CrossFit's Workout Of The Day

Olympic Total

Snatch 1-1-1-1-1 reps
Clean and jerk 1-1-1-1-1 reps

Compare to 260105 (snatch) and 240205 (clean and jerk).

Post loads to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we're testing an Olympic total. The goal is to find a heavy lift for both the snatch and the clean and jerk. Keep in mind that heavy is relative to each athlete — look back at your most recent lifts to gauge where to start and set a general goal for the day. Aim to increase the load with each attempt, and rest at least 2-3 minutes between lifts. Don't rush. After the snatch, deload and take several lighter lifts on the clean and jerk before working back up to heavy loads.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Grace

For time:
30 clean and jerks

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

Compare to 260113.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, tackle the classic CrossFit benchmark Grace — it should be a sprint. Choose a load that lets you move well and cycle 2-3 sets of 5 or more reps with very little rest. The magic isn't in the reps or the weight; it's in how you push yourself to keep moving, hang onto the bar a little longer than you want to, and pick it back up before you're ready. If you're scaling and can open with 20 unbroken reps, the load is too light.

Have a score to beat within 2-7 minutes? Go for it. Scaled it last time but feel ready to go heavier today? Give it a shot. And if you land on the slower end of the time domain today, that's alright, too.

Part B
At 15 minutes, on a 3-minute clock:
Build to a 1-rep-max clean and jerk

Post time and heaviest lift to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a two-part workout as part of the 2026 Everyday Hero Service Cup. Complete Part A quickly for as much rest as possible before starting Part B.

If you're signed up for the Service Cup, perform one of the competition variants and log your scores. If you're not signed up, scale the workout to fit your needs and capacity.

Expect this one to get you breathing heavy with a barbell in hand. Shoot to finish Part A in 8-15 minutes, then find a 1-rep-max clean and jerk in a 3-minute window once the clock hits 15 minutes. The sooner you finish Part A, the more rest you'll have before the max-effort lift.

The load for Part A is meant to be moderate, allowing for some touch-and-go reps at a quick cadence. Part B is a fun opportunity to lift heavy while fatigued — keep your mechanics sound and aim for two to four good lifts in this tight timeframe.

If you're signed up for the Service Cup, don't forget to log your scores. Be sure to check out the Service Cup website for more information, rules, and standards.

♀ 45-lb barbell
♂ 65-lb barbell

Compare to 260429.

Post your time to the comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is the CrossFit benchmark Andi. We last completed this workout in April, so you have an opportunity see if you can improve your time.

Go for large sets from start to finish — ideally opening with at least 20 reps, then several sets of 15, never dropping below 10. If you're unable to hit that stimulus, reduce load or volume as needed.

In the warm-up, expect to demonstrate 15 sound, unbroken reps of each movement to earn that load for the workout. Don't mistake the light loads as an invitation to go as prescribed when that's not normally your approach — choose an easy load and move faster instead.

With a light load and high volume, it's easier to shorten your range of motion or move poorly as you fatigue. Maintain full range of motion through all movements, and don't be surprised if you need to slow down at some point to clean up your technique.

15-12-9 reps for load and time of:
Hang power cleans
Bar-facing burpees

Use the same weight for all three sets.
All hang power clean sets must be unbroken; if you drop the bar, start the set over.

Post load and time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's conditioning element is a mix of heavy and fast movements. Shoot to complete this workout in under 8 minutes; advanced athletes may finish in closer to 5.

Find a challenging hang power clean weight you can maintain for unbroken sets — a general guideline is 60-70% of your 1-rep max. If you drop the bar on any set, you must start over, so the load should be heavy enough that you'll want a little rest before each round of cleans to keep them unbroken.

Try to maintain a steady, consistent pace on the burpees. The rounds of 15 and 12 can even be treated like a "hard rest" before the next set of cleans, while the final 9 reps should be a sprint to the finish.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:
15-12-9 reps for load and time of:
Hang power cleans
Bar-facing up-down + step-overs

Use the same weight for all three sets.

