CrossFit's Workout Of The Day

10 rounds for time of:
60-foot sandbag bear-hug carry
7/10-calorie Echo bike

Rest 1 minute between rounds.

Post total time and load to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on 10 sprint-style efforts with a short break after each round. The loading for the workout is up to you, so choose a weight for the sandbag carry that is challenging but will allow for unbroken sets for all 10 rounds. If there is no sandbag available, perform the carry with two kettlebells in the rack position. Complete the Echo bike calories in 45 seconds or less each round; scale volume if needed to do so. Push the pace from the start.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:
7 rounds for time of:
60-foot medicine-ball bear-hug carry
5/7-calorie Echo bike

Rest 1 minute between rounds.

Rest 90 seconds

Then, on a 90-second clock, complete:
200/250-meter row
Max-reps strict ring dips

Rest 90 seconds

Post reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout consists of pulling and pressing intervals. The goal is to finish each row in 1 minute or less and have around 30 seconds to perform the strict pressing movement. The one-to-one work-to-rest ratio should allow for just enough rest and an opportunity to push the pace on each row.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance on the row.

To reduce the complexity of the strict handstand push-ups, decrease the range of motion by placing one or two AbMats or mats underneath your head. For the strict ring dips, perform foot-assisted ring dips.

In case of injury or limitation, for the row, perform a 200-meter run or 500/700-meter Echo bike. For the strict handstand push-ups, perform pike push-ups or seated dumbbell shoulder presses. For the strict ring dips, perform bench or box dips or banded tricep press-downs.

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.

3 rounds, each for time:
1,600-meter run

Rest 5 minutes between efforts.

Post all three times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s effort is three individual mile runs. Compare each mile to your split times of the most recent 5K run two weeks ago. The goal is to push the pace on each mile faster than those splits. The rest between sets should allow you to recover enough to push each effort.

Scaling:
To reduce the volume of this effort, cut the distances in half.

Today is a day when most athletes can perform this as prescribed. However, if you are new or less experienced, complete the beginner option.

In case of injury or limitation, perform 3,500/5,000 meters on the Echo bike or 1,600/2,000 meters on the rower.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
3 rounds, each for time:
800-meter run

Rest 5 minutes between efforts.

Coaching cues:
Check your running posture — relax your shoulders, keep your torso upright, and set your gaze directly ahead of you. Maintaining a neutral spine and sound running posture will allow for more efficient running technique, reduced fatigue, and improved recovery.

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
10 chest-to-bar pull-ups
10-calorie Echo bike

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a couplet and gives Fran vibes. Expect your legs to get gassed by the bike, and at some point, your arms will reach stamina failure/fatigue. Manage your pace on the bike to allow yourself a chance to breathe and get oxygen into your system. Manage your reps on the pull-ups — don’t push yourself to failure too soon. Instead, consider smaller sets, like 5/5 or 4/3/3, with quick breaks.

Scaling:
Reduce the repetitions of each movement.

To reduce the complexity of the chest-to-bar pull-ups, decrease the range of motion.

In case of injury or limitation, for the chest-to-bar pull-ups, perform jumping pull-ups or ring rows. For the Echo bike, choose any available machine.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
8 pull-ups
8-calorie Echo bike

Beginner option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
6 jumping pull-ups
6-calorie Echo bike

Rest 30 seconds after each set.

Coaching cues:
On the chest-to-bar pull-ups, consider placing your hands slightly wider on the pull-up bar than normal. This will reduce the range of motion and make it easier to get your chest to the bar.

For time:
800-meter run
400-meter back-rack barbell carry
200-meter walking lunge

♀ 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.

