Saturday 251206

3 rounds for time of:
100-meter dumbbell farmers carry
10 muscle-ups
15 dumbbell snatches, right arm
15 dumbbell snatches, left arm

♀ 35-lb dumbbells
♂ 50-lb dumbbells

Stimulus and Strategy:
In today’s workout, use two dumbbells for the farmers carry and a single dumbbell for the snatches. The loading should allow you to perform the carry in 2 sets or less. For the snatches, aim to perform all reps unbroken, but two sets may be needed because of the grip fatigue and redundant movement function with the muscle-ups. Don’t push to failure on the muscle-ups in the first round. Manage your reps and minimize your rest breaks.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbells. Reduce the reps of the muscle-ups.

To reduce the complexity of the muscle-ups, perform jumping muscle-ups. For the dumbbell snatches, perform hang dumbbell snatches.

In case of injury or limitation, perform single-arm dumbbell farmers carries. For the muscle-ups, perform low-ring muscle-up transitions. For the dumbbell snatches, perform single-arm dumbbell Russian swings.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
100-meter dumbbell farmers carry

Tuesday 251118

10-8-6-4-2 reps for time of:
Power snatches
Overhead squats
Bar muscle-ups

♀ 125 lb
♂ 185 lb

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout breaks up the squat snatch into two separate movements. The loading of the barbell is meant to be moderate to heavy; many will have to perform the snatches as singles. On the final snatch, keep the barbell overhead and try to go unbroken on your overhead squats. On the bar muscle-ups, choose a variation or scaling option that allows you to complete your reps in 2 sets or fewer. Expect this workout to be a bit of a grind. Dig in, focus on your technique, and don’t miss any lifts.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the snatches, perform hang snatches or muscle snatches. For the overhead squats, if a full range of motion is not possible, consider overhead squats with a reduced range of motion to a target or an overhead lunge. For the bar muscle-ups, perform jumping bar muscle-ups, chest-to-bar pull-ups, or chin-over-bar pull-ups.

In case of injury or limitation, for the snatches, perform dumbbell snatches or power cleans if there is an overhead limitation. For the overhead squats, perform dumbbell overhead squats or lunges. If there is an overhead limitation, perform front squats or back squats. For the bar muscle-ups, consider ring rows, low-ring muscle-up transitions, or foot-assisted pull-ups.

Saturday 251115

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:
400-meter run

Your score is the total number of bar-facing burpees accumulated.

Post total reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout challenges you with cycling a light-to-moderate barbell, coupled with a gut check to finish each interval. The loading for the snatch should allow you to cycle at least sets of 5 reps, if not more, especially with the allotted rest between intervals. Remember that in each interval, the snatches decrease in reps. The goal is to finish the snatches as quickly as possible to give yourself maximal time on the burpees. Try to do one more burpee than you want to.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the repetitions.

To reduce the complexity of the hang power snatches, perform hang muscle snatches or consider using a dumbbell to perform alternating hang dumbbell snatches. For the bar-facing burpees, perform regular burpees, not over a bar.

In case of injury or limitation, for the hang power snatches, perform kettlebell swings or hang power cleans if there is an overhead limitation. For the bar-facing burpees, consider up-downs.

Saturday 251018

3 rounds for time of:
30 alternating dumbbell snatches
30 burpee pull-ups

Set the pull-up bar 6 inches above your reach.

♀ 35 lb
♂ 50 lb

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a couplet with a bit of movement function interference. The loading of the dumbbell should allow you to maintain larger chunks of reps on the dumbbell snatches. If you can hang on and go unbroken through any of your sets, do it. For the burpee pull-ups, be smooth and methodical through your reps. Remember to breathe and pay attention to finishing the burpee directly underneath the pull-up bar, as this will increase efficiency and cycle times.

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the dumbbell. Reduce the reps of both movements.

To reduce the complexity of the dumbbell snatch, perform the movement from the hang position. For the burpee pull-ups, perform up-downs instead of burpees and lower the pull-up bar to allow you to use your legs more.

In case of injury or limitation, for the burpee pull-ups, perform up-downs in place of the burpees and ring rows for the pull-ups. For the dumbbell snatches, consider dumbbell cleans if there is an overhead limitation.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
30 alternating dumbbell snatches
20 burpee pull-ups

Set the pull-up bar at your fingertips when your arms are extended overhead.

