During double-unders, stay light on your feet to avoid fatigue. As you approach the wall walks and bar muscle-ups, ensure you have a solid base of support and transition smoothly between movements. In the final stretch, leverage the adrenaline to push through the last burpees and thrusters, as every second counts toward your finishing time in this hero WOD.

How do you perform the Tripp workout

Learn how to crush this hero workout

To perform the hero workout Tripp, complete two rounds of the following exercises for time. Start with 37 Burpees, ensuring you fully extend your body at the top of each rep.

Next, move to 10 Shoulder-to-Overheads, using a barbell or dumbbells. Engage your legs for power as you press the weight overhead.

Follow this with 24 Medicine Ball Sit-Ups, focusing on using your core to lift your torso while keeping your feet anchored.

Then, tackle 80 Double-Unders, maintaining a steady rhythm and ensuring the rope passes under your feet twice with each jump.

Repeat the 37 Burpees before moving on to 3 Wall Walks, aiming for full extension of the body against the wall.

Complete 15 Bar Muscle-Ups, utilizing a false grip to transition smoothly from the pull-up to the dip position.

Finally, finish with 19 Thrusters, combining a front squat and push press in one fluid movement to maximize efficiency.

How do you scale the workout

The hero wod "Tripp" can be done by everyone

Reduce the number of rounds to one for those new to high-intensity workouts. Scale burpees to a plank step-back or a knee push-up variation to maintain form.

For shoulder-to-overheads, opt for a weight that allows for smooth, controlled lifts, typically around 20–30 lb. Alternatively, use dumbbells or a lighter barbell.

Substitute double-unders with single-unders or jumping jacks to decrease intensity. Replace wall walks with wall climbs or shoulder taps for a less demanding option.

For bar muscle-ups, consider using a band for assistance or swap in pull-ups. Finally, reduce thrusters to a lighter weight, around 25–35 lb, or perform air squats to adjust difficulty.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the hero wod "Tripp"

Your score for the Hero Workout, known as Tripp, is calculated based on the total number of completed rounds and any additional repetitions. You will complete two rounds of the prescribed movements, which include various high-intensity exercises.

To score your workout, add the total number of complete rounds to the extra reps from the final round. For example, if you finish both rounds and complete 5 additional Bar Muscle-Ups, your score will be 2 rounds + 5 = 2 + 5 = 7 total rounds.

Be sure to note the specific repetitions for each exercise as you track your progress, as they contribute to your overall score and performance evaluation.

Start with a steady pace on the burpees, focusing on form rather than speed. Maintain a rhythm to avoid burnout early in the workout. For shoulder-to-overheads, use a weight that allows for smooth, controlled lifts and prioritize your core engagement.

During the medicine ball sit-ups, ensure full range of motion to maximize effectiveness, and breathe out at the top. When tackling double-unders, practice singles if you struggle, as they can help keep your heart rate manageable.

On wall walks, control your ascent and descent to conserve energy. For bar muscle-ups, focus on the transition for efficiency. Finally, with thrusters, use your legs to drive the weight up while keeping your core tight for stability.

Why are we doing the "Tripp" workout?

What kind of exercises are in the Tripp hero workout?

  • Burpee

    The burpee is a simple, full-body movement that combines a squat, plank, and jump into one explosive exercise. It’s a staple in nearly every burpee workout thanks to its ability to build cardio endurance, coordination, and mental toughness — fast.

    In this workout, burpees spike your heart rate, challenge your engine, and require no equipment. Whether you're doing them over a bar, onto a target, or just flat out, burpees are a true test of grit and conditioning.

  • Double under

    The double under is a jump rope skill where the rope passes under your feet twice per jump, building coordination, speed, and cardiovascular endurance. It’s a popular movement in high-intensity double under workouts, often used to spike heart rate and improve timing under fatigue.

    In this workout, double unders challenge your footwork, rhythm, and breathing, making them a key tool for improving overall conditioning. Whether you're linking sets or working on consistency, double unders are a fast-paced way to level up your engine.

  • wall walk

    The wall walk is a challenging bodyweight movement that builds shoulder strength, core stability, and coordination. Popular in gymnastics-style training and wall walk workouts, it requires control and confidence moving upside down.

    In this workout, wall walks train overhead pressing strength and midline engagement while developing skills for handstand-based movements. Whether scaled or RX, the wall walk is a highly effective way to build upper body endurance and body awareness.

  • thrusters

    The thruster is a full-body compound movement that combines a front squat with an overhead press, making it one of the most demanding and effective exercises in any thruster workout.

    In this workout, thrusters develop leg drive, shoulder endurance, and core stability, all while elevating your heart rate. Whether using a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebells, the thruster is a powerful tool for building strength, power, and conditioning — fast.

  • shoulder to overhead

    The shoulder to overhead movement trains your ability to drive a load from the shoulders to a locked-out position overhead using one of several techniques — strict press, push press, push jerk, or split jerk. It's a staple in any shoulder to overhead workout for building upper body strength, power, and stability.

    In this workout, shoulder to overhead challenges your shoulders, triceps, and core, especially under fatigue. It’s a versatile movement that allows athletes to choose the most efficient technique to move weight overhead — depending on the load and intensity.

  • bar muscle up

    The bar muscle-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that combines a powerful pull-up with a dip, taking you from below the bar to above it in one fluid motion. A highlight of many bar muscle up workouts, it demands upper body strength, timing, and core control.

    In this workout, bar muscle-ups challenge your grip, pulling power, and technique—making them a true test of gymnastic capacity. Whether strict or kipping, the bar muscle-up is a milestone movement in CrossFit and functional fitness.
