"Virtues in Motion" is a partner-based stamina and strength workout that combines gymnastics control, kettlebell stamina, and rowing for max calories. Partners alternate full rounds, creating a cycle of intense work followed by short recovery. Success depends on fast, consistent rounds and aggressive calorie accumulation once the 12 rounds are complete.

Goal: Complete 50/40+ calories on the rower after finishing the 12 rounds

Primary Objective: Complete each round between 1:10–1:30

Secondary Objective: Maintain 18/14+ calories per minute during the row

Stimulus: Strict gymnastics endurance, grip and shoulder stamina, aerobic power

RPE: 8/10

Key focus areas:

Stay tight and efficient on strict HSPUs and pull-ups to avoid burnout

Move quickly through the kettlebell swings without redlining

Transition onto the rower immediately after finishing the 12 rounds

"Existential Burden" is a midline-focused EMOM combining jump rope coordination, aerobic bodyweight conditioning, core endurance, and isometric strength. The design challenges athletes to stay consistent under fatigue while balancing dynamic movement with static holds. The key is smooth execution, controlled breathing, and smart pacing, especially in the max plank hold.

Goal: Consistent completion of work across all four active minutes

Stimulus: Midline endurance, aerobic capacity, stamina under sustained tension

RPE: 7.5–8.5/10

Focus: Stay relaxed and composed through high-skill double unders and transitions, manage core fatigue carefully

Key focus areas:

Control breathing through all movements to prevent early burnout

Move efficiently in dynamic pieces (double unders, up downs) to allow a strong plank effort

Stay mentally disciplined during the forearm plank hold

Amanda (Time)

9-7-5 reps for time of:

Muscle-ups

Squat snatches

135lb/95lb
(Rx135/95, S 115/75)

"Amanda" is a classic high-skill CrossFit benchmark that tests gymnastics proficiency, Olympic lifting technique, and composure under fatigue. The short rep scheme encourages athletes to move with urgency, but the technical demands of both movements require controlled execution. This is a workout where precision wins over reckless speed.

Goal: 4–8 minutes

Time Cap 12 minutes

Stimulus : High-skill gymnastics and barbell cycling under fatigue

RPE: 9/10

Focus : Maximize efficiency on muscle-ups, prioritize clean and confident lifts under fatigue

Key focus areas:

Stay composed on the rings—misses are costly

Maintain snatch technique under pressure

Control breathing and transitions to avoid redline mistakes
