In today’s workout, be sure to pay attention to the scheme of each triplet. Rounds are increasing and reps are decreasing throughout each section. The loading of the barbell should allow you to do at least 10 reps unbroken every time you pick it up. For the ring dips and rope climbs, manage your reps, and don’t push to failure. Consider breaking the ring dips into sets of 5 to minimize fatigue and keep pushing forward through the workout.

Scaling:
This is intended to be 5 to 8 minutes of work. Quality of movement will be rewarded compared with the grunt work from yesterday. This workout should be done after strong technique practice to focus on hip extension and the receiving position in the jerk, and bar path and the front rack in the front squat.

Some athletes should expect to be able to complete each set unbroken, but there is still value in staying heavy if you need to break the sets of 6 and 8 in half and the set of 10 into as many as 3 sets if necessary to preserve sound technique.

Complete 1 complex every 3 minutes for a total of 7 sets for max load:

1 power clean
1 hang squat clean
1 shoulder-to-overhead

-Add load as technique allows.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a lifting complex. Once you perform the power clean, the barbell should not return to the ground until you complete the shoulder-to-overhead or if you fail a rep. The goal is to build up to your heaviest weight in the complex. After completing the complex, you should have around 2:30 of rest. Take this rest time to recover and prepare for the next lift. During this time, you can also add weight, subtract weight, or keep it the same.

All athletes should not let their intensity overshadow the importance of lifting with proper technique. If your technique is good, then add load. If you feel yourself getting sloppy, reduce the loading or try to improve your technique at the same load.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d.

Beginner option:

Coaching cues:
Do you catch yourself jumping forward during your cleans? It could be due to an early arm pull. Think about shrugging the bar up to your shoulders and only bending your elbow at the very last moment to pull your body under the bar.

Complete as many reps as possible in 2 minutes of:

5 squat clean and jerks
Max-rep feet-elevated ring rows

Rest 1 minute between sets. Repeat for a total of 5 sets.
Use 70% of your best squat clean and jerk.

Post load and reps to comments.

Scaling:
Five squat clean and jerks at 70% should feel heavy but manageable. Heavy lifters may need to reduce this to 65-67%. Focus on good-quality positions when you pull off the floor and when you descend into your dip. Today, the first pull and the dip are important for consistent reps. Some of you may be able to do these 5 reps in 30-40 seconds, but for the sake of today, focus on making all 5 reps identical. If that takes a full minute, that’s OK. This is crucial because we are fatiguing the upper back and core with the feet-elevated ring rows. This is why our goal today is technical endurance. We can’t use a weight that deteriorates under fatigue, so if you tend to perform less technically sound when tired, reduce the load on the barbell and control the work/rest on the ring rows.

When we look at our favorite CrossFit athletes who seem to lift perfectly even when tired, it’s because they perform sessions like these, where the goal is qualitative and not quantitative.

Coaching cues:
Technical endurance is an athlete’s ability to maintain a high degree of proficiency in a given movement(s) throughout a workout. This could mean moving along straighter lines, minimizing errant movement, and/or capitalizing on the concept of core-to-extremity movement patterns. Maintaining the ideal technique for a single rep is one thing, but doing so for an entire workout requires time and practice. Anyone can move fast, but to move quickly with a high degree of proficiency is an art form.

5 rounds for time of:

24 air squats
16 bar-facing burpees
8 shoulder-to-overheads
4 thrusters

Rest 1 minute between rounds.

♀ 105 lb
♂ 155 lb

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
In this Interval-style workout, what jumps off the page is the shoulder-to-overhead into thrusters, but don’t ignore the effect on the legs going from the air squats to the burpees. The legs will feel pretty full and this will make the shoulder-to-overheads and thrusters spicy! Because of this, you may get “toesy.” Avoid loading the quads so it doesn’t result in a muted hip, a poor dip and drive in the shoulder-to-overhead, and thrusters that feel more difficult than they should. Perform quality movement despite the leg and arm fatigue — that’s how you gain technical endurance and become efficient under fatigue.

Use the weight you would for DT — something moderate, a 6.5 out of 10. You should be able to perform the shoulder-to-overheads unbroken but not without some challenge. Focus on the quality of your dip and drive, whether you’re choosing to do push presses or push jerks.

You should feel pressure in your entire foot/feet and good tension in the front rack.

GOAL: Stamina

ADVANCED ATHLETE TARGET: 2 minutes per round, unbroken shoulder-to-overheads

♀ 35 lb
♂ 45 lb

Coaching cues:
Though you might be tempted to shorten the air squat range of motion during today’s sprint-style interval workout, consider this: The bottom position of the squat is nature’s intended sitting posture and the rise to full hip extension is the foundation of all sound human movement. Powerful, controlled hip extension is necessary for elite athleticism.

