CrossFit's Workout Of The Day

For 4 rounds, complete as many reps as possible in 3 minutes of:
21 AbMat sit-ups
15 box jump-overs
9 squat cleans
Max toes-to-bars in remaining time

Rest 3 minutes between rounds.

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

Post total reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is an interval-style effort with built-in rest, allowing for high intensity in each round. Push to maintain a hard pace on the sit-ups, box jump-overs, and squat cleans throughout. Choose a box height and load that let you move consistently and get right into the next rep without hesitation. Aim to hold larger sets on the toes-to-bars today, but avoid hitting failure too early. Use the 3-minute rest to recover as much as possible so you can attack the pace again at the start of each round.

Intermediate option:
For 4 rounds, complete as many reps as possible in 3 minutes of:
21 AbMat sit-ups
15 box jump-overs
9 squat cleans
Max toes-to-bars in remaining time

Brian

3 rounds for time of:
5 rope climbs to 15 feet
25 back squats

♀ 125-lb barbell
♂ 185-lb barbell

Compare to 120515.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s Hero workout honors Brian R. Bill, a U.S. Navy Special Warfare Operator Chief Petty Officer (SEAL) from Stamford, Connecticut, who died on Aug. 6, 2011, from wounds suffered when his unit’s helicopter crashed in Wardak province, Afghanistan.

This workout pairs high-volume back squats with rope climbs. Aim to keep the bar moving and your climbs efficient throughout. Choose a back-squat weight you could complete unbroken in the first round, even if you elect to take one short break to avoid excessive fatigue later on. You should not need more than three sets in any round, and the barbell should feel moderate when fresh. Use an efficient leg lock on the rope climbs. Take a moment to breathe at the top, then control your descent. Minimize rest at the rack — get under the bar and right into your squats. Be careful not to come out too hot at the start. Approach Round 1 with the pacing mindset you want to have in Round 3.

Compare to 120923.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's Hero workout is in honor of U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Elizalde, 30, of North Bend, Oregon, assigned to the 2nd Battalion, 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne), based in Fort Lewis, Washington, who died on Aug. 23, 2007, in Baghdad, Iraq, of wounds sustained from an improvised explosive device.

Expect this one to be a gymnastics skill-intensive workout with a variety of relatively complex movements. Complete the forward rolls in under 30 seconds, the wall walks in under 90 seconds, unbroken toes-to-bars in under 30 seconds, and the box jumps in under 45 seconds. Scale as needed to finish within these intended time domains. Shoot for a more challenging box height than you'd usually go for, but make sure you can still keep moving. The early rounds should be done in about 2 minutes, with no round taking longer than 3:15. Let today be what you need based on how you’re feeling after Murph.

Compare to 250526.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we take on the Hero workout Murph in memory of Navy Lt. Michael Murphy, 29, of Patchogue, New York, who was killed in Afghanistan on June 28, 2005. Visit the Murph Challenge site to learn more and support the Murph Foundation. This workout was named in honor of the focused warrior and great American who wanted nothing more in life than to serve this great country and the beautiful people who make it what it is.

If you think this work may take longer than 60 minutes to complete, consider removing the vest and/or reducing the volume. Scale the pull-ups to complete 5 reps in 1-2 sets with ease. If this is a challenge, scale the volume or substitute with ring rows or jumping pull-ups. Scale push-up and squat volume to allow for continued movement. Most athletes will opt for 5-10-15 reps for 20 rounds. If you plan to do 10-20-30 reps for 10 rounds or anything greater, you should anticipate being able to perform pull-ups in sets of 5 or more and push-ups in sets of 3 or more throughout the workout. Be sure to log your Murph score in the CrossFit app!

♂ 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.