Intermediate option:
For time:
800-meter run
400-meter back-rack barbell carry
200-meter walking lunge

♀ ¾-bodyweight barbell
♂ ¾-bodyweight barbell

Beginner option:
For time:
400-meter run
200-meter back-rack barbell carry
50-meter walking lunge

♀ 35-lb barbell
♂ 45-lb barbell

Coaching cues:
During the back-rack carry, place your hands just outside your shoulders and drive the elbows back toward the backside of your body. This will give your upper-back muscles a better opportunity to create a shelf to support the barbell.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
If executed properly, this workout challenges the boundaries of human performance and requires no equipment. It's a fantastic test of stamina, endurance, and mental fortitude. Experienced athletes should try for a PR on this benchmark. Look at your previous time to help determine an appropriate pace. Newer athletes should reduce the distance to complete the run in no more than 20 minutes.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the run.

In case of injury or limitation, consider 11,200/16,000 meters on the Echo bike or 4,000/5,000 meters on the rower or ski erg.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d

Beginner option:
On a 20-minute clock:
Run for distance

Coaching cues:
To avoid inefficient movement patterns while you run, imagine you’re running on the crossties of a railroad track, keeping your feet right under your body and landing on the balls of your feet.

400-meter row
8 hang squat cleans
4 wall walks
200-meter row
4 hang squat cleans
2 wall walks

♀ 125 lb
♂ 185 lb

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.

Intermediate option:
For time:
600-meter row
12 hang squat cleans
6 partial wall walks (2 steps toward the wall)

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
400-meter run
30-second kettlebell front-rack hold

♀ 53-lb kettlebells
♂ 70-lb kettlebells

Post rounds to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout challenges your midline in a static hold. Static holds are often more difficult than dynamic movements because they require sustained muscle contraction with no relief, which limits blood flow and engages fewer muscle fibers than dynamic movements. Focus on your breathing and always try to hold for one more second before breaking. Unless you are completing the holds unbroken in every set, think of the run as a recovery. Feel free to push the pace, but you should be able to get back to the hold and perform at least 15 seconds before resting.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the run. Reduce the load of the hold.

To reduce the complexity of the kettlebell front-rack hold, perform the hold with a single kettlebell in the goblet position.

In case of injury or limitation, for the kettlebell front-rack holds, perform plank holds. Consider performing 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike, or 400/500 meters on the rower or ski erg instead of the run.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
400-meter run
30-second kettlebell front-rack hold

♀ 35-lb kettlebells
♂ 53-lb kettlebells

Beginner option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
200-meter run
30-second single-kettlebell goblet hold

♀ 18-lb kettlebells
♂ 26-lb kettlebells

Coaching cues:
On the kettlebell front-rack hold, think about bringing your ribs to your hips. As you do this, squeeze your glutes and thighs. This will keep your midline solid.

20 bar-facing burpees
10 power cleans
5 rope climbs to 15 feet

♀ 105 lb
♂ 155 lb

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.

Intermediate option:
For time:
3 rope climbs to 12 feet
10 power cleans
20 bar-facing burpees
40-calorie Echo bike
20 bar-facing burpees

15 bar-facing burpees
20-calorie Echo bike
15 bar-facing burpees
10 power cleans
3 pull-to-stands

♀ 35 lb
♂ 45 lb

Coaching cues:
On the bar-facing burpees, consider stepping the feet as you come up out of the burpee. This will make the jump distance over the bar more consistent, and you can manage your heart rate going into the next movements.

5 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
75 double-unders

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a monostructural couplet. Push the pace on the run and try to maintain consistent sets of double-unders. Try to finish each set of double-unders in 2 minutes or less. Advanced athletes should try to maintain unbroken sets. Expect this workout to test your lungs and your ability to tackle a neurologically demanding movement — the double-under — when you are tired.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the run. Reduce the reps of the double-unders.

To reduce the complexity of the double-unders, perform attempts for 1 minute.

In case of injury or limitation, for the run, complete 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike, or 400/500 meters on the rower or ski erg. For the double-unders, perform single-unders, lateral hops, or penguin taps.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
35-40 double-unders or 1 minute of double-under attempts

Beginner option:
4 rounds for time of:
200-meter run
50 single-unders or 1 minute of double-under attempts

Coaching cues:
As you are running, think about leading with your hips and picking your feet straight up off the ground.

