Clean (Every :40 x 12 Sets
1 Squat Clean)

Start at 60% of 1RM Squat Clean and increase 5-20lb (2.5-10kg) each set, with the goal of finishing at 92-100% of 1RM by set 12. This is a direct pull from the 2012 CrossFit Games Squat Clean Ladder format, with a little change in moving to a :40 window rather than the 30 second window, due to the changing of weights. The :40 interval is short, so athletes need to be strategic about load jumps from the very first set. Smaller jumps early preserve more options in the back half; athletes who go too aggressive in the first six sets will run out of room, or gas, before they reach a true daily max.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every :40 x 12 Sets, 1 Hang Power Clean + Front Squat at a consistent, moderate load between 60-75% of 1RM; prioritize position over load climbing

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every :40 x 12 Sets, 2 Dual Dumbbell Squat Cleans at Heavy Load

Front Squat (Weightlifting Variable Reps & Sets)

The math on this one averages out to about a 6x5 Front Squat at near your 5x5 Test numbers and is a volume loading progression that will be getting us ready going into our test week here in two weeks. If you dont know your 5x5 this would be 77-80% of you 1RM

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 2:00 x 6 Sets, Front Squat at a consistent load across all sets at 7/10 RPE; use the 7-5-3 wave but keep load the same

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 2:00 x 6 Sets, Dumbbell Front Squats or Goblet Squats; Work in the range of 5-7 Reps / Set depending on available loads.

Accessories (AMRAP - Reps)

Score = Rounds + Reps Completed

Box: (Rx24/20, S 20/16″)

Kettlebell Farmers Carry: 2 x (Rx70/53, S 53/44)
Goals: Complete all 30 rounds within each minute

Stimulus: Muscular Endurance

RPE: 9/10

Primary Objective: Complete every prescribed round within the minute across all 30 minutes, looking to leave 15 seconds of transition time on each

Secondary Objective: Maintain a steady pace throughout, keeping the workout steady, with breathing and heart rate under control.

Workout Strategy

Thirty minutes, five movements, six full trips through the rotation. The only way to survive this workout with a complete score is to pace the machines in the first two rounds as if you have 28 minutes left, because you do. The row and ski should feel like a strong, controlled effort, not a sprint. If you are finishing the calorie targets with 25 or more seconds left in round one, you went too hard. The goal is 15 seconds of transition time, which means finishing each movement with enough runway to get to the next station and settle before the minute flips. GHD sit-ups are your rhythm movement; find a smooth, consistent pace and breathe through them. Burpee box jumps are the highest output piece in the rotation, so be deliberate and smooth here. The farmers carry is your opportunity to walk with purpose and decompress the breathing before the row comes back around. Load selection matters here: pick a kettlebell weight you can carry 100 feet unbroken every time. If you have to set it down, you have gone too heavy.

Modifications / Adjustments

Calorie Row: Reduce to 12/9 calories / 150m Run substitution / Reduce damper and target strokes per minute

GHD Sit-Ups: Reduce reps / AbMat Sit-Ups / V-Ups / Tuck-Ups / Med-ball Weighted Sit-Ups

Calorie Ski Erg: Reduce to 12/9 calories / 150m Run or 6 Shuttle Runs / Bike substitution or equivalent calories.

Burpee Box Jumps: Reduce reps / Burpees to Target / Box Step-Up and Over / Reduce box height to 20/16in

Kettlebell Farmers Carry: Reduce loads / Single Kettlebell Suitcase Carry

"Partner Bradshaw" (Time)

For Time

20 Rounds with a Partner (Relay Style):

3 Handstand Push-Ups

6 Deadlifts

12 Pull-Ups

24 Double Unders

Time Cap: 40:00

Score = Time

Relay Setup: One partner completes a full round on the floor while the other waits off to the side. After completing all four movements, partner 1 runs back and tags partner 2, who then moves to the floor to complete their round. A physical tag must occur before each new round begins. Partners alternate for all 20 rounds. (10/Each)

Barbell: (Rx 225/155, S 165/125)
Goals: 32:00-36:00

Stimulus: 1:1 Work-to-Rest Partner Relay

RPE: 8.5/10

Primary Objective: Complete each individual round efficiently and unbroken across all four movements, using the partner's work time as a true rest period so that every round is approached with consistent output.

Secondary Objective: Manage the deadlift load intelligently across the workout, with quick touch and go reps and onto the next movement. Remember, the set-up is the key on each set here.

Workout Strategy

This is the Hero workout Bradshaw restructured as a 1:1 relay, and the format changes everything about how you approach it. When your partner is working, you are resting. That means when it is your turn, you go. There is no reason to break handstand push-ups or turn six deadlifts into a slow grind when you have had a full round of rest in between. The goal is to treat every individual round like a short sprint that you can fully recover from before the next one. Three handstand push-ups, six deadlifts, twelve pull-ups, twenty-four double unders; if you have scaled appropriately, all four movements should be completable in one or two quick sets per round. Deadlift setup matters here, do not rush the hip hinge. On the pull-ups, find your rhythm early. Get through the double unders with a calm cadence and run back to tag your partner. The 1:30 or so your partner takes to get through their round is your full recovery window, so use it, breathe, stay loose, and get back to the floor with the same energy you started with.

Modifications / Adjustments

Handstand Push-Ups: Box Pike Handstand Push-Ups / Dumbbell Push Press 35/25lb (15/12kg) / add riser

Deadlifts: Reduce load to 185/125lb (84/57kg) or 135/95lb (61/43kg) / Romanian Deadlift / Trap Bar Deadlift

Pull-Ups: Banded Pull-Ups / Jumping Pull-Ups / Ring Rows / Reduce reps to 8

Double Unders: Single Unders x 36 / Reduce to 18 Double Unders

Then build to working load across 2-3 additional sets.

