Workout of the Day

“Grettel”

10 Rounds For Time
3 Clean-and-Jerks @ 135/95#
3 Bar-Facing-Burpees

Notes
This workout came on the scene during the CrossFit Games Semifinals events in 2021. The fastest athletes in the world did it in around 3 minutes. Ouch!

Use all the technique work you’ve done in the past 7 weeks to support you today. Don’t just grip it and rip it. Be deliberate and make each rep as crisp as possible, keeping the bar close. Efficiency on the first 5 rounds will pay you dividends on the back half.

Intent < 9 min. Scale to a moderate load you’re comfortable moving quickly, either cycling the barbell or doing quick singles.

Burpees: Chest and thighs touch the floor at the bottom of the rep, with the athletes body perpendicular to the bar. You may step in/out from the burpee and a two foot take off and landing are not required, but you must have both feet in the air at the same time to get over the bar — jump, don’t step.

Scale by removing the push-up and/or stepping over the bar.
