Workout of the Day
“Grettel”
10 Rounds For Time
3 Clean-and-Jerks @ 135/95#
3 Bar-Facing-Burpees
Notes
We last performed this benchmark at CFSBK on 5/5/25.
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.
Use all the technique work you’ve done in the past 7 weeks to support you today. 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 < 8 min. Scale to a moderate load you’re comfortable moving quickly, either cycling the barbell for 3 unbroken 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.
