CrossFit's Workout Of The Day

7 sets for load of:
1 hang power snatch
1 overhead squat
1 hang squat snatch

Increase load each set.

Post-Workout Challenge

3 sets:
1 hang power snatch
1 overhead squat
1 hang squat snatch

Choose your own load, and make one attempt.
Hands must stay on the bar; no breaking between sets.

Post load for each part to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a heavy snatch complex, building in load. Remember that heavy is relative to you — challenge yourself with a heavier weight while still maintaining sound mechanics. Check back to your most recent snatch and overhead squat numbers to help gauge today's lifts.

Each step of this complex builds on the last, zeroing in on a specific piece of the snatch. On the hang power snatch, focus on full hip and leg extension, pulling into a sound partial overhead squat. On the overhead squat, focus on a solid overhead position through the full range of motion. And on the hang squat snatch, focus on full leg and hip extension with an aggressive pull-under into a full overhead squat.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:
7 sets for load of:
3 hang power snatches
3 overhead squats to a target

Practice mechanics and fine-tune technique.

♀ 35-lb dumbbell
♂ 50-lb dumbbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Welcome to the final workout of the 2026 Everyday Hero Service Cup. This is a sprint effort — just move. If you are signed up for the Service Cup, perform one of the competition variants, and log your score. If you are not signed up, scale the workout to fit your needs and capacity. Aim to complete the double-unders in 1:30 or faster. The dumbbell loading should be light-to-moderate and allow you to complete the dumbbell snatches in 2:00 or faster. Relax your shoulders during the double-unders, and keep your hands close to your sides. During the snatches, make sure you stand tall before using your arms. Pulling or shrugging early will fatigue your shoulders even more and tank your second set of double-unders. If you are 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.

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.

2026 Community Cup Workout 4

2 rounds for time of:
150 double-unders
100 air squats
50 alternating dumbbell snatches

♀ 35-lb dumbbell
♂ 50-lb dumbbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Welcome to the fourth workout of the 2026 Community Cup, created by Corey Waltz from Iron House CrossFit. If you're signed up for the Community Cup, perform the variation for your level — this year, you're also welcome to compete at a level above your own if you choose. If you're not signed up, scale the workout to fit your needs and capacity.

This is a longer, stamina-based effort. Aim for a smooth, constantly moving pace from start to finish. Dumbbell loading should be light to moderate, allowing at least 10 reps every time you pick it up. Advanced athletes not signed up for the Community Cup can challenge themselves with a heavier dumbbell.

If you're signed up for the Community Cup, don't forget to log your scores.

Intermediate option:
2 rounds for time of:
75 double-unders OR 225 single-unders
100 air squats

Snatch 2-2-2-2-2-2-2 reps

Compare to 260105 or 260309.

Post loads to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a heavy day. Keep in mind that heavy is relative to each athlete. Look back at Jan. 5 and March 9 to compare with similar heavy snatch day numbers. You may regrip between reps. Build to a heavy double across 7 sets. If you miss a lift, reduce the load and make the needed corrections before building back up.

Spend time in your warm-up working on the squat snatch. If you need to switch from a power snatch to a squat snatch as the weight increases, this can be a challenging transition without practice.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, you'll take on a triplet of rowing for calories, dumbbell snatches, and 5 sets of max-reps dumbbell-facing burpees. Aim to complete the row in 1:15 or less with a sprint effort and quickly transition into the snatches. Then, finish the dumbbell snatches in 45 seconds or less, leaving yourself at least 30 seconds to perform burpees. Time for a gut check!

2009 CrossFit Games Event 5

3 rounds for time of:
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

♀ 35-lb barbell and a 10-lb medicine ball to a 9-foot target
♂ 55-lb barbell and a 14-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target

Beginner option:

Rest Day

The Last Lift: Inside the Second Afternoon of a CrossFit Level 1 Seminar

The last hours of the Level 1 Certificate Course carry a quality that is hard to name and easy to feel. The afternoon moves through the GHD most gyms ignore, the muscle-up that defeats most people at the transition, the snatch broken down until anyone can learn it, and the programming lecture that finally answers a question everyone has been circling for two days. The Level 1 does not give you mastery; it gives you a map, a standard, and two days in a room with people who care whether you get there.

2 rope climbs
3 power snatches
1 rope climb

♀ 95-lb barbell
♂ 135-lb barbell

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.

30 alternating dumbbell hang snatches

*The shuttle run is 25 feet out and 25 feet back.

♀ 35-lb dumbbell
♂ 50-lb dumbbell

Post rounds and reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
This workout will be a hard effort that will tax your grip and your posture. Choose a dumbbell that is light enough to allow you to maintain unbroken suitcase carries, switching arms as needed on each trip. Push to maintain a consistent shuttle run pace, finishing each effort in under 90 seconds. Push for large sets of hang snatches with minimal breaks, if any. If you are on the fence, going a little lighter rather than a little heavier will make the most sense today.

♀ 105/125/145-lb barbell
♂ 155/185/205-lb barbell

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.

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.

♀ 35-lb kettlebell
♂ 53-lb kettlebell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a triplet that will tax your overall conditioning. A unique component is that the movements are redundant in their functions, and will place a significant demand on the posterior chain and grip. Switch hands as needed on the kettlebell snatches, but try to get through each round of snatches and swings unbroken or with one short break. Resist the urge to pace yourself on the run and push hard.

Hang power snatch 2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2-2 reps

Compare to similar 230122.