20 lb

Monday 251006

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps for time of:
Ring dips

After each set, complete 3 squat snatches.

♀ 95 lb
♂ 135 lb

Post times to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a couplet with some movement interference. Expect the pressing of the ring dips and the lockout of the squat snatches to significantly tax the shoulders, as well as the compounding fatigue of the hip flexors from kipping the dips and the squat of the snatch. The loading of the barbell is meant to be moderate. Some may be able to perform touch-and-go reps, while it is also perfectly acceptable to perform 3 quick singles. Choose an option for the ring dips that allows you to consistently perform sets of 5 or more reps.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the reps of the ring dips.

To reduce the complexity of the ring dips, perform jumping ring dips or foot-assisted ring dips. Perform hang squat snatches or hang power snatches, plus an overhead squat in place of the squat snatch if needed.

In case of injury or limitation, for the ring dips, perform bench/box dips, push-ups, or dumbbell shoulder presses. For the squat snatches, perform power snatches if there is a squatting limitation. You may also consider power snatches, plus an overhead lunge.

Intermediate option:
12-10-8-6-4-2 reps for time of:
Ring dips

After each set, complete 3 squat snatches.

Snatch balance 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

Squat snatch 1-1-1-1-1-1-1 reps

Post loads to comments.

Compare to 230521.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a classic heavy day. Focus on the snatch balance first. The snatch balance is incredible for developing your ability to drive under the barbell, increasing stability in the receiving position, and building confidence when it comes to having an object overhead. The snatch balance should be an excellent warm-up and skill-building session before attempting your squat snatches. Do not be surprised if you hit a new PR due to practicing the snatch balance under challenging loads. If you are able, take the snatch balance out of a rack. As a precautionary measure, do not return the bar to the back-rack position as loads get heavy; drop the bar, and return it to the rack. As always, when we lift heavy, focus on the technique of the movement and only add weight as your technique allows.

Scaling:
To reduce the complexity of the snatch balance, perform a behind-the-neck snatch-grip push press, and then slowly lower into an overhead squat. For the squat snatch, perform a power snatch, then perform an overhead squat to a depth you are comfortable with.

In case of injury or limitation, consider a clean drop and a squat clean if there is an overhead limitation. Otherwise, reduce the loading of either movement to a weight that allows for pain-free range of motion.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
Behind-the-neck snatch-grip push press + overhead squat 2-2-2-2-2-2-2 reps

Power snatch + overhead squat 2-2-2-2-2-2-2 reps

Coaching cues:
In the snatch balance, press your body down, not the barbell up.

♂ 20-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target, 155-lb barbell, and a 24-inch box

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a chipper with an increasing number of wall-ball shots throughout. Like most chippers, manage your reps, minimize long breaks, and — pun intended — keep chipping away at the movements. The loading of the barbell is meant to be moderate for the snatches and light to moderate for the deadlifts. You may power or squat the snatches. Try to hang on to large chunks of wall-ball shots and see if you can go unbroken on the deadlifts to finish.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the medicine ball and barbell. Reduce the repetitions of each movement. Reduce the height of the box.

To reduce the complexity of the snatches, perform hang snatches. For the handstand push-ups, perform pike push-ups.

In case of injury or limitation, for the snatches, perform dumbbell snatches or power cleans if there is an overhead limitation. For the wall-ball shots, perform dumbbell thrusters, medicine-ball front squats (overhead limitation), or medicine-ball push presses (squat limitation). For the handstand push-ups, consider hand-release push-ups or seated dumbbell shoulder presses. For the box jumps, perform step-ups. For the deadlifts, perform sumo deadlifts, dumbbell deadlifts, or good mornings.

♀ 55-lb barbell
♂ 75-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

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).

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout combines challenging gymnastics elements with a moderate weightlifting movement. As your midline muscles fatigue from the L-sit holds, expect the rope climbs and the snatches to become more difficult. Choose a weight for the barbell that allows you to maintain a cadence of 6 or more reps per minute. Your best strategy on the snatches will be quick singles. Snatches may be performed as a power or squat variation. On the L-sit holds, choose an option that allows you to consistently hold for 10 seconds or more. Manage the pace of the rope climbs.

