Our Advice

The most important thing in this workout is that you are aware of your own level and make it work for you.

If you are an experienced crossfitter who's not afraid of that dumbbell, you need to stay consistent and give it your best to get a good time. Open the gates and send it.

If you're a bit scared of those dumbells, be strategic about this workout and plan for a couple of breaks. They get much longer if you do them out of need, so it's always better to plan them.

Burpees need to be done at a controlled pace the entire time…You're going to lose a lot of time on each rep if you come at it too hot and then you start dying off later. Stay nice and controlled.

Towards the end, that's the time to get to work! It's the time to shut your brain off and think "I just got to drive it home".

The dumbells can be hard on your hands, and your knee joints will feel those burpee repetitions.

We recommend using a glove like our WODies to protect your hands and wrists, and some Knee Sleeves ergonomically designed to hug your knee perfectly. They keep your joints warm and are padded for impact movements such as burpees.

Make sure you stay safe and protected while giving it your all!
