4 rounds for time of:

Run 400 meters

50 squats

Post time to comments.

Compare to 181224.



Scaling:

You should be moving almost continuously in this workout. Reduce the run distance so you can go right into the squats, and reduce the number of squats so you can start running right after the last rep is complete.

Beginner Option:

3 rounds for time of:

Jog 400 meters
30 squats

Monday 230213

3 rounds for time of:

50 GHD sit-ups

25 strict handstand push-ups

Post time to comments.

Compare to 180304.



Scaling:

This workout contains many reps of two high-skill movements. Each round offers a large dose of both exercises, so plan on breaking them into multiple small sets. Drop the reps and modify the movements to something that is challenging but still allows you to keep moving. Newer athletes might want to avoid the GHD sit-ups completely until they have built up a tolerance for this very potent movement.

Intermediate Option:

3 rounds for time of:

30 GHD sit-ups

20 kipping handstand push-ups

Beginner Option:

3 rounds for time of:

30 sit-ups

15 push-ups

Practice a 250-m row during your warm-up to establish a pace for the workout. Select a thruster load that allows you to complete 25 consecutive reps in the warm-up. If you are unable to perform chest-to-bar pull-ups, use an option that develops the prerequisite strength.

Compare to 200715.



Scaling:

Grace and Isabel are two of the fastest CrossFit benchmark workouts. Reduce the load so you can perform multiple reps unbroken and complete all the reps in less than 5 minutes. Athletes less familiar with Olympic lifting should take time to drill the mechanics of each movement and reduce the load drastically.

Intermediate Option:

Monday 230206

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

25 burpees

15 body-weight back squats

Post rounds completed to comments.



Scaling:

This long couplet will challenge your will as much as your body. Choose reps and loads that allow you to maintain a steady pace with limited breaks. You may or may not be able to complete the squats in one set, and the later rounds will be particularly challenging. Newer athletes might want to reduce the duration of the workout.

Intermediate Option:

Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:

20 burpees

10 ¾-bodyweight back squats

Beginner Option:

Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