Scaling:
Reduce the duration of the L-sit holds. Reduce the number of reps for the rope climbs. Reduce the loading of the snatches.

To reduce the complexity of the L-sit holds, bend one leg or tuck both knees in toward the chest. For the legless rope climbs, reduce height or perform legged rope climbs. For the rope climbs, reduce the height or perform 3 strict pull-ups per rope climb. For the snatches, consider performing hang snatches.

In case of injury or limitation, for the L-sit holds, perform plank holds. For the rope climbs, perform pull-to-stands or ring rows. For the snatches, perform kettlebell swings or dumbbell snatches. If necessary, perform cleans if there is an overhead limitation.

Intermediate option:

Gymnailing It: Pistols and Overhead Squats

While many CrossFit athletes often view the pistol as just another skill to check off their list, gymnasts understand its true value as a foundation for more complex movements requiring balance, coordination, and flexibility. This article reveals how mastering pistol variations can directly improve your overhead squats, snatches, and snatch balances by developing the ankle mobility, unilateral strength, and spatial awareness these lifts demand. Learn two key drills: the two-legged pistol and candlestick pistol. These will build the neurological skills needed to excel in loaded overhead movements.

2 rounds for time of:
50 alternating dumbbell snatches
40 dumbbell lunges
30 lateral burpees over the dumbbell

♀ 35-lb dumbbell
♂ 50-lb dumbbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout contains two rounds with higher repetitions of each movement. With higher reps, manage your pace and move to rest minimally during your breaks. Athletes who want a challenge should go unbroken on the snatches and go right into the lunges. If you choose this route, buckle up and enjoy the ride. For the dumbbell lunges, carry the dumbbell however you like.

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the dumbbell. Reduce the repetitions of each exercise.

To reduce the complexity of the dumbbell snatches, perform hang dumbbell snatches. For the dumbbell lunges, perform without a dumbbell. For the lateral burpees over the dumbbell, perform burpees in place.

In case of an injury or limitation, for the dumbbell snatches, perform kettlebell swings or dumbbell cleans if there is an overhead limitation. For the dumbbell lunges, consider dumbbell step-ups to a low box or air squats to a target. For the lateral burpees over the dumbbell, perform up-downs.

♀ 105-lb barbell
♂ 155-lb barbell

Compare to 250319.

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a triplet with a low volume of reps in each set. Look back at your previous score to help navigate today’s effort. Expect to perform at least 6 rounds, knowing round times may decrease due to upper-body fatigue and the interfering lockout positions of the hang power snatches and strict handstand push-ups. By design, this workout demands upper-body stamina, strength, and endurance. To avoid hitting a wall, be intentional with your rest time between movements, and focus on using your legs in the hang power snatches to get the barbell overhead.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the jump rope, work for no more than 30 seconds, accumulating double-under reps. If necessary, perform single-unders or penguin hops. For the strict handstand push-ups, reduce the reps to no less than 3 in each round. You can also perform dumbbell push presses or shoulder presses as an alternative.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider riding a bike for 30 seconds per round in place of the jump rope. If you have an overhead limitation, perform single-arm dumbbell snatches or hang power cleans in place of the hang power snatches. For the strict handstand push-ups, consider push-ups or plank holds.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
20 double-unders

10 rounds for time of:
4 deadlifts
3 hang power snatches
2 overhead squats

♀ 105 lb
♂ 155 lb

Compare to 240522.

Post time to comments

Stimulus and Strategy:
This is a sprint workout that should be a balanced challenge of metabolic and muscular fatigue. The goal is to hang on to the barbell and move through each round in as few sets as possible. Look back at your previous score to help navigate today’s effort. The deadlifts should feel the easiest of the three movements. Your capacity with the hang power snatch and overhead squat will determine your load for the workout. Choose a weight that allows you to complete the entire workout in under 15 minutes. Advanced athletes should be able to keep each round to less than 1 minute. Have fun!

Scaling:
Reducing the load of the barbell will decrease the difficulty of each movement, as well as the complexity.

