Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a descending rep scheme of power snatches and rope climbs — expect this one to be grippy. Choose a moderate barbell load that allows quick singles or a few touch-and-go reps with minimal rest between sets. Pace the rope climbs and focus on using your legs to climb efficiently, rather than pulling with your arms — think of your arms as holding you close to the rope while your legs drive you up.

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.

Intermediate option:
With a partner, 5 rounds for time of:
12 double-unders (each)
19 toes-to-bars (total)
2 clean and jerks (total)
400-meter run (together)

Share all work and complete the run together.

Saturday 260627

For time:
5,000-meter run

Compare to 250507.

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.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:

9 hang squat cleans
3 rope climbs

Post time to comments.

♀ 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.

Front-rack reverse lunges
Knees-to-elbows
Bike calories

Post time to comments.

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout features a descending-rep ladder designed to keep you moving at a fast pace from start to finish. Choose a front-rack lunge load that allows you to complete the work with no more than two breaks at any point in the workout. Focus on maintaining an upright torso and strong front-rack position throughout every lunge repetition.

For the knees-to-elbows, make sure each rep meets the standard by clearly touching your knees to your elbows. Scale the movement as needed to maintain consistent sets of at least five reps throughout the workout.

Attack the bike with intent. Aim to complete the first round of calories in under 2 minutes and use that effort to set the tone for the rest of the workout. Stay disciplined on your movement standards and push the pace where you can.

Saturday 260620

For time:
1,600-meter sled drag with a barbell front-rack carry

Any time you stop, you must complete 15 bent-over rows with the barbell before starting again. The sled is attached around the waist and dragged behind the athlete.

♀ 95-lb barbell and 95-lb sled
♂ 135-lb barbell and 135-lb sled

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a grind that will test both your physical and mental toughness. The opening effort may feel easy, but it will catch up to you quickly. Choose loads that allow you to complete at least 150 steps before setting the barbell down. That number may decrease as fatigue accumulates. Attach the sled at your waist by either looping the strap around your waist or securing it to a belt. Be smart with your rest. Strategic breaks will help you keep moving steadily throughout the workout, while pushing until you are forced to stop can bring your pace to a halt.

Gwen

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.

For time:
100 overhead squats

Every minute, starting at 0:00, complete 15 double-unders. No racks — the bar comes from the floor.

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is every bit as dirty as it looks on paper and will require a strong focus on efficiency and rep management. Aim to maintain at least 10 overhead squats per minute through the first 6 minutes, then hang on from there to finish within the intended time domain of 13 minutes or less. The barbell starts from the floor.

The double-unders may seem harmless at first, but they add up quickly over the course of the workout. They place a subtle but significant demand on the shoulders, which can have a major impact on your overhead squat performance later on.

Intermediate option:
For time:
100 overhead squats

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.

Intermediate option:
For time:
2,000-meter row

♀ 65/95/125/135/145-lb barbell
♂ 95/135/185/205/225-lb barbell

Post total time to comments.

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.

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

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

♂ 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.

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.

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!

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:

Post total reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is moderate-to-heavy lifting with a metabolic-conditioning stimulus, making it more challenging as your heart rate climbs. During the warm-up, find loads that let you complete 15+ reps at the first weight, 10+ at the second, and 5+ at the third. These will vary person to person, and that’s OK. If you train by percentages, aim for ~60%, 70–75%, and ~80%, respectively. Singles are a great way to keep the bar moving and manage rest. Touch-and-go reps are fine if you have them — but not if they lead to excessive rest.

Tuesday 260505

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.

♀ 125-lb barbell
♂ 185-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a relatively short workout with a challenging load on the jerks and a bit of volume of double-unders. Choose a challenging weight that still allows for no more than one short break on each round. Better to challenge yourself with a heavier load than to go too light. Shoot to get that first set of double-unders completed in under 2 minutes; scale as needed to do so. A hidden element of this workout is the redundancy, specifically with the jumping demands and shoulder fatigue. To aid with this, focus on maintaining hip extension on the jerks and aggressively pushing under the barbell to lock it out and stabilize it.

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

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.

Kelly

5 rounds for time of:
400-meter run
30 box jumps
30 wall-ball shots

♀ 14-lb medicine ball to a 9-foot target and a 20-inch box
♂ 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
30 wall-ball shots

10-lb medicine ball to a 9-foot target and a 20-inch box

Monday 260406

For time:
800-meter run
80 pull-ups
80 deadlifts
800-meter run

Partition the pull-up and deadlift reps any way.

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This is a high-rep and grippy workout. Keep in mind, we did pull-ups on Saturday, but at a lower intensity. This redundancy is intentional, but if you are sore, consider reducing the reps or decreasing the difficulty of the movement to keep intensity high. The deadlifts are light, but the volume will fatigue the posterior, making the last run so much fun. Buckle up for a fight when you hit the last 400 meters. Try to complete both runs between 3:30 and 4:30. The pull-ups and deadlifts should be completed in under 10 minutes and can be partitioned any way. For scaling, consider what can be completed in under 1 minute, and that rep scheme or movement variation will be your prescription. Examples per minute include 10 pull-ups/10 deadlifts (8 minutes of work), 8 pull-ups/8 deadlifts (10 minutes). If you cannot sustain a cadence of 8/8, reduce volume and or modify the movement selection. The first half of this workout should feel manageable. The second half is the real test.

Then, complete the following post-workout skill work.

Every minute on the minute for 6 minutes:
25-foot handstand walk

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.

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

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

♂ 135-lb barbell and a 50-lb dumbbell

Compare to 080413.

Post reps to the comments.

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

Intermediate option:

9 back squats

♀ 125-lb barbell
♂ 185-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

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

♀ 65-lb barbell
♂ 95-lb barbell

Compare to Nancy on 241026.

Post round times to comments.

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

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

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
5 hang power cleans
20-second L-sit hold

♀ 125-lb barbell
♂ 185-lb barbell

Post total rounds and reps to the comments.

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

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
5 hang power cleans
20-second L-sit hold with knees bent
