Today's workout is the final 2024 Service Cup workout in honor of CrossFit Kids Seminar Staff Flowmaster Kelly Brown who died on Sept. 15, 2020, after a courageous five-year battle with ovarian cancer.

This workout is a grind that rewards a consistent and steady pace. Aim to complete each round in 5 minutes or less. The load of the barbell should allow you to perform at least 3 unbroken deadlifts every time you pick it up. The prescribed load of the medicine ball has been adjusted from the original workout to make it more accessible for the Service Cup. If you are not signed up for the Service Cup, feel free to use the original load for the wall-ball shots (20/30 lb). Work hard and have fun.

5 rounds for time:
440-meter row

Guest Programmer – Christian Harris
June 24-July 7, 2024

For time:
5 rope climbs to 15 feet
25 deadlifts
50 wall-ball shots
200-foot farmers carry
50 wall-ball shots
25 deadlifts
5 rope climbs to 15 feet

♀ 155-lb barbell, 50-lb dumbbells, 14-lb medicine ball to a 9-foot target
♂ 225-lb barbell, 70-lb dumbbells, 20-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target

Scaling:
Today’s pyramid workout is going to be a grind with each movement effectively fatiguing the following movement. For example, the rope climbs will affect your grip during the deadlifts, while the deadlifts will tax your legs for the wall-ball shots, and so on. Advanced athletes can push to finish under 12-13 minutes. However, expect most to complete today’s workout in the 15- to 20-minute range. Choose scaling and loading options that allow you to keep moving consistently. Use a load for the deadlifts that will allow you to complete them in 3 or less sets the first time through.

Medicine-ball cleans

Double-unders

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Don’t underestimate today’s workout. The medicine-ball clean is deceptive and very effective. The load should be light and allow you to perform at least 20 reps unbroken. Some athletes may be able to go unbroken on all sets. Even though the ball is light, don’t cheat the movement. Focus on hitting full hip extension and pulling your body under the ball on each rep. Sneaking under the ball before full hip extension may be faster, but that technique will only get you so far when it comes to a squat clean with a heavy barbell. Less-experienced athletes should reduce the load and reps of the cleans as well as the difficulty of the double-unders.