Build to a challenging power clean and jerk

♀ 65-lb barbell
♂ 95-lb barbell

Post time and load to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's time domain tells you everything you need to know about this workout — it's fast! The light clean and jerks are meant to be completed in 1-3 sets across all rounds, with only brief rest breaks. Choose a load that lets you do at least 15 reps with smooth, high-quality movement. The bike is low skill, low repetition, but will challenge your respiratory system — find a calorie count that lets you hold a consistent moderate-to-hard effort. It should feel uncomfortable, but manageable. The set of 21 shouldn't take longer than 90 seconds. Today is about moving fast and consistently, with enough clarity and control to move the barbell well.

After the workout, feel free to take 10 minutes — or until your clock hits 20 minutes — to build to a challenging but not maximal power clean and jerk.

♀ 95/125/155-lb barbell
♂ 135/185/225-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a variation of the classic workout Elizabeth. Increase the load on the power cleans, starting with a moderate load and finishing with a heavy set of 9 — the load should require mostly singles for the second and third sets.

You must start each set of ring dips with a muscle-up, and if you break on a set, you must perform a muscle-up before continuing. Note that the ring dips will get challenging, so do not to push to failure on any set. Breaking the first set into 7/7/7 can help manage fatigue, even if it costs you an extra muscle-up or two.

5 rounds, each for time, of:
15 box jump-overs
12 dumbbell deadlifts
9 dumbbell hang power cleans
6 dumbbell shoulder-to-overheads

Rest exactly 2 minutes between rounds.

♀ 35-lb dumbbells and a 20-inch box
♂ 50-lb dumbbells and a 24-inch box

Post time for each round to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This twist on the Hero workout DT swaps in dumbbells and adds a spicy box jump-over, with rest after each set. Rounds will likely move faster than the barbell version since dumbbells are easier to hang onto. Use the rest to push each round like a sprint. Finish the box jump-overs, grab the dumbbells, and hang on! Keep deadlifts unbroken through all rounds. If needed, break the hang power cleans and shoulder-to-overheads into 2 sets, keeping rest breaks to 15 seconds or less — scale to maintain this. Reduce dumbbell load if needed to keep a flat back and sound shoulder position through the deadlifts and jerks. Advanced athletes: Aim for as many rounds as possible without putting the dumbbells down before moving up to a heavier load.

5 rounds for time of:
30 medicine-ball cleans
20 ring dips

♀ 14-lb medicine ball
♂ 20-lb medicine ball

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This workout combines two movements that each pack a punch in very different ways. Expect the med-ball cleans to fatigue the lower body much quicker than you'd expect. Set a goal to move quickly through large chunks of reps before needing to take breaks. The ring dip volume is very high and will be the most difficult part of the workout for most. This movement will significantly tax the chest, shoulders, and triceps. If you're not able to perform 10-15 reps consecutively, plan to scale the reps or difficulty. Due to the volume of this workout, start conservatively, particularly for the ring dips. Do a small number of reps at a time, staying well short of muscular failure.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time of:
20 medicine-ball cleans
10 ring dips

Post loads to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll build to max loads for 5 sets of 3 power cleans. Look back at July 17 to compare your last heavy power clean attempts. Plan to gradually build up in load, starting with a challenging first set of 3 at around 70-75% of your 1-rep max. Rest 3-4 minutes between sets to maximize recovery and preparation for the next set.

♀ 35-lb dumbbells
♂ 50-lb dumbbells

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's effort is a fun, grindy dumbbell workout. Grip will be a factor, so rest as needed before hitting failure. Dumbbell loading should be moderate. Aim to finish the hang power cleans and push presses in under a minute each, and the farmers carry in under 3 minutes. This workout is most effectively and efficiently performed on a track, or somewhere you can continuously progress through 200-meter segments after completing the hang power cleans and push presses.

1 ½-bodyweight deadlifts

Compare to 241118.