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
800-meter run

♀ 125 lb
♂ 185 lb

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
15 deadlifts
400-meter run

♀ 55 lb
♂ 75 lb

Coaching cues:
As you are deadlifting, imagine someone is trying to pull the bar away from your body. Don’t let them have it. Keep the barbell close to the body, both on the way up and on the way down.

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:
500-meter row
15 bench presses

♀ 45 lb
♂ 75 lb

Coaching cues:
In the bench press, your legs are just as important as your upper body. Drive your feet into the ground, squeeze your glutes, and drive the barbell away from your chest.

3 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
45 AbMat sit-ups
15 kettlebell snatches, right arm
15 kettlebell snatches, left arm
15 lateral burpees over the kettlebell*

*Lay the kettlebell on its side for the burpees.

♀ 26-lb kettlebell
♂ 35-lb kettlebell

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout covers all the essentials. The lighter loading is meant to allow you to maintain larger sets and keep moving. Advanced athletes should attempt to go unbroken through as many sets as possible. Expect your fatigued midline from the sit-ups to make the rest of the movements a bit more challenging. Be sure to lay the kettlebell on its side when you are performing the lateral burpees over the kettlebell.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the run. Reduce the loading of the kettlebell. Reduce the reps of each movement.

To reduce the complexity of the kettlebell snatch, perform single-arm kettlebell Russian swings. For the AbMat sit-ups, perform feet-anchored sit-ups.

In case of injury or limitation, for the 400-meter run, perform 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike or 400/500 meters on the rower. For the AbMat sit-ups, perform seated leg raises or single-leg raises. For the kettlebell snatches, perform hang dumbbell snatches or single-arm kettlebell cleans. For the burpees, perform up-downs.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:

5 rounds for time of:
12/15-calorie Echo bike
7 strict chest-to-bar pull-ups

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a “sprinty” couplet. The bike efforts are meant to be fast, while the strict gymnastics movement is meant to be more challenging. At some point in this workout, singles on the strict chest-to-bar pull-ups are totally appropriate. That being said, don’t “game” it; push the pace on the bike and work through the gymnastics movement under fatigue.

Scaling:
Reduce the calories on the bike. Reduce the reps of the chest-to-bar pull-ups.

To reduce the complexity of the chest-to-bar pull-ups, reduce the range of motion. Consider chin-over-bar pull-ups or strict banded pull-ups.

In case of injury or limitation, perform the calories on any machine available. For the chest-to-bar pull-ups, perform a challenging ring row or foot-assisted pull-up.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
10/12-calorie Echo bike
7 strict pull-ups

Beginner option:
5 rounds for time of:

Post your fastest and slowest times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
In today’s workout, push the pace of each run. Don’t hold back and don’t “game” your efforts. Aim to complete each run in 2:15 or less, which will give you a one-to-one work-to-rest ratio. If you can perform today’s workout on a track, do it. Otherwise, Godspeed to all of the undulating 400-meter runs out there.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of each run.

In case of injury or limitation, perform 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike or 400/500 meters on the rower.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a bit of a choose-your-own-adventure, depending on how you feel from yesterday. That being said, today is an opportunity to lift heavy and push the intensity on the bike. Can you lift just as much weight on your second power clean attempt as you did on your first? Do you “game” the bike in an attempt to match your clean weight? Or do you hold nothing back and let the chips land where they may? Either way, work hard today and have fun.

Scaling:
To reduce the complexity of the power cleans, reduce the loading and focus on your technique. You may also consider performing hang power cleans.

In case of injury or limitation, perform your calories on any machine available. For the power cleans, consider dumbbell power cleans, Russian kettlebell swings, or even medicine-ball cleans.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
Same as Rx’d.

Coaching cues:
As the power cleans get heavier, the instinct is to try and “sneak” under the barbell. Instead, focus on standing up as tall as you possibly can, then pull yourself underneath the barbell.

