STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE into GRIND! Today’s workout has us climbing the ladder through quick deadlifts and shuttle runs. Once the bottom is reached, it’s time to grind through a larger set of wall walks. The key to success is being aggressive and strategic through the middle to minimize rest and avoid burning out. When you hit the last rep of wall walks, it’s time to see if you can repeat your performance ascending back up the ladder.

How it should Feel: GASSY and MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! How bad are you willing to hurt? Nothing will put you at risk of failure, so put your head down and go to work.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Deadlift: Weight is moderate (under 60% of 1RM) where all reps could be completed unbroken. However, it might be wise to pace early on and break into two quick sets if you don’t love heavier deadlifts. If you can go unbroken on the ascending reps, then go for it.

Shuttle Run: Down and back is 1 rep (50ft total). Pacing should be moderately fast (75-80%+) while aiming to slow down the final 2-3 reps before returning to the bar. The final shuttle run (15) will be a gut check; go hard.

Wall Walk: Try and not over rest here, maybe touch and go a few reps before getting a 3-5 second break at the bottom. Goal pace should be 4-6+ reps every minute.
—-can scale by only going as close to the wall as you feel comfortable OR completing these as Elevated Box Walks OR Inchworm with Double Push Up

MAYHEM MOM MODIFICATIONS
(For pregnant and postpartum women)

TARGET SCORE
Target Time each set: 3-4 minutes
Target Time each set: 5 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! We have three different workouts in which you will cycle through three different movements. The goal should be similar pacing and times across workouts, regardless of the order.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and CARDIO! Use the clock to pace rounds.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Rope Climb: Don’t veer too far away from the rope between reps. Try to complete one climb every 15-20 seconds or even a touch faster. Big jump every time, and remember to put your arms between your legs as you pull up.

Overhead Squat: The weight is very light (under 40% of 1RM), and all sets should be completed unbroken. We’d love for you to squat snatch the first rep and get right into it. Focus on relaxing your hands and breathing through the motion.

AB/ ROW: It is not a sprint, but try to maintain a moderate push pace (75%+) that doesn’t blow your legs and lungs up. Get it up to speed within 5 seconds and slow down the final 2-3 calories.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

TARGET SCORE
Target Time each set: sub 7 minutes
Time Cap each set: 9 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! All the pushing mixed in with some erg pulling. Let’s aim for quick and consistent sets on the presses while using the row to reset the arms. Pacing should stay the same across rounds and sets.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE and CARDIO! The reps go down on the press, but the level of difficulty increases. Know your limits and understand when to break to avoid failure.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Push Press/Shoulder Press: Weight is light where all reps and sets should be completed unbroken. Shoulder Press might be the area of concern to break into 2 sets. Make that call early on if your shoulders begin to burn out.

Wall Facing HSPU: This will be the most challenging area forsure. If shoulders endurance favors you and unbroken is possible then go for it. Otherwise, break early and often to avoid getting stuck.

——can scale these to Strict Box Handstand Push Up

Row: Depending on your strength in the upper body, this can used as a moderate-recovery type effort (70-75%) or ramp up a little for more endurance athletes (80%). Regardless, focus on using a strong leg and hip drive to take tension off the shoulders. Goal should be sub 75 seconds.

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.

TARGET SCORE
Target Time each minute: sub 40 seconds
Time Cap each minute: 50 seconds

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Days like today are great for building volume and developing consistency through moderate repetition with built in rest. Each station should be approached with a moderate push pace effort that allows for at least 1:1 work/rest.

How it should Feel: GASSY! Push hard through the movements and enjoy a solid rest. Be ready to work when the clock hits.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Sandbag Cleans to Shoulder: Lighter weight than normal so let’s kick it into high gear and attack. Aim for an aggressive, non-stop that completes 1 rep every 3 seconds.

Wall Walks: Try and touch and go these reps. If you need to pause at the bottom just keep it short.

GHD Sit Ups: These should be the longest station. Move smooth and steady with aggressive hip and arm drive. Goal is sub 45 seconds.

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY! The stimulus today is moderate to maybe moderate/fast intensity after yesterday. You will be performing 2 sets of each 7:00 AMRAP. The goal is to aim for similar scores across rounds with a constant work effort. Use today to just move if needed after the intensity and grind of Murph. If you feel great then you can add intensity through each set.

How it should Feel: CARDIO! The goal for all machines is to get through the round of 20 calories. A realistic intensity is a consistent 75-80%+ effort across all AMRAPs! Some good machine pace targets are to hold 1200+/1050+ calories per hour across all sets and calories.

