Scaling:
Today’s workout is a high-skill triplet. Choose scaling options that challenge you but allow you to maintain a consistent pace for the entire workout. Adjust movements, load, and volume if needed to complete each round in less than 3 minutes. Switch hands as needed on the overhead dumbbell lunges; otherwise, these reps should be unbroken. As you begin to fatigue, manage your rest and minimize the amount of time spent looking at the pull-up bar and/or lying on the ground.

Quarterfinals Workout 2

3 rounds for time:
50 wall-ball shots
50 lateral burpee box jump-overs

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

Time cap: 20 minutes

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Welcome to the second workout of the 2024 CrossFit Games Quarterfinals! This leg- and lung-burner workout has a 20-minute cap. Those not recording a score for competition should scale accordingly to finish within this time. Advanced athletes should push for sub-13 minutes. Find a wall-ball shot load that allows for 10 or more reps at a time, and push the lateral burpee box jump-overs to get in 10 per minute. Scale as needed to hit these ranges. Those not competing in Quarterfinals should choose challenging variations that still allow for continuous movement. Consider taking short breaks during the wall-ball shots and burpees to help you keep moving throughout the workout. This one will be all about finding the line between pushing the pace and holding on for continuous movement.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is meant to be a heavy sprint. Regardless of the other two movements, push the pace on the bike and don’t game it. Exiting the bike a little wobbly is what makes this workout fun. The 5 front squats should be tough and feel heavy; however, you should be able to clean the barbell to start the reps and perform each set unbroken.

Scaling:
Today’s triplet has a short to moderate time domain, depending on your ability to manage your strict gymnastics strength and stamina. Perform this workout as prescribed if you can complete at least 3 unbroken strict chest-to-bar pull-ups and 5-7 hand-release push-ups without deviation of your midline (aka “snaking” your push-ups). The loading of the lunges in this workout should be light enough that you can perform each round unbroken. Don’t stop moving on the lunges, and challenge yourself to perform one more pull-up or push-up before breaking on each round.

50 alternating dumbbell lunges
Max calories on the rower

♀ 50-lb dumbbell
♂ 75-lb dumbbell

Post calories to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a mental and physical test. On paper, this workout creates an ominous thought of too much time on the rower — and that's exactly what’s intended. Adjust the load of the dumbbell so you can perform at least 10 unbroken snatches. Consider holding the dumbbell in the farmers-carry position, the front rack, or on the shoulder. Ultimately, the choice is yours, but the goal is to perform 50 lunges unbroken. Don’t look at the clock — just jump on the rower, push the pace, and get to work. Have fun!

12 weighted alternating single-leg squats

♀ 20 lb
♂ 35 lb

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout should be quick, but the beefed-up variation of the single-leg squat may cause a few speed wobbles. Use a single dumbbell or kettlebell to load the single-leg squats (athletes may choose how to hold the weight). The single-leg squats should be challenging, however, each set should take no more than 1 minute to complete. Scale the load to hit this stimulus. Each set of knees-to-elbows should be completed in 1 minute or less. Scale the height of the knees to hit the intended stimulus.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time:
12 knees-to-armpits
12 alternating single-leg squats

Compare to 210313.

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Expect this workout to be a grind and taxing on your grip. Carry the dumbbells however you’d like on the weighted lunges — consider the front-rack position, resting the dumbbells on the shoulders, or the farmers-carry position as potential options. Reduce the dumbbell load to move with limited rest on both movements. If you don’t have dumbbells or kettlebells available, load the lunges and carries with a 30/45-lb ruck or backpack. There are no excuses. If possible, consider performing this workout on a 400-meter track.

