Meet Guest Programmers - Kristi and Patrick O’Connell: Sept 16-29, 2024.

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 16 minutes of:
400-meter run
6 burpees to a 6-inch target
6 bar muscle-ups
10 dumbbell walking lunges

♀ 35 lb
♂ 50 lb

Post round and reps to comments

Scaling:
Today’s workout is an AMRAP! Focus on being smooth on the burpees, breaking muscle-ups or toes-to-bars as needed, and going unbroken on the lunges. For the burpees, jump to a target that is 6 inches above your fingertips when your arms are extended. Use a dumbbell weight that allows you to do the lunges unbroken for all 16 minutes while holding the dumbbells in a farmers carry position. If you finish on the run, every 50 meters completed equals 1 rep. Aim to get 3 to 5 rounds.

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 16 minutes of:
400-meter run
6 burpees to a target
8 toes-to-bars
10 dumbbell walking lunges

♀ 25 lb
♂ 45 lb

Beginner option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 14 minutes of:
200-meter run
4 burpees to a target
6 sit-ups
9 bodyweight walking lunges

Coaching cues:
On the bar muscle-ups, press the pull-up bar toward the hips and keep the body as close to the bar as possible. The further the body is away from the bar, the harder it will be to make the transition.

Saturday 240817

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:

6 lateral burpees over a dumbbell
12 dumbbell front-rack lunges
24 double-unders

♀ 35-lb dumbbells
♂ 50-lb dumbbells

Scaling:
Today’s workout keeps the reps low and challenges you to keep moving for the full 10 minutes. Advanced athletes should try to perform a round every 1:00-1:30 and hang on. Less-experienced athletes should aim to complete a round every 2:00. Look to reduce the loading of the dumbbells to something you can perform unbroken reps for the entire workout. Perform the burpees over a single dumbbell (do not stack the dumbbells on top of each other).

Intermediate option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:

6 lateral burpees over a dumbbell
12 dumbbell front-rack lunges
30 seconds of double-unders

20-lb dumbbells
35-lb dumbbells

Beginner option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:

6 lateral burpees over a dumbbell
12 single-dumbbell goblet lunges
24 single-unders

10-lb dumbbells
15-lb dumbbells

Coaching cues:
Does it sometimes feel like your jump rope is getting shorter as you perform double-unders? Check your arms. If your hands move away from your sides, you're bound to trip up. Think about bending your elbows and flicking your wrists down toward the floor.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a longer-duration grunt-work effort, and is meant to help prep you for CHAD1000X in November. Use a load that allows you to keep moving for most of the workout. You should aim to complete at least 2 rounds. Grab a friend or group of people, get out of the gym, and get to work.

Saturday 240720

3 rounds for time of:

50 alternating single-leg squats
3 rope climbs to 15 feet
800-meter run

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a longer effort. Expect the single-leg squats to tax your hip flexors and quads, making the rope climb and run more challenging. To overcome your taxed lower half on the rope climbs, focus on a tight foot hook to minimize any amount of slippage. As for the run, focus on running taller and elongating your lower half as you head into the next round. All athletes should aim to complete each round in 10 minutes or less.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time:

30 alternating single-leg squats
2 rope climbs to 15 feet
800-meter run

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time:

30 alternating reverse lunges
4 lying-to-standing rope climbs
400-meter run

Coaching cues:

♀ 20-inch box, 26-lb kettlebell, 35-lb push press, 14-lb ball
♂ 24-inch box, 35-lb kettlebell, 45-lb push press, 20-lb ball

Record your Filthy 50 score in the CrossFit app and/or post to comments.

Compare to 230909.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a classic chipper of 500 reps of 10 movements called the Filthy Fifty. The workout was originally programmed on June 19, 2005. This longer workout is characterized by intermediate-level bodyweight movements and light loads that allow people to keep moving with limited rest. Newer athletes should reduce the volume and use movement modifications that ensure large sets and short rest breaks.

Intermediate option:
For time:
50 box jumps
50 jumping pull-ups
50 kettlebell swings
50 walking-lunge steps
50 knees-to-elbows
50 push presses

30 kettlebell swings
30 walking-lunge steps
30 hanging leg raises
30 push presses
30 hip extensions

12-inch box, 9-lb kettlebell, 15-lb push press, 8-lb ball
16-inch box, 18-lb kettlebell, 25-lb push press, 10-lb ball

Coaching cues:
The jumping pull-up offers a major dose of intensity while simultaneously building strength, body awareness, and coordination. It’s easily scalable as athletes raise or lower the height of the jump and/or use more or less of their upper vs. lower body, building the strength, stamina, and skill required to master the pull-up.

3 rounds for time of:
10 muscle-ups
10 forward rolls
20 alternating single-leg squats
20-meter handstand walk

Compare to 101203.

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a bit off the beaten path and will definitely get you out of your comfort zone. This workout is a true expression of coordination, agility, accuracy, and balance (the neurological skills in the 10 general physical skills). Without these skills, learning new movements and connecting the dots becomes very difficult. For most, expect this workout to be on the slower, less-intense side of fitness — this is OK. Today is a great day to practice skills and challenge yourself with new movements. Less-experienced athletes should reduce the difficulty of each movement, but maintain the movement function to the best of their ability (e.g., scale the handstand walk to a bear crawl). Have fun today!

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
5 muscle-ups
10 forward rolls
20 alternating single-leg squats
10-meter handstand walk

Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:

Wednesday 240612

3 rounds for time:
400-meter farmers carry
35 GHD sit-ups

♀ 20-lb dumbbells
♂ 35-lb dumbbells

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a midline march and a bit of a grind. The goal is to hang on to the dumbbells for as long as possible on the farmers carries and complete each round of the GHD sit-ups in 3 sets or less. If you can jog with the weights, do it. Each farmers carry should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Expect the sit-ups to make the carries a bit more challenging. Focus on standing up taller on the carries to help open up your lungs so you can breathe more efficiently. Less-experienced athletes should reduce the load of the dumbbells, the distance of the farmers carry, and the difficulty of the sit-up. Work hard and have fun today!

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time:
400-meter farmers carry
20 GHD sit-ups to parallel

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a short sprint of pure grunt work. The calories on the bike are meant to be completed as fast as possible with the first set taking no more than 90 seconds. The sandbag should be moderately heavy. If you don’t have a sandbag, substitute a heavy D-ball or a barbell power clean (125/185 lb). The goal is to finish between 5-7 minutes, while some may push for sub-5 minutes. This workout will test the lungs and legs.

4 wall walks
8 chest-to-bar pull-ups
12 single-dumbbell overhead walking lunges

♀ 35 lb
♂ 50 lb

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

♀ 14-lb ball to a 9-foot target, 20-inch box
♂ 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.

Tuesday 240409

3 rounds for time of:
10 strict chest-to-bar pull-ups
20 hand-release push-ups
30 dumbbell front-rack walking lunges

♀ 20 lb
♂ 35 lb

Post times to comments.

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.

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
10 strict chin-over-bar pull-ups
20 hand-release push-ups
30 dumbbell front-rack walking lunges

♀ 15 lb

Complete as many calories as possible in 10 minutes of:

50 alternating dumbbell snatches
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!

5 rounds for time:
12 knees-to-elbows
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

Beginner option:
5 rounds for time:
12 hanging knee raises
12 alternating reverse lunges

50-meter weighted lunge
350-meter farmers carry

♀ 30-lb dumbbells
♂ 45-lb dumbbells

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.

GHD sit-ups

♀ 125 lb
♂ 185 lb

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.