Post time in comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a classic CrossFit benchmark, nicknamed "the three bars of death." Look back at Nov. 18, 2024, to compare your most recent score for Linda. The earlier rounds are a bit of a grind — go unbroken where you can, and manage your reps when you need to catch your breath. For example, singles on the squat cleans are a great way to manage your heart rate and prepare for the next round. This effort carries a high volume of weightlifting at a moderate load. Reduce the loads and/or cut some of the early rounds to bring down the total volume. If you're able, use a spotter on the bench presses — this is purely a safety consideration. If you can't find a spotter, don't push to failure; break before you think you need to.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a classic heavy day. Unlike last week's power clean, today's lift can be any variation of the clean that allows you to lift your heaviest load. Look back to your most recent heavy lift to help gauge this effort. Remember, heavy is relative to each individual and their capacity. Newer athletes should focus on technique and lift only as their form allows.

30 wall-ball shots
30 low-hang squat snatches

♀ 45-lb barbell and a 14-lb medicine ball to a 9-foot target
♂ 75-lb barbell and a 20-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a couplet of conflicting movement patterns. These two movements are purposefully paired to cause muscular fatigue, forcing you to rest. The loading isn't the issue here; it's the redundancy in the movement patterns. Back in 2009, this was a devastating workout, and to this day, it still packs a punch. The low-hang position means the barbell should stay anywhere below the knee on each rep. Scale the loading of each movement so you can maintain consistent sets of 10 or more reps.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
25 wall-ball shots
25 low-hang squat snatches

Stimulus and Strategy:
Build to max loads for a 3-, 2-, and 1-rep power clean over 8 sets. Start your first set of 3 around 70-75% of your 1-rep max and build gradually from there. Sets of 3 and 2 should take no more than 20 seconds — touch-and-go or singles. One set every 3-4 minutes gives plenty of rest, allows you to lift with a buddy, and keeps equipment needs low. Reference your last heavy power clean day to help navigate loading.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we honor Eva Mireles, 44, who died on Tuesday, May 24, 2022, while shielding her fourth-grade students from a gunman at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas. Mireles’ co-teacher, Irma Garcia, and 19 students were also killed in the shooting. Mireles was in her 17th year of teaching in the Uvalde Consolidated Independent School District, and held certifications in special education and bilingual education. In addition to regularly running before school, she also enjoyed hiking. Friends and relatives recall she could be found in her CrossFit gym almost every day after school. In 2022, she participated in the CrossFit Open for the ninth time.

Eva Strong is a partner workout where each athlete completes 24 double-unders, then works with their partner to split 19 toes-to-bars and 2 clean and jerks before running together. Each round should take less than 5 minutes to complete. To account for fatigue later in the workout, aim to keep the first few rounds under 4 minutes.

Scale the volume and load so each movement takes no more than 1 minute to complete. This should leave approximately 2:00-2:30 for the run while keeping the overall round time under 5 minutes. Scale the double-unders to single-unders or penguin taps, and reduce the range of motion on the toes-to-bars. The goal is to maintain steady movement, efficient transitions, and consistent pacing throughout the workout.

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today is a monostructural benchmark — a 5K run! Pacing is everything in a 5K. Resist the urge to go out too fast. Instead, settle into your rhythm during the first 800 meters and build from there. Your legs may still be feeling the effects of yesterday’s rope climbs and hang squat cleans, so we’ll make sure to get them loosened up during the warm-up.

Regardless of your goal, focus on maintaining a consistent pace throughout the run or executing a negative split by starting slightly slower and finishing faster. Avoid the common mistake of sprinting the first half of the workout only to fade significantly in the second half. Consistency and patience early on will set you up for a strong finish.

♀ 105-lb barbell
♂ 155-lb barbell

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a descending-ladder couplet of hang squat cleans and rope climbs. Expect a serious grip challenge. The goal is to move efficiently and maintain a steady pace, with most athletes aiming to finish in 10 minutes or less, with faster athletes approaching the 6-minute mark.