800-meter run
80 air squats
8 muscle-ups

Compare to 150808.

Post rounds and reps to the comments.

U.S. Army Captain John D. Hortman, 30, of Inman, South Carolina, assigned to the 1st Battalion, 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, based in Fort Campbell, Kentucky, died on Aug. 8, 2011, in Fort Benning, Georgia, in a helicopter accident during a military training exercise. He is survived by his mother Brenda Jones; sister Jill Hortman; and brother Andy Pierce.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a longer-duration effort and is meant to be a grind. With a 45-minute clock, it may be difficult to see the light at the end of the tunnel. Take this Hero workout one round at a time, and don’t pay attention to the clock. Focus on your reps, your technique, and the reason why you are doing this workout today. Whether you are capable of performing 8 muscle-ups unbroken or you need to perform singles, hit this as prescribed, if possible. If you don’t yet have a muscle-up, see the options below.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the run. Reduce the repetitions of the squats and muscle-ups. Reduce the overall duration of the effort.

To reduce the complexity of the ring muscle-ups, consider jumping ring muscle-ups or a challenging variation of a low-ring transition.

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 air squats, consider squatting to a target that provides a pain-free range of motion. Alternatively, consider reverse lunges or low box step-ups. For the ring muscle-ups, consider low-ring transitions or ring rows.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 45 minutes of:
800-meter run
80 air squats
5 jumping muscle-ups

Beginner option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
400-meter run
20 air squats
8 low-ring muscle-up transitions

Coaching cues:
If you are performing low-ring transitions in this workout, remember that this is a leg-driven movement. Focus on using the legs to help drive your body up to the rings. To increase the difficulty, raise the height of the rings or decrease the involvement of the legs.

800-meter run
30 dumbbell hang squat cleans
200-meter dumbbell front-rack carry

♀ 20-lb dumbbells
♂ 35-lb dumbbells

Post times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a bit of a grind, challenging your stamina, endurance, midline, and mental fortitude. Use a weight for the dumbbell hang squat cleans that allows you to complete your reps in 3 sets or less. If you can hang on for bigger chunks, do it. The dumbbell front-rack carry is meant to be mentally and physically tough. For the carry, don’t rest the dumbbells vertically on the shoulders. Instead, try to maintain a true dumbbell front-rack position with one head of the dumbbell resting on the shoulder, the hand on the handle, and the elbows up. Embrace your time spent with these dumbbells and have fun.

Scaling:
Reduce the weight of the dumbbells. Reduce the distance of the run and front-rack carry.

To reduce the complexity of the hang squat cleans, perform hang medicine-ball cleans, or reduce the reps and perform hang power cleans plus a front squat. For the front-rack carry, use a single dumbbell.

In case of injury or limitation, for the hang squat cleans, consider dumbbell or kettlebell goblet squats or air squats. For the front-rack carry, consider a farmers carry. For the 800-meter run, perform 1,750/2,500 meters on the Echo bike or 800/1,000 meters on the rower.

Compare to 250513.

Post times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a weightlifting and monostructural couplet. Use caution when pushing the pace on the bike. That strategy may make the bench presses more difficult than necessary. Instead, adjust your pace so you can maintain bigger chunks of reps on the bench. The loading of the barbell should be moderate to heavy and allow you to maintain consistent sets of 5-7 reps. Avoid pushing to failure on the bench presses unless you have a spotter. If you do not have a spotter, take extra time to rest between sets and only perform reps you know you can complete.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading and volume of the barbell. Reduce the calories on the bike.

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

In case of injury or limitation, perform the calories on any machine available. For the bench presses, perform single-arm dumbbell bench presses or push-ups.

Intermediate option:
21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps for time of:

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a longer-duration grind. Fill up a backpack and get outside. If you’re new to rucking or a newer athlete, move at a march pace and reduce the distance to complete the run or ruck in no more than 35 minutes. If you’re more experienced, feel free to pick up the pace. For the 4-mile run option, consider your recent 5K run effort and attempt to hold a slightly more manageable pace. For clarity, the run option is meant to be completed without load.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the ruck. Reduce the distance.

