Score = Sum Time Record (Each Time of Completed Work)

Wall Ball: (Rx 20/14, S 16/12) 10/9ft
Goals: Complete each cal and run block in 6:30-8:00 and complete all EMOM minutes by the 50-second mark

Stimulus: Muscular Endurance / Leg and Midline Stamina

RPE: 8.5/10

Primary Objective: Complete each cal and run block in under 8:00, across both the first and second iteration.

Secondary Objective: Maintain consistent pacing on both EMOM blocks, finishing each minute's work by the 50-second mark and protecting movement quality throughout all 20 total EMOM minutes.

Workout Strategy

"Warthog" is a 40-minute test of pacing discipline more than raw output. The athletes who perform best will be the ones who resist the urge to sprint the first cal block and instead settle into a pace they know they can repeat 20 minutes later. On the cals, aim for 85 to 90 percent effort with a strong drive through the legs, controlled breathing and transition directly into the run without hesitation. The EMOM blocks are recovery in disguise if you've paced correctly: toes to bar should be completed in one or two sets maximum, and wall balls should be unbroken or close to it. Coming into the second bike and run block (20:00 to 30:00), expect some accumulation in the legs from the toes to bar and wall balls; that's normal, and it's where the test begins. Shift focus to effort rather than pace if needed, and don't let the second round collapse. The second EMOM is about how well your muscular endurance holds up, at this point the lungs and midline are taxed, so intentional breathing between reps on toes to bar and a strong, rhythmic dip-drive-throw on wall balls will carry you to the finish.

Barbell: (Rx 115/75, S 95/65)

Box Height: (Rx24/20, S 20/16″)
Goals: 12:00-15:00

Stimulus: All-Out Fitness Sprint / Negative Split

RPE: 10/10

Primary Objective: Make round two faster than round one, this is the race within the workout and the defining measure of how well athletes managed their effort.

Secondary Objective: Finish strong on the barbell in both rounds, cycling the Power Snatch with confidence and leaning into the final reps.

Workout Strategy

"Blackhawk" rewards athletes who have the discipline to hold back just enough in round one and the competitive fire to empty the tank in round two. The row should be strong but not a sprint, men targeting somewhere in the 1250-1450 cal/hr range and women pulling closer to 900-1100 cal/hr will get the work done efficiently without burning the engine from the get go. The Burpee Box Jump Overs should be consistent and rhythmic throughout round one. Find a cadence and hold it rather than surging and slowing. When athletes reach the Power Snatch in round one, this is the first opportunity to start pressing the pace. Sets of 5-5-4-4 or even 6-6-6 if the load allows is the target. When round two starts, that is the shift, athletes should feel the urgency increase on the rower, hold that intensity through the burpee box jump overs even as they accumulate fatigue, and make the final 18 Power Snatches sting. Touch and go cycling on the barbell is the goal for as long as possible. When singles become necessary, keep the rest windows to 3-5 seconds and keep the bar moving. The athletes who have the most grit in round two are the ones who will finish in the 12:00-15:00 window.

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

DB: 2 x (Rx50/35, S 40/25)
Goals: 10:30-16:00

Stimulus: High Skill Triplet / Grip Fatigue Management

RPE: 8/10

Primary Objective: Complete the buy-in (80 Double Unders + 24 Dual KB/DB Farmers Lunges) by 2:15 on the clock each interval, leaving at least 45 seconds for Bar Muscle-Ups.

Secondary Objective: Manage grip fatigue across all four intervals. Prioritize quick lunge sets in the first two rounds and use the 1:00 rest intentionally to open the hands and recover.