30 deadlifts
60 toes-to-bars
30 front squats

♀ 125 lb
♂ 185 lb

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s chipper-style workout should be treated like a sprint. Complete each movement in as few sets as possible. The load of the barbell is moderate, however, the deadlift will feel much lighter than the front squats. Athletes using the prescribed weight should be able to perform at least 10 reps at a time. Go unbroken on the deadlifts if you can — this will really spice things up. Grind through as many front squats as possible because the more you drop it, the more you’ll have to pick it up again. Stick to a number of toes-to-bars that allows you to rest minimally between sets. Consider consistent sets of 5-10 reps with 10-15 seconds of rest between each set.

Scaling:
Today’s couplet incorporates a heavy barbell and a gymnastics movement. If you have a rack, use it. If not, use a load that allows you to take the barbell from the ground and safely transition it to the back rack or change the movement to a front squat. The load of the barbell should be moderately heavy, however, once the barbell is on your back, you should be able to grind through each set unbroken. As long as you can maintain consistent sets of 5 ring dips, perform the prescribed number of reps.

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a midline assault. The load of the front-rack walking lunges should be heavy but not unbearable — it may be a grind, but aim to perform all sets unbroken. If you are not consistently on the GHD on a weekly basis, scale the range of motion and/or reps to the Intermediate rep scheme or fewer. If you are completing this workout as prescribed, each set of GHD sit-ups should be unbroken. Because both movements should be unbroken, your transition time can make or break your overall time.

Scaling:
Complete both 800-meter runs in 5 minutes or less. However, don't crush yourself on the first run because you need to come back to the kettlebell and get right to work. The loading of the kettlebell should allow for 15-plus reps at a time. As for the lunges, keep moving and try to go unbroken. Get moving on your final run. Your legs will feel a little like Jell-O, but once you start moving, they’ll remember what to do.

♂ 155 lb

Post total time, including rest, to comments.

Goal: 10-12 minutes.

Jan Kozak, our newest addition to the team at Deka Comp, gave us this one. Kozak has a love for barbell cycling and here are some of his notes:

Pulling, cleaning, squatting — all the barbell fun in one good, clean rodeo. Athletes should attempt to go unbroken on the bar throughout, but it’s likely many will break the reps up late in the workout.

Fast in this triplet means efficient. You can’t rush this load if you struggle to have control over the basic elements of each movement: Bar path, upper-back engagement, and for the cleans, proper turnover mechanics. To set yourself up for success, move cleanly on the deadlifts (pun intended), be snappy when receiving the bar in the cleans, and keep your weight in your heels on the front squats.

Intermediate option:
7 rounds for time:
7 deadlifts
7 hang power cleans
7 front squats

♀ 75 lb
♂ 115 lb

Intermediate athletes should focus on moving through the hang power cleans as efficiently as possible.

Beginner option:
7 rounds for time:
7 deadlifts
7 hang power cleans
7 front squats

♀ 45 lb
♂ 65 lb

Beginners should focus on the setup position in the deadlift. Rather than aiming for unbroken reps, take strategic breaks to reset. A strategy could be to drop the bar on the sixth deadlift, then perform the last rep with the plan to go straight into the hang power cleans. Focus on a big jump and shrug in the hang power cleans — break around reps 4 or 5 if needed. Go for unbroken front squats if possible.

U.S. Army Sgt. 1st Class Liam J. Nevins, 32, of Middlebury, Vermont, was killed by small arms fire while conducting combat operations in Paktia Province, Afghanistan, on Sept. 21, 2013. Nevins was assigned to Operational Detachment Alpha 9521, Bravo Company, 5th Bn., 19th Special Forces Group, based in Fort Carson, Colorado.

His friends remember him as a cut above when it came to fitness. He enjoyed hiking and running outdoors, as well as the full gamut of CrossFit movements, from Olympic lifting to gymnastics.

Experienced athletes can take one of two approaches on today’s workout. 1. Attempt to increase the load for every set, aiming for a PR on the later sets. Or, 2. Build to approximately 70-80% of your 1-rep-max and maintain consistent working sets. Focus on excellent technique and aim for a PR on the fourth or fifth set. Athletes with less experience should consider a coach’s guidance and drill the mechanics before adding weight.
