Goal: Midline and upper-body endurance. Aim to finish in 10 minutes or less.
This workout will give us a dose of humble pie. The first set of wall walks is a high number and will keep us busy for upward of a minute to 1:30. In contrast, the wall-ball shots will likely take the same amount of time each round, which means the first 2 rounds of wall walks will compound quickly. The higher target for the wall-ball shots adds an element of difficulty that will increase the demand on the core, making the wall walks much more difficult. To make things even more challenging, the arms are overhead for a good portion of the workout.
If you can't throw higher, throw heavier.
Michelle Duke, one of our coaches, is the creator of this workout and has already tested it. She has offered us some words of wisdom:
– Warm up the wall ball to the 10-foot target because that first set can take you by surprise.
– The wall balls were enough to slow down my wall walks.
– The shoulders will fatigue but the demand on the core had my wall walks feeling really sloppy.
This means:
– Get a good warm-up.
– Focus on proper mechanics and positioning for the wall walks: Tight hollow body, neutral spine and short steps.

Intermediate athletes will use the standard loads and target heights for the wall-ball shots. Since athletes will not get fully inverted, they may find their cores to be even more challenged.

6 inchworms

3 inchworms
10 wall-ball shots
♀ 8-lb ball to 8-ft target
♂ 10-lb ball to 9-ft target
This workout will challenge core endurance. For beginners, the inchworm requires flexibility, a tight core, and weight transfer in the shoulders. Athletes can perform the inchworms moving forward or inching out to the plank position and backward to a standing position. The first 12 inchworms should take 1:00-1:30. The wall-ball shots should be done with a comfortable weight and athletes should aim for 10 unbroken reps throughout.

Today we’re using a heavier medicine ball than we typically see on the wall ball and mixing in weighted runs. Select a weight outside your comfort zone and tackle this grueling workout. Beginners should reduce the overall volume.

Today is a mental grind. How deep are you willing to go into the pain cave? Can you keep moving even though your mind is telling you to quit? This workout will help you answer these questions. The goal is to finish all 21 reps in 40-59 seconds and hang on for as many rounds as possible. If you are unable to perform the required repetitions within the minute, your workout is over. If you can make it through 15 sets, congratulations, and do not go any further. Hitting this workout as prescribed is tempting, but consider scaling the movements to finish at least 7 sets. Stay mentally strong and good luck.

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.