Intermediate option:

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:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
Every 2 minutes for 20 minutes, complete:
3 strict banded pull-ups
6 hand-elevated push-ups
9 air squats

5 rounds for time of:
15 box jumps
15 bench presses

♀ 95-lb barbell and a 24-inch box
♂ 135-lb barbell and a 30-inch box

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we have a spicy, fast-paced couplet. It might look easy on paper, but expect this combination to be challenging. Maintain a fast but sustainable pace on the box jumps to allow a bit of recovery for the next set of bench presses. Plan to complete the bench presses in 1-2 sets for the first 2 rounds and no more than 3 sets for the remaining rounds. Scale load as needed to make this happen. Aim to complete each round in 3 minutes or less.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
15 box jumps

Nasty Girls
3 rounds for time of:
50 air squats
7 muscle-ups
10 hang power cleans

♀ 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.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
50 air squats
7 jumping muscle-ups or low-ring transitions
10 hang power cleans

♀ 75-lb barbell
♂ 115-lb barbell

Andi

For time:
100 hang power snatches
100 push presses
100 sumo deadlift high pulls
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.

Intermediate option:
For time:
70 hang power snatches
70 push presses
70 sumo deadlift high pulls
70 front squats

100-foot handstand walk
50 box step-ups

♀ 20-inch box
♂ 24-inch box

Post rounds and reps to comments.

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.

Intermediate option:

♀ 35-lb kettlebells and a 20-inch box
♂ 53-lb kettlebells and a 24-inch box

Post times for each round to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout focuses on moving quickly under fatigue. This effort capitalizes on your rest time, which allows you to recover and hit the next one hard. Choose a challenging front-rack carry weight that still allows for unbroken efforts. Make sure the kettlebells are in a true front-rack position, not resting on the shoulders. Plan to sprint through the box jump-overs, finishing the 15 reps in 1 minute or less.

♂ 1.5x bodyweight deadlift, 20-lb vest, and a 20-inch box

Post time to comments.

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.

♂ 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

♀ 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.

♀ 20-inch box
♂ 24-inch box

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This triplet is all bodyweight movement, but it will boost your heart rate and leave your legs feeling heavy. Shoot to complete the early rounds in 3 minutes or less to account for fatigue later on. Finish the rope climbs in under 1 minute. If you have a rope climb, but not 2 in less than 60 seconds, scale to 1 rep per round. Otherwise, scale to a pull-to-stand and work on keeping the hips off the ground. The GHD sit-up sets should be fast. If you haven't been on the GHD recently, scale to parallel. If you've never been on it, practice a few as you warm up, but perform either weighted or unweighted AbMat sit-ups in the workout. Use the box jumps to either recover or push the pace, depending on how you're feeling. Complete the reps in less than 90 seconds or scale the height of the jump, even if it's to just a few inches off the floor.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
1 rope climb to 15 feet

Compare to 230104.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a fast, simple benchmark that will allow you to recover while still bringing intensity. Look at your previous attempt to compare the score. Scale the double-unders to allow for a fast pace. Reduce reps first, and then substitute single-unders if needed. Perform the skill work after the workout when you have had an opportunity to return to equilibrium. Use this time to practice positioning and technique. Don’t blaze through with “sloppy” technique.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

♂ 24-inch box

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a sprinty, lower-body push to upper-body pull couplet that will have you wishing there were more rope climbs.Get ready for 80 or more box jumps with a quick rope climb between sets to break them up. Each set of box jumps should be completed between 20 and 40 seconds, even with a step down. The rope climbs should be completed in less than 40 seconds, including transition time and rest. Most of you should try to complete 8-10 rounds, with some moving a little slower and some advanced athletes pushing beyond 12 rounds. Make choices that allow for intensity over task accomplishment. If we always train slowly, we will always be slow.

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.