In case of injury or limitation, consider using a dumbbell for the deadlifts and hang power snatches. If you have an overhead limitation, perform hang power cleans and front squats.

Intermediate option:

Post loads to comments.

Compare to 250303.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is an opportunity to lift heavy. Keep in mind, heavy is relative to each individual's capacity and competence with the lift. Look back at your previous score to help you navigate today’s effort. The goal is to lift your heaviest load for each 5-minute section. Keep in mind, this is 15 minutes of continuous work without designated rest between segments. You can increase the loading across each minute, maintain the same weight for multiple sets, or stay at one weight for the entire workout. Newer and less-experienced athletes should focus on refining technique at submaximal loads rather than increasing the weight throughout the workout.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell to maintain the integrity of the lift.

To reduce the complexity of the lift, reduce the loading, and consider performing a hang power snatch to avoid having to navigate the knees.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider performing a power clean for an overhead limitation. You can also perform single-arm snatches with a dumbbell or kettlebell.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
Same as Rx’d.

Coaching cues:
As you cycle the barbell, focus on pressing the hips back, pulling the barbell into the body, and brushing the thighs as the barbell returns to the floor.

♀ 35-lb dumbbell
♂ 50-lb dumbbell

Post reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is essentially three 4-minute efforts. Two of these efforts are Tabata double-unders and the couplet is a 4-minute AMRAP (as many reps as possible). Your score today is total reps. The loading of the dumbbell should be relatively light and allow you to complete your reps unbroken. Choose an option for the single-leg squats that allows you to keep moving.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbell.

To reduce the complexity of the double-unders, perform single-unders. For the single-leg squats, consider performing single-leg squats to a target or single-leg squats with the non-squatting leg wrapped around the heel of the squatting leg.

In case of injury or limitation, perform calories on any available machine in place of the double-unders. For the dumbbell hang snatches, perform dumbbell hang cleans (overhead limitation). For the single-leg squats, consider reverse lunges or air squats.

Snatch 2-2-2-2-2 reps

Compare to 180904.

Post loads to comments

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a classic lifting day to follow yesterday's longer effort. Depending on how you feel, use today as an opportunity to work on technique or to lift something relatively heavy. The repetitions in each set do not have to be touch-and-go. You may regrip and take no more than 10 seconds to perform the second lift. The snatch in today’s effort can be performed as a power or squat variation. Newer athletes should focus on developing consistently sound mechanics before adding weight.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the movements, consider performing hang power or hang squat snatches.

In case of injury or limitation, perform dumbbell snatches. If there is an overhead limitation, perform cleans instead.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
Same as Rx’d.

Coaching cues:
If you find yourself jumping forward on your lifts, try getting your head and shoulders behind the barbell at the finish of the second pull.

8 alternating dumbbell snatches
18 toes-to-bars
12 lateral burpees over the dumbbell
6 alternating dumbbell snatches

♀ 50-lb dumbbell
♂ 75-lb dumbbell

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout has three movements organized in a descending rep scheme. Aim to move through as quickly as possible while minimizing your breaks. The loading of the dumbbell should be moderate to heavy. This may require you to reset and switch hands with the dumbbell on the floor. Following the dumbbell snatches, pay attention to your grip on the toes-to-bars. If you break, count to five, then jump back up on the bar.

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the dumbbell. Reduce the reps of the toes-to-bars and burpees.

To reduce the complexity of the toes-to-bars, reduce the range of motion. Consider performing knees-to-chests or hanging knee raises. For the dumbbell snatches, perform them from the hang position.

In case of injury or limitation, perform V-ups or AbMat sit-ups in place of the toes-to-bars. For the burpees, perform up-downs. For the dumbbell snatches, perform Russian kettlebell swings.

Intermediate option:

Saturday 250510

Every 5 minutes for 5 rounds:
5 power snatches
400/500-meter row

Rest with the remaining time in the interval.

Post loads and total round times.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a bit of a choose your own adventure. The snatch loading is totally up to you. That being said, the workout is designed to have some rest between each interval, so choose a weight that allows you to rest. You can go heavy and practice singles or cycling a heavier barbell, or you can go light and focus on technique or cycling a lighter weight. When you get to the rower, push the pace. If you are feeling “beat up” from yesterday’s workout, today can be more of a recovery/technique day.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the distance of the row.

