“District Throwdown” is a classic sprint-style couplet with moderate-to-heavy deadlifts and high-output box jump overs. The workout is short and intense, targeting posterior chain stamina, explosive power, and metabolic conditioning. Athletes should push the pace while maintaining tight form under fatigue.

Time Domain : 4-7min

Time Cap: 10 min

Stimulus: Sprint effort, power output, and fatigue resistance

RPE : 9/10

Focus: Unbroken or fast-broken deadlift sets and aggressive, efficient box movement

Primary Objective: Move fast, but not recklessly—this is a short workout, but grip and legs will blow up quickly if not managed.

Secondary Objective : Minimize transition time and keep sets quick and tight.