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.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a moderate-duration chipper. Expect the box jump-overs with the higher box to exhaust your legs and make the air squats more difficult. Keep moving through the air squats, even if your legs are tired from the box jump-overs. If needed, slow your pace, breathe, and keep on moving. The combination of box jump-overs and air squats will also likely make the start of the run more difficult. Plan to get yourself moving, find a rhythm, and empty the tank to finish strong.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a grippy workout that will challenge you to be smart about breaks, while still pushing intensity. Choose a load that allows you to continue moving with minimal breaks on the dumbbell box step-overs. Plan to hold the dumbbells at your sides in a farmers-carry position. Scale the pull-ups as needed for you to complete the reps in 1-3 sets each round. The descending rep scheme should allow you to keep the intensity up even as your grip and shoulders fatigue.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This workout will challenge endurance and lower-body stamina with a variety of unilateral movements. Expect the movement redundancy to lead to a substantial amount of lower-body muscular fatigue. On the rower, plan to move at a steady pace to complete each set in under 2 minutes. The single-leg squats will likely be the most demanding part of this workout. Expect the step-ups to be time-consuming. The goal is working at a consistent pace and trying to complete each set of 90 reps in under 4:30.

Grace

♂ 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.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a descending box jump-over challenge with plank holds and farmers carries mixed in. This will serve as midline work made extra challenging, thanks to an elevated heart rate. Aim to complete the plank holds and farmers carries in 2 sets or less. Make sure you hold a sound hollow position through all plank-hold efforts. If your hips begin to sag or pike, scale the movement. Move as quickly as you can during the box jump-overs, while maintaining confidence with each jump. Remember to stand tall with the dumbbells and move through the farmers carries with your shoulders pulled back and down.

Rest 90 seconds

Then, on a 90-second clock, complete:
200/250-meter row

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 for time of:
4 rope climbs to 15 feet
40 GHD sit-ups
100-meter dumbbell farmers carry

♀ 35-lb dumbbells
♂ 50-lb dumbbells

Stimulus and Strategy:
In today’s workout, expect grip and midline fatigue to be a factor. Manage your reps on the rope climbs and be confident in your ability to complete the rep before attempting a climb. Use a load for the dumbbells that allows you to complete the distance in 2 sets or less. At the end of the day, choose options that allow you to complete the workout in 18 minutes or less. Use caution on the GHD — if you are not consistently using the GHD to perform sit-ups, consider the scaling options below.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbells. Reduce the reps of each movement.

To reduce the complexity of the GHD sit-ups, decrease the range of motion. For the rope climbs, reduce the height of the climb.

In case of an injury or limitation, for the GHD sit-ups, perform V-ups or AbMat sit-ups. For the rope climbs, perform pull-to-stands. For the dumbbell farmers carries, use one dumbbell or consider unloaded step-ups on a low box.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
2 rope climbs to 12 feet
25 GHD sit-ups to parallel
100-meter dumbbell farmers carry

♀ 20-lb dumbbells

20 sit-ups
100-meter single-dumbbell farmers carry

♀ 10-lb dumbbell
♂ 15-lb dumbbell

Coaching cues:
On the GHD sit-ups, focus on lowering your body with bent legs, while maintaining tension in your abdominals. Then when you are ready to come up, straighten your legs by squeezing your thighs and driving your heels toward the foot pad.

Post time to comments.

Compare to 241225.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is all bodyweight movements. Scale the difficulty of each element so you can keep moving and perform the reps of each movement unbroken — more moving and less hook-gripping your shorts.

Scaling:
The exercises with the most reps are push-ups through jumping lunges — anywhere from 36 to 42 reps. Reduce the reps as needed or only perform the even rounds (i.e., in Round 1, perform 2 candlesticks, then 1 inchworm. In Round 2, complete 4 knee push-ups, 3 burpees, 2 candlesticks, then 1 inchworm. Continue adding two new exercises each even round).

To reduce the complexity of these bodyweight movements, reduce the range of motion. For example, on the wall walks, only take two steps toward the wall or perform inchworms. On the burpees, perform up-downs. On the handstand push-ups, perform dumbbell shoulder presses or pike push-ups. And for the single-leg squats, use a higher target, air squats, or even a narrow-stance air squat.

In case of injury or limitation, substitute equipment to preserve the movement function as much as possible, or choose an alternative suitable for your situation.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
12 rounds for time, starting with 1 and adding an exercise each round:

Coaching cues:
As you lower yourself to the bottom of an air squat, think about grabbing the floor with your toes and “screwing” your feet into the ground. This will keep your knees tracking your toes and your entire foot in contact with the ground.