To reduce the complexity of the snatch, consider a hang power snatch.

In case of injury or limitation, consider a 900/1,250-meter Echo bike or a 400-meter run. For the snatch, consider a dumbbell snatch or power clean if there is an overhead limitation.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:
Every 5:00 for 5 rounds:
5 power snatches
200/250-meter row

Rest with the remaining time in the interval.

Coaching cues:
During the first and second pulls of the snatch, focus on keeping the barbell close to your body as you pull your knees back and lift your shoulders at the same time. When you reach the mid-thigh position, your shoulders should be over the barbell with your arms long.

Friday 250502

9 rounds for time of:
3 strict muscle-ups
3 kettlebell snatches, right arm
3 kettlebell snatches, left arm

♀ 35-lb kettlebell
♂ 53-lb kettlebell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Think of today as a bit of a skill day. While some athletes may be able to move more quickly than others, expect the strict muscle-ups to inevitably slow you down — not to mention the movement interference when paired with the kettlebell snatch. Choose an option for the strict muscle-ups that allows you to practice where you need improvement. For some, this may be strength, while for others, this may be the transition portion of the movement. Slow it down, focus on the technique, and have some fun.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the kettlebell. For those who have strict ring muscle-ups but do not have the volume for today, reduce the number of reps to as few as 1 in each round.

To reduce the complexity of the ring muscle-ups, perform low-ring muscle-up transitions. Adjust the difficulty of this movement by using your feet as needed. For the kettlebell snatches, perform the movement with a dumbbell or perform single-arm Russian kettlebell swings.

In case of injury or limitation, the ring muscle-up transitions can be performed with a single arm. However, this will require more support from your legs. So, move yourself into a position that allows you to use more legs.

Intermediate option:
9 rounds for time of:
1 strict muscle-up
3 kettlebell snatches, right arm
3 kettlebell snatches, left arm

26-lb kettlebell
35-lb kettlebell

Beginner option:
9 rounds for time of:
3 low-ring muscle-up transitions
3 dumbbell snatches, right arm
3 dumbbell snatches, left arm

Post total time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is three intervals with descending rep schemes. The rest in between each interval should allow you to keep intensity high throughout the entire effort. Aim for big to unbroken sets of reps on both the pull-ups and burpees. The loading of the barbell should be light to moderate and allow you to perform some touch-and-go reps.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell. Reduce the reps of any of the movements.

To reduce the complexity of pull-ups, perform jumping pull-ups or ring rows. For the burpees, perform up-downs. For the power snatches, perform hang power snatches or dumbbell snatches.

In case of injury or limitation, perform single-arm ring rows or dumbbell rows for the pull-ups. For the power snatches, perform power cleans if there is an overhead limitation.

Tuesday 250415

Complete as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
10 push-ups
10 dumbbell snatches, right arm
10 toes-to-bars
10 dumbbell snatches, left arm

♀ 35-lb dumbbell
♂ 50-lb dumbbell

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
In today’s workout, the repetitions in each round are few enough that you can move through rounds relatively quickly. Aim for a single round to take no more than about 2 minutes. Try to go unbroken through as many sets as possible, however, as grip becomes an issue, break up the toes-to-bars as needed and manage your rest time.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbell and volume of the push-ups and toes-to-bars.

To reduce the complexity of the push-ups, consider performing push-ups from the knees or with the hands elevated to a 30-inch box. For the dumbbell snatches, consider performing hang dumbbell snatches. For the toes-to-bars, reduce the height of the toes or consider knees-to-chests or hanging knee raises.

However, if you have toes-to-bars, but 10 reps per round is too many, reduce the reps to no less than 5. This is a great way to practice and develop the movement.