Choose a moderate load for the hang squat cleans that allows you to complete each round in no more than 3 sets. Whether you are experienced with rope climbs or still developing the skill, spend time on the rope during your warm-up and use the opportunity to refine your technique. Select a variation that appropriately challenges your current ability while allowing you to maintain consistency throughout the workout.

15-12-9 reps for load of:
Clean and jerks

Perform all unbroken touch-and-go reps. There is no time limit; rest as needed between sets.

Compare to 250114.

Post load to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This benchmark workout builds stamina and strength throughout the entire body. The goal is to lift as heavy as possible without failing a rep, demonstrating major technical faults, or putting the barbell down. The key to accomplishing all three is deliberate movement on every rep and finding grit as each set progresses. In the set of 15, reps 1-7 should feel manageable, reps 8-12 will require focus and challenge your barbell stamina, and reps 13-15 should test both your mental toughness and movement quality under fatigue. Plan for 3-4 minutes of rest between sets and use the same load for the entire workout. Fatigue will accumulate with each set, but the descending rep scheme is designed to help you maintain the same weight with solid mechanics throughout.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:
15-12-9 reps for load of:
Hang clean and jerk

There is no time limit; rest as needed between sets.

50 alternating single-leg squats
30 hang cleans

♀ 135-lb barbell
♂ 225-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Compare to 120428.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout revisits a 2012 Regionals event. On the rower, focus on your breathing and maintaining a tall posture. Use the opening few hundred meters to settle into your pace. This shouldn’t feel like a 2K PR attempt, but continue to push the pace as best as you can throughout.

Stay smooth and controlled on the single-leg squats to minimize missed reps. The barbell loading should feel moderate to heavy, allowing for consistent sets of 3-5 unbroken hang power cleans. Manage your sets with short, deliberate breaks as needed. Opening with overly aggressive sets will only lead to long rest periods later in the workout.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is an ascending-load front squat ladder paired with lateral burpees over the bar. Each set runs on its own 2:30 clock, and your score will be the total working time across all five couplets. The front squat reps decrease as the load increases, while the burpees remain the same throughout. Each interval should take about 1:30-2:15 to complete, so scale the loading accordingly.

Move directly into the burpees as soon as you finish your squats. Settle into a steady rhythm and work to maintain a consistent pace from round to round. Have your plates organized and ready so you can quickly adjust the bar before the next interval begins. The barbell starts from the floor, and the first rep of each set may be taken as a squat clean.

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.

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s Hero workout honors Laura Schwartzenberger, 43, who was killed while executing a search warrant related to a violent crime against children. Schwartzenberger, who joined the FBI in 2005, was fatally shot by a suspected child pornographer on Feb. 2, 2021, in Sunrise, Florida.

Plan to move through each round with your partner, splitting the reps as needed. One athlete works while the other rests. Choose a moderate barbell load that allows for quick singles back and forth, though advanced athletes may be able to hold larger touch-and-go sets. The row should take no longer than 3 minutes, and the burpees should take no longer than 2 minutes each round. Scale the loading and volume as needed so both partners can complete at least half of the reps for each movement every round. If you’re unable to complete the workout with a partner, perform it solo.

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

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.

Aim to complete the jump rope in under 2:30 each time, and the dumbbell movements in no more than 6 sets each. As you get farther into this one, use your legs and hips to keep the weight moving. This workout will not get easier each round, so make sure you are confident with the loads and scales you select.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is 8 sprint efforts. Sprint the 100 meters as quickly as you can, get to the barbell, and complete as many clean and jerks as possible before the minute is up. Choose a light-to-moderate barbell load that allows you to cycle through reps quickly for touch-and-go reps. Practice barbell cycling in the warm-up to enhance your efficiency. Aim to complete the sprint in 30 seconds or faster, giving you around 30 seconds for clean and jerks.

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

Compare to 240115.

Post loads to comments.

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