Front Squat (Every 1:30 x 10 Sets
3 Front Squats)

Working at 100% of the Week 1 5x5 Front Squat test load. This is 30 total reps at that same challenging weight in the same 15:00 time domain as the original test, but with 3 reps per set rather than 5. The reduced rep count allows just enough recovery to maintain quality positions and speed out of the hole across all 10 sets. This is not a grinding day; every set should feel deliberate and fast.

Athletes who did not complete the Week 1 test should start around 75% of their estimated one-rep max and either build from there to around 80% or stay at 75% across, depending on how the body feels.

Modifications:

Level 1: Every 1:30 x 10 Sets, 3 Front Squats at a consistent, challenging load around 70-75% of 1RM; prioritize depth and position over load.

Hotel Gym / Travel: Every 1:30 x 10 Sets, 5 Dual Dumbbell Front Squats

KB: 2 x (Rx53/35, S 44/26)

DB:2 x (Rx50/35, S 40/25)
Goals: 11:00-15:00

Stimulus: Muscular Endurance / Leg Stamina

RPE: 7.5/10

Primary Objective: Consistent pacing across all 6 rounds, maintaining the same work tempo in round six as round one.

Secondary Objective: Unbroken lunges and air squats throughout, with strategic breaks on the push-ups as needed to protect later rounds.

Workout Strategy

"Warrior" is a 6-round grind where the legs are under constant demand from the first step to the last air squat. The dual kettlebell front rack lunge is the most demanding movement in the workout, so treat it with respect from round one; walk with control, keep the chest tall and the bells locked in the rack, and touch the knee gently to the floor on each rep. The push-ups are the only upper body movement, and 90 or 60 total reps is meaningful volume when the legs are already taxed, so break them intentionally rather than going to failure. Air squats should be unbroken every round; the reps are low enough that they serve as active recovery between the lunge and push-up demand if the pace is managed well. Target round splits of roughly 1:45-2:15 per round to finish comfortably under the cap.

Modifications / Adjustments

Dual Kettlebell Front Rack Walking Lunges: Reduce load before reducing distance / Single Kettlebell Front Rack or Goblet Lunge / Bodyweight Walking Lunges

Push-Ups: Reduce reps / Elevated Push-Ups or Banded Assisted Push-Ups

Air Squats: Reduce reps / Box Squat / Assisted Squat to target depth

The goal of this EMOM is quality mechanics and consistent transitions, not survival. Athletes should have enough rest each minute to reset mentally and physically before the next set. Athletes who are muscling through the turnover rather than using their kip will accumulate fatigue quickly and carry that into "Memento." Keep the volume honest or adjust to alternatives

Score = Rounds + Reps

Barbell: (Rx 115/75, S 95/65)
Goals: 4+ Rounds

Stimulus: Upper Body Interference / Density

RPE: 8.5/10

Primary Objective: Maintain efficient barbell cycling across all rounds, establishing a smooth, connected rhythm from the floor through the jerk lockout before the rep count climbs.

Secondary Objective: Stay consistent and unbroken on the double unders and toes to bar, using these as the recovery movements between barbell sets rather than the movements that break down your rhythm.

Workout Strategy

"Memento" is a 7:00 sprint where the barbell gets tougher by volume each round, not by load. The toes to bar will be significant enough that they require some strategic breaks for some, but our top athletes should be moving towards unbroken sets and the double unders should be treated as the transition. Move through them with a consistent rhythm, and save the mental focus for the barbell. On the double unders, keep the shoulders relaxed, use small wrist rotations, and breathe. A missed rep here is cheap to recover from; a missed rep on the barbell costs rhythm and grip. The goal is 4 or more rounds, which means athletes need to be moving continuously from the first minute to the last.

Modifications / Adjustments

Toes to Bar: Reduce reps / Hanging Knee Raises / V-Ups / Alt Toes to Bar

Power Clean and Push Jerk: Reduce load before modifying rep increases / Hang Power Clean and Push Press / Dumbbell Power Clean and Push Jerk

Double Unders: 1.5:1 Single Unders / Penguin Jumps / Reduce reps to 35-40 if rhythm consistently breaks

Plate: 45lb Bumper Plate
Goals: Average 15/11+ Cal per Set, 90/66+ Total Cals of Bike. 21/15+ Cals Row or Ski per set 126/90+ total cal

Stimulus: Supra-Threshold Intervals / Running Capacity

RPE: 8.5/10

Primary Objective: Maintain a consistent, sub 2:00 run pace across all six sets, arriving at the burpees with enough output remaining to move efficiently and reach the cals with at least 30 seconds left.

Secondary Objective: Complete each set of burpees at a similar pace across all six rounds, allowing for a reliable 30 or more seconds on the cals to maximize calorie accumulation per set.

Workout Strategy

Six sets with a descending burpee scheme means this workout gets more manageable as it goes, but only if you protect the early rounds. Set a run pace in round one that you can repeat six times, not a pace you hope to survive. Sub 2:00 for the 400m is the target, which means arriving at the burpees with roughly 90 seconds left on the clock. Move through the burpees with rhythm and consistency, not panic. Standard is both feet off the floor at the top and a clean jump over the plate every rep. The goal is to reach the bike with 30 or more seconds remaining; if you are rolling into the bike with only 10-15 seconds left, the run or burpees cost you too much. On the bike, give everything you have. The 2:00 rest is enough to breathe, reset, and get back to your start. By sets five and six, the burpee count is down to 11 and 10, and that is your opportunity to push the run a touch harder and maximize your bike window. Finish strong.
