Burpee Buildup - Crossfit Workout

The pull-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that builds upper body strength, focusing on your back, shoulders, arms, and core. A staple in almost every pull-up workout, it's key for developing gymnastics capacity and functional pulling power.

In this workout, pull-ups challenge your grip, coordination, and endurance — especially under fatigue. Whether strict, kipping, or butterfly, the pull-up remains one of the most effective and scalable exercises in CrossFit.

The burpee over bar adds an explosive jump over your barbell after each burpee, increasing intensity and coordination. It’s a common feature in burpee over bar workouts, combining cardio, agility, and full-body conditioning in one simple movement.

In this workout, burpees over the bar challenge your endurance, mental toughness, and pacing — especially under fatigue. Whether you’re jumping laterally or forward-facing, the burpee over bar is guaranteed to elevate your heart rate and test your focus.

The front squat is a fundamental strength movement that targets the quads, glutes, core, and upper back. Known for its upright posture and barbell position on the shoulders, it’s a key lift in Olympic lifting and a staple in any front squat workout.

In this workout, front squats build leg strength, mobility, and posture, while reinforcing a strong core under load. Whether used for volume, tempo, or heavy singles, the front squat is essential for developing power and movement efficiency.

The goblet lunge is a functional strength movement that targets the quads, glutes, and core while improving balance and coordination. Performed with a dumbbell or kettlebell held at chest level, it’s a key movement in many goblet lunge workouts.

In this workout, goblet lunges help develop unilateral leg strength, posture, and core engagement. Whether done in place or walking, the goblet lunge is ideal for building lower-body strength with added stability and control.

The kettlebell clean and jerk is a powerful two-phase movement that develops full-body strength, coordination, and endurance. Common in functional fitness and kettlebell clean and jerk workouts, it combines a clean (to rack position) with an overhead jerk — all with one fluid kettlebell motion.

In this workout, the kettlebell clean and jerk trains hip drive, shoulder stability, and core control, making it perfect for building functional strength and improving work capacity. Whether performed single-arm or double, it’s a versatile and effective compound movement.

The chest-to-bar pull-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that takes traditional pull-ups further by requiring the chest to make contact with the bar. Common in competitive CrossFit and advanced chest to bar workouts, it builds upper body strength, pulling power, and grip endurance.

In this workout, chest-to-bar pull-ups challenge your lats, arms, core, and coordination—especially under high reps or in combination with other movements. Whether performed strict, kipping, or butterfly, chest-to-bar is a true test of bodyweight control and stamina.

The jerk is a powerful Olympic lifting movement that drives a barbell from shoulder to overhead with explosive force. Central to advanced jerk workouts, it typically follows a clean and is executed by dipping and driving the bar overhead—either with a split stance or power stance.

In this workout, the jerk builds overhead strength, power, and coordination while demanding precision and speed. It trains the legs, core, and shoulders simultaneously, making it an essential movement for athletes looking to improve explosive strength and total-body stability under load.

The hang squat clean is a compound Olympic lift variation that begins from the hang position—above the knees—and finishes in a full front squat. Key in many hang squat clean workouts, this movement emphasizes bar control, speed under the bar, and clean mechanics without pulling from the floor.

In this workout, hang squat cleans train explosive hip extension, front rack mobility, and leg strength. They’re especially useful for developing power, timing, and clean technique, while reducing lower back strain compared to full cleans from the floor.
