleans, consider hang medicine-ball cleans or kettlebell swings, plus a goblet squat. For the wall walks, perform inchworms, plus a push-up for each rep.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a pyramid-style chipper. The loading of the barbell should be moderate and allow some athletes to perform at least a few touch-and-go reps, while others perform singles. Both options are fine. Expect the burpees and bike in the middle of the workout to be aerobically demanding. Manage your pace so you are able to keep moving and finish the second set of power cleans and rope climbs just as fast as your first set.

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the barbell. Reduce the reps of each movement.

To reduce the complexity of the power cleans, perform hang power cleans. For the rope climbs, reduce the height of the climb. For the bar-facing burpees, perform burpees in place.

In case of injury or limitation, for the rope climbs, perform pull-to-stands or strict pull-ups. For the power cleans, perform dumbbell power cleans or Russian kettlebell swings. For the bar-facing burpees, perform up-downs in place. For the calories on the bike, perform the calories on any machine available.

7 sets, each for load:
1 push jerk + 1 split jerk

Post loads to the comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a heavy day. Remember that heavy is relative to each person. Both the push jerk and the split jerk are technical lifts, so the loading today will be dictated by your proficiency with these movements. For each set, the barbell can be taken out of a rack. These are meant to be completed without putting the bar down between lifts. After the push jerk, lower the barbell to the shoulders and then perform the split jerk before putting the barbell down or reracking. Advanced athletes should increase the load across as many sets as possible. Athletes who are unfamiliar with the movements should focus on technique before increasing the weight.

Scaling:
To reduce the complexity of the push jerk, perform a push press or a shoulder press. For the split jerk, perform a push jerk. The complexity for both movements can be reduced by putting the barbell in the back-rack position. However, be sure to practice how to safely return the bar to the back-rack position. Doing this eliminates the need to pull the chin out of the way and starts the barbell at the center of the body.

In case of injury or limitation, perform a single-arm dumbbell push jerk or split jerk.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
7 sets, each for quality and load:
2 push presses + 1 push jerk

Coaching cues:
When in the split position, you want your feet about as wide as your squat stance. The distance between your feet should be no greater than a lunge. Put this length and width together, and you will have a stable receiving position.

3 rounds for time of:
25 deadlifts
800-meter run

♀ 155 lb
♂ 225 lb

Compare to 230618.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a longer-effort couplet. The deadlift weight should be moderate, but expect it to feel heavy after the first run. Choose a weight that allows you to complete your reps in 2 minutes or less. If you are looking for a challenge, try to complete the deadlifts with a double-overhand grip and without using a hook grip. No matter how good your deadlift is, this variation will deliver a good stimulus.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the distance on the run.

To reduce the complexity of the deadlift, consider elevating the barbell and reducing the range of motion. You may also consider a dumbbell deadlift.

In case of injury or limitation, for the deadlift, perform a sumo deadlift with the barbell or a kettlebell. If necessary, perform a good morning to eliminate the loading. For the 800-meter run, perform 1,750/2,500 meters on the Echo bike or 800/1,000 meters on the rower.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
20 deadlifts

10-8-6-4-2 reps for time of:
Power snatches
Overhead squats
Bar muscle-ups

♀ 125 lb
♂ 185 lb

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout breaks up the squat snatch into two separate movements. The loading of the barbell is meant to be moderate to heavy; many will have to perform the snatches as singles. On the final snatch, keep the barbell overhead and try to go unbroken on your overhead squats. On the bar muscle-ups, choose a variation or scaling option that allows you to complete your reps in 2 sets or fewer. Expect this workout to be a bit of a grind. Dig in, focus on your technique, and don’t miss any lifts.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the snatches, perform hang snatches or muscle snatches. For the overhead squats, if a full range of motion is not possible, consider overhead squats with a reduced range of motion to a target or an overhead lunge. For the bar muscle-ups, perform jumping bar muscle-ups, chest-to-bar pull-ups, or chin-over-bar pull-ups.

In case of injury or limitation, for the snatches, perform dumbbell snatches or power cleans if there is an overhead limitation. For the overhead squats, perform dumbbell overhead squats or lunges. If there is an overhead limitation, perform front squats or back squats. For the bar muscle-ups, consider ring rows, low-ring muscle-up transitions, or foot-assisted pull-ups.

5 rounds for time of:
500-meter row
15 bench presses

♀ 95 lb
♂ 135 lb

Compare to 230419.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a classic combination of pushing and pulling movement functions. In theory, neither movement should affect the other. The only question is, how fast can you row without needing too much rest before lifting the barbell? The loading of the barbell should be on the lighter side of moderate. This should allow you to perform consistent sets of 10 or more reps. As always with the bench press, if you are performing this workout by yourself or no one is around to help, be cautious of pushing to failure — always keep a few reps left in the tank.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the distance on the rower.

To reduce the complexity of the bench presses, perform dumbbell bench presses or dumbbell floor presses.

In case of injury or limitation, substitute a 400-meter run or 1,250-meter Echo bike. For the bench presses, perform single-arm dumbbell bench presses or push-ups.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
500-meter row
15 bench presses

♀ 75 lb
♂ 115 lb

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:

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

Compare to similar 230819.

Post loads to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today is a heavy day, and as always, heavy is relative to each athlete's capacity and experience. You will benefit from today's effort if you are working to your limits. Experienced athletes should build to a heavy set of 3 and plan to go as heavy as possible across all sets. Newer athletes should start light, focus on mechanics, and slowly add weight as they are comfortable. If you are feeling beat up from earlier in the week, dial the loading back and focus on moving through quality reps.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell as needed to maintain consistently sound mechanics.

To adjust the complexity of the lift, consider performing goblet squats with a dumbbell or kettlebell.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider squatting with a single dumbbell or kettlebell. You can also lunge with load or perform unloaded air squats.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
Front squat 5-5-5-5-5 reps

Coaching cues:
Let the elbows lead you out of the bottom of each squat. Find a target above your gaze and drive your elbows to that spot on every rep.

Complete as many reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
1 wall walk
1 clean and jerk

After each round, add 1 rep to the wall walks and 10 lb to the barbell until time expires.

♀ 145-lb barbell
♂ 205-lb barbell

Post reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is an ascending ladder of wall walks, coupled with increased loading in the clean and jerk. After each round, add 1 rep to the wall walks and 10 lb to the barbell until time expires. Your goal should be to complete 4-7 rounds. If you hit the workout as prescribed, your seventh round would be 7 wall walks and 1 clean and jerk at 265 lb. Adjust your loading and weight jumps according to the intended stimulus. Expect the wall walks to fatigue the shoulders and midline. This will ultimately make the jerk more challenging, so when moving through the workout, take your time on your lifts and don’t pick up the bar until you are confident.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the reps of the wall walks.

To reduce the complexity of the wall walks, reduce the range of motion. Consider only taking 2-4 steps back toward the wall. For the clean and jerks, perform hang cleans and push presses.

In case of injury or limitation, for the wall walks, consider performing inchworms with your feet on the floor or elevated on a box. For the clean and jerks, perform dumbbell clean and jerks. If there is an overhead limitation, perform cleans with no jerk.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
1 partial wall walk (2 steps toward the wall)
1 clean and jerk

After each round, add 1 rep to the wall walks and 10 lb to the barbell until time expires.

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

Beginner option:
