as many reps as possible in 20:00 of
20 snatches
20 pogo burpees
20 pushups
In this workout the goal is to use a db/kb for the snatches- you don’t have to alternate, but maybe hit sets of 5-10/side each time. Drop immediately into the pogo burpees over your snatch object and don’t stop. Take breaks early and often in the pushups so you don’t fail any, and so that you don’t lose too much stamina on the subsequent sets of burpees and pushups. Post scores to comments.
AMRAP in 20:00
14 hang (MB) cleans
14 plank drags
14 toe taps
14 (MB) Russian twists
Ideally you’re using the same object (medicine ball, kettlebell, dumbbell, back pack, etc) the entire time for all of the exercises. Try to stay consistent on the time it takes you per round. Post score to comments!
Then again at 9am for a weighted LAST-ZOOMER-STANDING workout at 9am, where we’ll continue the workouts until there’s no one left!
(Trying to jack that hunger up if that’s your thing.)
Otherwise we’ll have a Stretch video premiere today, a CompEx workout Friday morning on Zoom, a HIIT workout premiering on Saturday, and finally a yoga zoom workout on Sunday morning.
When MMA athlete BJ Penn needed to up his conditioning for his fights he turned to CrossFit. Even though the coaching staff had never participated in the sport, they need what the demands of the sport were and created a format accordingly. They asked themselves rather than some footwork and feints what would it be like to actually work for the entirety of the 5:00-round?
After combining 5 different exercise stations and demanding maximum repetition throughout the CrossFit staff put BJ through the workout. At the end of it all they asked him how it felt. He said it was “like a fight gone bad“, and that’s where this staple workout protocol came from.

AMRAP in 15:00
12 one-arm deadlift
9 one-arm hang power clean
6 one-arm shoulder-to-overhead
Alternate sides each round. This is basically a one-armed DT for 15:00, rather than with a heavy barbell. Since we can’t control what the loading is, the As Many Reps As Possible format works best to challenge everyone accordingly. Focus on the proper technique for each, staying as square as possible to not fire off the back during the deadlifts and cleans, and to ensure good shoulder mechanics in the s2o. If you can get through a set unbroken, do so, and take your breaks during the switching of sides.
We are getting conflicting messages regarding productivity in this time of chaos. Some are telling us to learn new skills, master sourdough making, and take online courses. Others are encouraging us to take it easy, watch a movie, do less. For athletes, who were mentally prepared to be working hard and staying focused before competitive seasons and training plans were derailed, the path forward is uncertain. Dr. Justin Tausig, a former pro fencer turned sports and performance psychologist, is encouraging athletes to stay productive during this crisis. Focus on what you can do, rather than what you can’t, and do at least one productive thing a day.