Short-changing your squats in this case, though giving you more time to rep out thrusters, will only impede your potential in the long run — both inside and outside the gym.

Scaling:
Today’s workout should look oddly familiar. This is a dumbbell variation of the Hero workout DT. The loading of the dumbbells should be on the lighter side of moderate and allow you to perform all 27 reps in 3 sets or less. More advanced athletes should try to maintain unbroken reps for as many rounds as possible, while less-experienced athletes should consider strategic breaks to keep moving through the rounds. For example, perform 11 deadlifts, then break. After a quick breath, perform your 12th deadlift and move right into 8 hang power cleans before breaking. After a quick breath, perform your last hang power clean and finish the round by completing 6 shoulder-to-overheads. The goal for everyone is to perform at least 5 total rounds, but can anyone get 10?

Training with dumbbells is a potent way to address muscle imbalances, requiring stabilization on each side and improving overall coordination.

Dumbbells are also a great tool to reduce the complexity of lifts like the snatch and clean for newer athletes and those with front-rack limitations.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a 20-minute EMOM which stands for “every minute on the minute.” There are 4 minutes to rotate through, so you will do 5 rounds of each movement. Minute 1 begins with 6 clean and jerks, which should be an opportunity to choose a loading that allows for touch-and-go reps. For Minute 2, allow no more than 45 seconds to complete the 12 strict handstand push-ups. Consider modifying to kipping handstand push-ups if you’re only able to complete a couple of reps strict. Modify the double-unders to singles if needed. For the row, athletes will need to push to get that amount of calories completed within the minute. This one rewards those who start each minute on time and finish the work quickly, so move fast!

Scaling:
Today’s chipper-style workout challenges you to get through the first three exercises before you can earn a score. If you want more time with the box step-ups, you need to move quickly. Athletes should reduce the distance of the ruck, the difficulty of the toes-to-bars, and the load of the push jerks to give themselves at least 90 seconds to perform max reps of the box step-ups with the ruck. Some athletes could have several minutes, but that means they need to be moving! Athletes should start with the ruck, take it off for the toes-to-bars and push jerks, and then put the ruck back on for the box step-ups.

Today’s effort is meant to challenge your barbell cycling with a heavier load. Increase the load across as many sets as possible, building to your heaviest sets of 5, 3, and 1. The sets of 5 and 3 are meant to be unbroken (touch and go). You will be limited in load based on your technical competence with the clean and jerk. Start light, dial in technique, and increase load as you develop quality movement patterns. Use the remaining time in each minute to rest and/or add load to the barbell.

In today’s workout, we have hinging, pushing, pulling, and a moderately weighted barbell.

The load, rep range, and time domain for this AMRAP should encourage people to complete quick singles on the power cleans (bonus: singles save your grip for the rope climbs). If you can, hold on to the last power clean and go right into the shoulder-to-overheads before moving on to the rope. Use a load that allows you to perform push jerks and cycle reps.

The best athletes can aim to consistently hit sub-1 minute rounds, with a goal of 10+ total rounds. For the majority, set a goal of 6 rounds, and ensure load and scaling options allow you to achieve this volume.

Enjoy!

Today’s workout pairs grunt work with barbell stamina. The barbell movement in this workout increases in technical difficulty to add a unique challenge. As you become more tired, can you maintain your technique to power through the workout? The loading of the barbell should feel moderate and allow you to complete the shoulder presses in 4 sets or less. The incorporation of the hips in both the push press and push jerk should make the loading feel easier. Choose a load that allows you to perform the movements as written and practice the more technically demanding exercises. Work hard and have fun.

Welcome to the fourth and final workout of the 2024 CrossFit Games Quarterfinals! Today's workout is a clean-and-jerk ladder with ascending weights. This is a barbell stamina and conditioning test. The barbell load starts on the lighter side of moderate and builds its way up to relatively heavy. The first barbell should be a weight with which you can perform some touch-and-go reps, while the next three will require a bit more strategy. Consider performing fast singles with minimal rest between reps. If you are not signed up for the Quarterfinals, choose loads that challenge your ability but allow you to complete the reps at the first and second barbell. The third barbell should be tough to get through, and any reps with the fourth barbell should be considered a bonus.

Scaling:
If you cannot complete an L-sit pull-up, choose a variation of pull-up that allows you to complete approximately 10 reps during your first set. If you can complete 1-5 L-sit pull-ups, consider performing a set after each set of overhead lifts instead of after the final set of each movement.

Experienced athletes should attempt to increase the load every set. Focus on excellent technique and aim for a PR on the 4th or 5th set. Athletes with less experience should consider adding reps, or simply practicing the movement for a set amount of time to develop technique. Watch The Snatch and The Clean and Jerk for a full movement breakdown.