In case of injury or limitation, perform dumbbell cleans for the dumbbell snatches, dumbbell floor presses for the push-ups, and consider V-ups or sit-ups for the toes-to-bars.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
10 push-ups
10 dumbbell snatches, right arm
10 knees-to-chests
10 dumbbell snatches, left arm

Monday 250324

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
3 ring muscle-ups
6 right-arm kettlebell snatches
6 left-arm kettlebell snatches
9 GHD sit-ups

♀ 35-lb kettlebell
♂ 53-lb kettlebell

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a gymnastics and weightlifting triplet. The reps are low, which will allow you to accumulate a good amount of rounds. Athletes should aim to complete at least 5 rounds. Expect the volume accumulation of GHD sit-ups into the kip swing and hip extension in the kettlebell snatches to be challenging. If you have not been training consistently with the GHD sit-up, consider scaling options and alternatives.

Scaling:
Reduce the load of the kettlebell.

To reduce the complexity of the muscle-ups, consider performing fewer reps per round — 1 or 2. You may also consider jumping muscle-ups or low-ring transitions. For the kettlebell snatches, consider single-arm kettlebell swings to eye level or hang dumbbell snatches. For the GHD sit-ups, reduce the range of motion or perform V-ups or AbMat sit-ups.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider ring rows or low-ring muscle-up transitions in place of the muscle-ups. For the kettlebell snatches and GHD sit-ups, consider the scales mentioned above.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
3 ring muscle-ups
6 right-arm kettlebell snatches
6 left-arm kettlebell snatches
9 GHD sit-ups to parallel

26-lb kettlebell

6 left-arm kettlebell swings to eye level
9 sit-ups

18-lb kettlebell
26-lb kettlebell

Coaching cues:
On the kettlebell snatch, extend the hips just like you would a kettlebell swing. Then, to keep the bell close to your body, pull back on the kettlebell with the elbow moving high and outside. This action gets the bell moving vertically and closer to the body.

Wednesday 250319

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
20 double-unders
5 hang power snatches
5 strict handstand push-ups

♀ 105-lb barbell
♂ 155-lb barbell

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a triplet with a lower volume of reps in each set. Expect to perform at least 6 rounds. Round times may decrease due to upper-body fatigue, and the interfering lockout positions of the hang power snatch and strict handstand push-up. By design, this workout demands upper-body stamina, strength, and endurance. To avoid hitting a wall, be intentional with your rest time between movements and focus on using your legs in the hang power snatches to get the barbell overhead. Work hard and have fun.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the jump rope, work for no more than 30 seconds, accumulating double-under reps. If necessary, perform single-unders or penguin hops. For the strict handstand push-ups, reduce the reps to no less than 3 in each round. You can also perform dumbbell push presses or shoulder presses as an alternative.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider riding a bike for 30 seconds per round in place of the jump rope. If you have an overhead limitation, perform single-arm dumbbell snatches or hang power cleans in place of the hang power snatches. As for the strict handstand push-ups, consider push-ups or plank holds.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 15 minutes of:
20 double-unders
5 hang power snatches
3 strict handstand push-ups

Unlock Stronger Barbell Lifts: The Crucial Role of Your Lats in Deadlifts, Cleans, and Snatches

Your lats play a critical yet often overlooked role in barbell movements like the deadlift, clean, and snatch. As the largest upper-body muscle, they help maintain bar path efficiency by keeping the weight close to your center of mass, reducing strain on your lower back, and improving lifting mechanics. Engaging your lats properly during the setup and pull phases prevents bar drift, enhances control, and leads to stronger, more efficient lifts. Try these drills to get your lats working more purposefully.

♀ 95 lb
♂ 135 lb

Post time to comments.

Compare to similar 220407.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Amanda is a classic benchmark workout. Typically, this workout is performed with a squat snatch, however, today we are going to perform a power snatch. Most athletes should aim to complete the workout in 12 minutes or less. Some more advanced athletes could finish in 5 minutes or less.

Scaling:
Reduce the volume of the muscle-ups. Athletes who have muscle-ups, but not the overall volume, should consider reducing the repetitions to 7-5-3 or 4-3-2.

To adjust the complexity of the muscle-ups, perform a jumping muscle-up, low-ring transition, or ring rows and push-ups. For the power snatch, perform a hang power snatch, a hang muscle snatch, or a dumbbell snatch.

In case of an injury or limitation, consider performing low-ring transitions, or ring rows and push-ups. For the power snatch, consider a hang power clean or single-arm dumbbell snatch.