To reduce the complexity of the ruck, walk or jog without any weight.

In case of injury or limitation, perform 15,000 meters on an Echo bike, or 7,000 meters on a rower or ski erg.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
For time:

Post reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
In today’s workout, the question is: How hard can you push the pace on the bike and still keep moving on the GHD sit-ups and double-unders? One strategy might be to hold a consistent RPM/cadence for each interval, while another strategy may be to increase the pace on the bike as the time goes down. For the GHD and the double-unders, aim to move for as much of the minute as possible.

Scaling:
Reduce the overall time of each movement.

If you are not familiar with or have not been training consistently with the GHD, reduce the complexity of the GHD sit-ups by reducing the range of motion to parallel. For the double-unders, perform single-unders.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider performing sit-ups, V-ups, or hollow rocks for the GHD sit-ups. For the double-unders, consider performing lateral line hops or penguin taps. For the bike calories, complete these on any available machine.

Extended Helen

5 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
21 kettlebell swings
12 pull-ups

♀ 35 lb
♂ 53 lb

Compare to similar 250625.

Post times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Helen is a classic benchmark known for being a simple workout that packs a potent punch. Today’s variation extends the effort and tests your stamina with these movements. Can you maintain your standard Helen pace, or does fatigue set in and force you to slow down? The challenge lies in trying to hold the pace you would hold for the 3-round effort. Just like the original workout, complete the swings and pull-ups in 2 sets or fewer. More advanced athletes should aim to maintain unbroken swings and pull-ups for as many sets as possible.

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the kettlebell. Reduce the distance of the run.

To reduce the demands of the pull-ups, consider reducing the reps to 6-8, or complete jumping pull-ups. For the kettlebell swings, reduce the range of motion and perform Russian kettlebell swings.

In case of injury or limitation, for the 400-meter run, perform 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike or 400/500 meters on the rower. For the kettlebell swings, consider single-arm Russian kettlebell swings or kettlebell deadlifts. For the pull-ups, perform ring rows.

Intermediate option:

Post times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Get ready to find your posterior chain muscles today. Choose an option for the GHD hip extensions that allows you to complete consistent sets of 15 or more repetitions. Some athletes may even be able to go unbroken. On each row — especially the final one — don’t hold anything back. Push the pace faster than you want to. If you are not consistently working with the GHD, reduce the reps and range of motion to accommodate your capacity.

Scaling:
Reduce the reps of the GHD hip extensions. Reduce the distance on the rower.

To reduce the complexity of the hip extensions, perform with a reduced range of motion.

In case of injury or limitation, for the GHD hip extensions, perform Superman holds on the GHD. Accumulate no more than 2 minutes total. If you do not have a GHD or are not familiar with the equipment, consider performing good mornings, lightly loaded or unloaded. For the 800/1,000-meter row, perform 1,750/2,500 meters on the Echo bike or an 800-meter run. For the 400/500-meter row, perform 500/700 meters on the Echo bike or a 400-meter run.

♂ 50-lb dumbbells and a 20-inch box

Post times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is grind. The loading of the dumbbells should allow you to maintain consistent sets of at least 10 reps before needing a break. As you step over the box, stay low and get yourself in position to perform the next burpee. Push each run as you are able. As you finish your last dumbbell burpee box step-over in each set, start moving toward the run. This can be a walk or a shuffle as you catch your breath. Then, pick up the pace as you feel recovered.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbells. Reduce the distance of each run.

To reduce the complexity of the dumbbell burpee box step-overs, perform without the dumbbells.

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 400-meter run, perform 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike or 400/500 meters on the rower. For the 200-meter run, 500/700 meters on the Echo bike, or 200/250 meters on the rower.