Post loads to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a heavy day. Keep in mind that heavy is relative to each athlete. Be sure to keep track of your heaviest lift, so you can compare it to future lifts. Start between 60-70% of your 1-rep max, and take small jumps, building from there. Rest about 2 minutes between sets. Increase loading across each lift if possible. If you miss a lift, reduce the weight and make the needed corrections before building back up.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a previous Open workout. Be sure to look at your score from 2024 to help you navigate this effort. In the original workout, there was a 15-minute time cap; however, for today, if you need to push past that mark to finish, do it. Try to hang on to unbroken sets of the snatches for as long as possible. On the burpees, just keep moving — even moving slowly is better than not moving at all. The loading for the dumbbell should allow you to complete your set of 21 in 2 sets or fewer.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a bit of a sprint. Expect your midline to be taxed and then force you to move a moderate load while under fatigue. Push for unbroken sets on the GHD and move quickly with the descending rep scheme. As for the barbell, aim to complete the snatches in 3 sets or fewer each round. Try not to stare at the barbell for too long. Get your hands back on it and go.

Post time and total strict pull-ups to the comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is simple, yet challenging, with a goal time of 13-18 minutes. Each row is intended to be completed at a moderate-to-hard pace that allows for completion in 1:45-2:15 — scale the distances to get you close to these time range goals. The sit-up volume is high, and 40 reps will be difficult to achieve at a rapid pace, but shoot to complete these in no more than 2 minutes; scale as needed to do so. Choose a moderate dumbbell snatch load that allows you to complete at least 15-20 reps consecutively. The demand of this movement will be made more difficult due to the row and sit-ups that precede it. It will take time to establish the correct mechanics and the correct load prior to starting the workout.

Post reps to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we have a short AMRAP with some intended pressing interference between the snatches and overhead squats. Efficient use of your hips in the snatch will save your shoulders a bit for the overhead squats. Keep your working arm locked out in the overhead squat to maintain the ability to push through fatigue. Use the lateral jumps to catch your breath and allow your shoulders to rest before starting the next set of snatches.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today, we have a longer-duration triplet. Aim to complete the first set in 6 minutes or less. Stay smooth on this one — none of the movements should stop you in your tracks, and with the descending rep scheme, aim to keep the pace up. Choose a dumbbell loading that allows you to complete at least 15 reps to start.

Starting today and continuing through January, the CrossFit Affiliate Programming (CAP) team will be programming for CrossFit.com to create a shared experience for the community. This month we will prioritize improving technique and efficiency for movements often seen in the CrossFit Open!

The CAP team creates data-driven programming, class plans, daily coaching development tools, and logistical support for CrossFit affiliates. Visit crossfit.com/programming for more about CAP’s offerings, including daily workouts, comprehensive class plans, scaling options, warm-ups, timelines, bonus competitors programming, movement demos, and educational resources.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today's workout is a heavy day. Keep in mind that heavy is relative to each athlete. Compare your heaviest lift today to your last lift, and keep track of your result so you can compare it to future retests. Aim to complete 6 to 10 heavy lifts within the 20-minute timeframe. This will allow for the right amount of rest between lifts. Increase loading across each lift, if possible. If you miss a lift, reduce the load and make the needed corrections before building back up.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx'd.

Beginner option:
Same as Rx'd.

Post time to comments.

Compare to 240329.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a classic CrossFit benchmark. This effort elegantly combines technique of a complex lift and efficiency of cycling repetitions. The loading of the barbell should be moderate. If you can perform the prescribed loading safely and keep your overall time under 15 minutes, go for it. Otherwise, adjust the weight, dial in the technique, and get after it. If you have completed this workout in the past, look back at your loading and time to help you navigate today’s effort.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the barbell.

To reduce the complexity of the snatch, perform hang snatches.

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

Intermediate option:
For time:
30 snatches

♀ 75 lb
♂ 115 lb

Beginner option:
For time:

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
5 jumping muscle-ups
15 dumbbell snatches, right arm
15 dumbbell snatches, left arm

♀ 20-lb dumbbells

♀ 10-lb dumbbells
♂ 15-lb dumbbells

Coaching cues:
Because of the conflicting movement functions, focus on a tight, efficient kip swing during the ring muscle-ups, pressing the rings toward the hips and then, looking for your toes as you transition to the bottom of the dip.

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.

Intermediate option:
10-8-6-4-2 reps for time of:
Power snatches
Overhead squats
Chest-to-bar pull-ups

♀ 75 lb
♂ 115 lb

Beginner option:

For the jumping pull-ups, set the pull-up bar to where it touches your forearms when you extend your arms overhead.

♀ 35 lb
♂ 45 lb

Coaching cues:
On the overhead squat, press up into the barbell and pull it back over the middle of your body as you squat.

10 Minutes to Better Snatches: Maintaining Technique With Minimal Time Investment

Maintaining razor-sharp snatch technique doesn't require hours of dedicated practice — just consistent 10-minute sessions twice a week. This progressive three-week practice cycle uses the Burgener warm-up and position-specific drills to help you hit the mid-thigh, nail your footwork, and pull yourself under the bar with lightning speed.

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
30 AbMat sit-ups
15 kettlebell snatches, right arm

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.

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
♂ 35 lb

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
15 alternating dumbbell snatches
15 burpee jumping pull-ups

Set the pull-up bar at the middle of your forearms when your arms are extended overhead.

♀ 10 lb
♂ 15 lb

Coaching cues:
In your burpees, pick a spot on the ground to put your chest. This spot should allow you to jump your feet or step your feet up directly underneath the pull-up bar.
