1 October - Crossfit Workout

For Time: 1

91 Burpees Over the Bar
10:01-20:00 perform 58 Thrusters - @43/95 lb (20/65 kg)
Each thruster break adds 20/10 lb.

Execution and Focus

The workout 45931 is a high-intensity benchmark aimed at testing overall endurance and power output through a combination of diverse movements. With the primary challenge being 91 Burpees Over the Bar, athletes must push through a grueling number of reps right from the start. The second segment, performed between the 10:01 to 20:00 mark, involves 58 Thrusters, which require not only strength but also coordination and stamina as the weight increases with each break taken. This structure is designed to test the athlete's ability to sustain performance while managing fatigue, making it a compelling repeatable test for any fitness level, especially for those preparing for the 45931 Memorial Tribute & Holiday Workouts.

Strategy and Finish

To achieve success in the 45931 workout, begin with a steady and methodical pace for the Burpees, aiming to keep rest periods minimal. Efficient transitions between movements are crucial to maintain momentum. During the Thrusters, focus on maintaining optimal technique — breaking down the reps as needed but minimizing the weight penalties to avoid excessive fatigue. It's advisable to have a clear strategy: plan to minimize rest after the Burpees and find a rhythm that allows for sustainable Thruster execution. Utilize the final minutes to push for extra rounds, as this can significantly impact the overall time, especially in the context of the 45931 Memorial Tribute & Holiday Workouts WOD.

How do you perform the 1 October workout

Learn how to crush this workout

Begin your workout with 91 burpees over the bar, ensuring you clear the bar on each jump. Maintain a steady pace to manage your energy effectively throughout this segment.

Once you've completed the burpees, shift to the thrusters during the designated time window of 10:01-20:00. Start with a weight that feels manageable, but be prepared to adjust for any breaks you take. If you rest, increase the load by 20 lb. for men or 10 lb. for women upon resuming.

For the thrusters, keep your core engaged and drive upwards through your heels, fully extending your arms overhead. Focus on fluid movement to transition between the squat and the press efficiently.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "1 October" can be done by everyone

Scale the burpees by reducing the number performed or substituting with jumping jacks. For the thrusters, lower the weight to a more manageable load, such as 65/45 lb. or adjust to 30/20 lb. if needed. Consider performing only 5 rounds instead of 10:01-20:00 if fatigue sets in.

If you're struggling with form, reduce the range of motion by performing front squats instead. Alternatively, switch to dumbbells or kettlebells for thrusters, using weights between 10-15 kg.

Adjust the workout's total time to fit your fitness level, aiming for 12-15 minutes while focusing on maintaining good technique throughout.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the wod "1 October"

Your score for the benchmark workout 45931 is calculated by adding the total number of full rounds you completed to any additional repetitions performed after your last full round. Each burpee over the bar counts as one rep.

For instance, if you completed 5 rounds and did 30 burpees over the bar before finishing the workout, your score would be 5 rounds + 30 burpees, totaling 155 reps.

Remember that during the second segment (10:01-20:00) you were required to perform 58 thrusters. If you had to take breaks, each break would add the specified weight penalty of 20 lbs for men and 10 lbs for women.

Tracking your time and ensuring all reps are counted accurately will lead to the most precise score for your performance.