10 rounds, each for time, of:
300-meter shuttle run

The shuttle run is 50 meters out, 50 meters back, 100 meters out, 100 meters back.

Rest 2 minutes between rounds.

Post times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
In today’s workout, we’ll focus on moving quickly for a shorter distance and our ability to change direction, then accelerate. Each shuttle run is meant to take about a minute and take double the time to recover. Moving quickly through these efforts is relative for each person. Take the first few rounds to feel out your pace and gauge your body's ability to push. If you can perform this workout on a football or soccer field, it definitely makes measuring a little easier (300 yards is slightly shorter than 300 meters, but it will get the job done).

Scaling:
Reduce the distance of each shuttle run.

In case of injury or limitation, perform 700/900 meters on the Echo bike or 300/400 meters on the C2 rower.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
7 rounds, each for time, of:
150-meter shuttle run

The shuttle run is 25 meters out, 25 meters back, 50 meters out, 50 meters back.

Rest 2 minutes between rounds.

Coaching cues:
When you change directions on a shuttle run, you must anticipate the turn. Stay lower to the ground as you change direction and accelerate into the next straightaway.

Post your fastest and slowest intervals.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout contains 7 sprint-style efforts. The goal is to complete each set as quickly as possible so you have plenty of rest before the next interval begins. The loading of the dumbbells should allow you to perform each farmers carry unbroken. Sprint on the bike and don’t hold anything back. Go for broke.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbells.

To reduce the complexity of the knees-to-elbows, reduce the range of motion. For the farmers carry, consider using only one dumbbell.

In case of injury or limitation, use any machine available to complete your calories. For the knees-to-elbows, perform hanging knee raises or lying toes-to-bars. For the farmers carry, perform 10 unloaded box step-ups.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a monostructural and gymnastics effort, and fills a pressing movement function gap for the week. Hit this workout at a pace that aligns with your recovery status from the Everyday Hero Service Cup. If you are feeling good, push the pace on the runs and aim to complete your wall walks in 1 minute or less. If you are still recovering, slow down the runs and focus on your technique during the wall walks.

Scaling:
Reduce the distance on the run. Reduce the number of wall walks.

To reduce the complexity of the wall walks, reduce the range of motion. Consider walking a few steps toward the wall for a distance where you are able to maintain your technique.

In case of injury or limitation, for the run, complete 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike, or 400/500 meters on the rower or ski erg. For the wall walks, perform inchworms with a push-up.

Intermediate option:

Stimulus and Strategy:
Try to hit each of today’s running intervals as quickly as your capacity allows. Today is a day when most athletes can tackle the effort as prescribed. If you are alone, have a goal in mind for each interval. If you are training with a buddy or a group, keep up with someone who will challenge your pace.

Scaling:
To reduce the volume, cut the distances in half.

Today is a day when most athletes can perform this as prescribed. However, if you are new or less experienced, complete the beginner option and potentially perform each effort with a combination of running and walking.

In case of injury or limitation, for the 1,600-meter run, perform 3,500/5,000 meters on the Echo bike or 1,600/2,000 meters on the rower. 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 400-meter run, perform 900/1,250 meters on the Echo bike or 400/500 meters on the rower.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a play on the classic Hero workout Randy. Attack this effort just as you would any Hero workout. You should sprint right from the start — complete as many touch-and-go snatches as you can, and race through the calories on the bike. Don’t try to game the workout or pace it. Push the pedal to the floor and hang on. The loading of the barbell is light, so make sure you choose a weight with which you can perform 1 or 2 sets of 15 unbroken reps.

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the barbell. Reduce the reps of the snatches and the calories on the bike.

To reduce the complexity of the power snatches, consider hang power snatches or muscle snatches.

In case of injury or limitation, for the power snatches, perform dumbbell snatches or consider power cleans if there is an overhead limitation. For the bike, substitute any machine you have available. If you have no machines, perform 12 50-foot shuttle runs (25 feet out and 25 feet back).