Workout Strategy

"Spirit" rewards athletes who front-load the effort and manage the grip tax intelligently. The double unders should be fast and unbroken, this is not a movement where athletes should be tripping and resetting, so if the jump rope is inconsistent, take one planned break rather than multiple failed attempts. The Dual KB/DB Farmers Lunges are the defining movement of each interval. Athletes who can push these fast and only one or two quick breaks in rounds one and two will arrive at the bar with more time and more gas. By rounds three and four, breaking the lunges into a few more quick sets may be the play, but avoid setting the bells down for longer than 3-5 seconds. When athletes reach the Bar Muscle-Ups / Pull-Ups, the goal is to work in chunks with sets of three to five in the early intervals, dropping to singles or doubles late if needed. The 30-rep completion goal means athletes need to be accumulating reps every interval, not just surviving the buy-in. Use the full 1:00 rest to shake the hands out, breathe, and approach the next interval with a clear plan rather than just jumping back on the rope.

Modifications / Adjustments

Double Unders: Single Unders (1.5:1 ratio) / Reduce rep count for athletes still developing consistency

Dual KB/DB Farmers Lunges: Reduce load as first adjustment / Single Kettlebell Farmers Lunge alternating / Bodyweight Reverse Lunges

Bar Muscle-Ups: Banded Bar Muscle-Up / Box Bar Muscle-Up / Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups / Kipping Pull-Ups / Ring Rows or Jumping Pull-Ups

Then Load Weight on the Barbell

Back Squat (EMOM x 10
1 Back Squat @ 80%+

Tempo: 20x1 (2-second descent / no pause / fast concentric))

Athletes build from 80% and increase load across the window when positions are clean and the drive out of the hole is confident. The two-second eccentric is mandatory on every rep -- this is where the adaptation lives. The concentric should be aggressive and deliberate, not a slow grind. Athletes should be approaching their ceiling single in the final two to three minutes of the window.

Modifications:

Level 1: EMOM x 10: 3 Back Squats at 6-7 RPE across all ten sets with the same 20x1 tempo standard

-Low Back Pain: EMOM x 10: 1-2 Split Squats or Reverse Lunges per side, controlled and deliberate

- Knee Pain: EMOM x 10: 1 Box Squat or 1 Barbell Hip Thrust, building in load

Low Back + Knee Pain: EMOM x 10: 1-2

Barbell Hip Thrusts, controlled tempo and strong lockout at the top

Workout Prep / Primer

2 Sets at working pace:

10 Deadlifts @ light / warm-up load

3 Eccentric Handstand Push-Ups / Box Pike Handstand Push-Ups

5 Deadlifts @ moderate / warm-up load

3 Strict Handstand Push-Ups / Box Piked Handstand Push-Ups

3 Deadlifts @ working load

Use this to confirm Deadlift loading and handstand push-up access and set size before "Hornet" begins.

"Hornet" (AMRAP - Rounds and Reps)

7:00 AMRAP

For Reps:

3-5-7-9-11 ... Strict Handstand Push-Ups

5-8-11-14-17 ... Deadlifts

Score = Total Reps

Barbell: (Rx 225/155, S 165/125)
Goals: 85-110 Reps

Stimulus: High Intensity Couplet / Upper Body Push + Lower Body Pull

RPE: 8.5/10

Primary Objective: Complete the Deadlifts unbroken through the third round of 11 reps -- midline stays braced and the hinge pattern stays consistent across every set.

Secondary Objective: Keep Handstand Push-Up form tight and consistent throughout -- hollow body position, strong press, and deliberate sets that protect against hitting failure on the wall.

Workout Strategy

"Hornet" is a high-intensity couplet that builds rep debt fast, and the athletes who respect the early rounds will be the ones still moving in the final two minutes. The Strict Handstand Push-Ups are the limiter. Start with controlled sets that you can repeat -- if three unbroken is the most you can hold while maintaining hollow body and strong lockout, then sets of three with short rest is the right call from the very beginning. Do not go unbroken in round one and pay for it on round three. The Deadlifts at 225/155lb, 102/70kg are the engine. They should be completed unbroken through 11 reps with a braced midline and controlled tension through the hamstrings on every rep -- do not let the lower back take over to finish the pull. Once athletes reach the 14- and 17-rep sets, smart athletes will take a quick breath mid-set rather than dropping the bar entirely. The ladder climbs every round and the reps compound quickly. Every rep counts toward the score, so the goal is to keep both movements moving with short, deliberate rest rather than long breaks.