• 200 Push-ups
• 300 Squats
• 1 mile Run

**** Athletes must head out for last run or row 10min before end of the workout, regardless of how many reps and round they may have completed

Hero: Murph
Memorial day is here! If you’ve been doing CrossFit for a while, you’ve seen that a common Hero Workout done on memorial day is “Murph”. This workout is in honor of Navy Lieutenant Michael Murphy. Murphy was a SEAL team member who lost his life serving his country in Afghanistan in 2005 during Operation Red Wings (2).

On the morning of June 28th, Lt. Michael Murphy and Petty Officers Danny Dietz, Matthew Axelson, and Marcus Luttrell were dropped into the mountains of Afghanistan, only to be ambushed by more than fifty militiamen after a local accidentally wandered onto their position and gave it up.

The four soldiers were heavily outnumbered, but put up a strong fight. During the ambush, Lt. Murphy risked his own life by coming out from cover, finding a signal, and calling for help.

TARGET SCORE
Target Time: 50 minutes
Time Cap: 1 hour 30 minutes
STIMULUS and GOALS
Murph time! Honor our veterans and be thankful for our Freedom! This is always a great test of our muscular endurance and cardio that we can test our mental toughness during.

How to Pace: GRIND into, PAIN CAVE! You’ve got to stay mentally tough and stay moving.

How it should feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE into PAIN!!! Murph is total body fatigue eventually and then it just hurts!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
You may choose if you partition reps, do strict pull ups, and/or wear a vest. Rich usually does strict pull ups and always wears a vest. It can be fun to change up which exact version you do from year to year. We like using a smaller whiteboard or some system to help you tick off reps as you move along.

Run: Use a consistent pace you can do for the first and last mile! Don’t come out too hot.

Strict Pull Up or Kipping / Butterfly Pull Up: Stick to manageable sets of (likely 5-10) out of the gate. Keep the kip forceful and fast to save the arms, and minimize time under tension.

Push Ups: Start with smaller sets than you think you should! There’s nothing wrong with coming out with sets of 3-5 fast sets on a disciplined time interval to stay consistent. Don’t fry out!

Air Squats: Just stay moving as much as you can and grind through it! Keep weight mid foot and use those glutes/hips! Mentally thinking of it in sets of 10-15 can help.

Minimum Reps before Scaling: 72 (4 Rounds)

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: STEADY into GRIND! This upper body push/pull combo will have you climbing up and down the ladder for what feels like eternity. Pacing should be moderately-light while emphasizing rest during transitions to avoid muscle failure.

How it should Feel: MUSCULAR ENDURANCE! If you push the pace too early, you could find yourself staring at the rope or, worse, stuck underneath a barbell. Be smart, or it won’t end well.

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Bench Press: Weight should be moderately heavy (under 80% of 1RM), where the majority of the sets could be completely unbroken. The 6s might be an area of concern down the line, so aim to break on those sooner rather than later.

Rope Climb: It’s not legless, so use your legs as much as possible to help save the upper body. Try to complete 1 climb every 12-20 seconds. Be smooth, work efficient foot placement, and have a confident slide down the rope each rep!

TARGET SCORE
Target Time: sub 8 minutes
Time Cap: 10 minutes

STIMULUS and GOALS
How to Pace: CHALLENGE! Today is all about the lower body and keeping a near non-stop effort across. Using the time between the stations as rest is key but should not be overdone. During this ascending rep scheme, our pacing should start off moderately conservative to have enough left in the tank for those larger sets down the line where we want you to push more aggressively to hang on and move!

How it should Feel: GASSY and/or LACTIC ACID PARTY! Lower body will be screaming to stop! Don’t give in! Keep pushing through the pain. Your grip may be fatigued as well from the lightweight and frequent pulling!

WORKOUT STRATEGY & FLOW
Hang Squat Clean: Weight is light (under 40% of 1RM Squat Clean), where you should aim for sets of 8 or more. Flow with the barbell and use the momentum to cycle reps smoothly and efficiently. Focus on breathing at the top of each rep. Find a foot placement where you are not constantly jumping in and out of each rep.

Burpee Box Jump Over: Just move and try not to blow up your lungs/legs anymore. If needed, take a quick break at the bottom of each burpee and jump explosively up to the box. The height is higher than average, and it will be much more difficult as the lactic acid builds. Try to keep these under 45 seconds per 8 reps

Mobility and Maintenance: Choose 1-2 Thoracic Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them. Choose 1-2 Upper Extremity Mobility Drills from Kelly Starrett’s Mobility WOD and spend 5-10 minutes with them.
