For time:
50 dumbbell push presses
50 box jumps
50 dumbbell front squats
50 GHD sit-ups
50 dumbbell thrusters

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
In this workout, we deconstruct the dumbbell thruster into the push press and the front squat before combining them again — all paired with a test of leg and core stamina in the box jumps and GHD sit-ups.

This dumbbell chipper starts fast and gets a bit sticky in the front squats. In order to finish in sub-15 minutes, you will need to keep moving on the thrusters, stringing together big sets.

The accumulation of work becomes evident when you start your first couple of thrusters. Dig in and go big for the finish!

The goal is to be done around the 20-minute mark.

Intermediate option:
For time:
35 dumbbell push presses
35 box jumps
35 dumbbell front squats
35 GHD sit-ups to parallel

Quarterfinals Workout 1

4 rounds for max reps:
1 minute of snatches
1 minute of rowing for calories
1 minute of dumbbell box step-ups
1 minute of rest

♀ 85-lb barbell and 35-lb dumbbells to a 20-inch box
♂ 135 lb barbell and 50-lb dumbbells to a 20-inch box

Post total reps to comments.

Scaling:
Welcome to the first workout of the 2024 CrossFit Games Quarterfinals! Today's workout is a gut check. How bad do you want to push for another rep? None of the movements should be overly difficult or too heavy, so there is no reason to stop moving. The barbell should feel on the lighter side of moderate. You should be able to perform touch-and-go reps, however, under fatigue, you may choose to perform fast singles to keep moving.

Choose a pace on the rower that is fast relative to your capacity but still allows you to get right to work on the dumbbell box step-ups. Your goal on the dumbbell box step-ups is to hold onto the dumbbells until the minute is up. Slow is smooth and smooth is fast.

Remember, there is no rest between movements, so accumulate as many reps as possible of each movement but leave time to transition to the next. Plan to stop with 5-10 seconds left in the minute to transition for all of the movements except the dumbbell box step-ups. During the minute of rest, try to control your breathing by taking deep breaths in through your nose and exhaling through your mouth. If you are not signed up for the Quarterfinals, choose loads that challenge your ability but allow you to keep moving and hit the workout stimulus.
