How do you perform the 13E RDP workout

Learn how to crush this workout

Begin with the 3,200 meter weighted run. Choose a weight that challenges you but allows you to maintain proper form throughout the distance. Focus on your breathing and pace yourself to ensure you can complete the run without excessive fatigue.

After completing the run, move to the pull-ups. Aim for strict form; engage your back and core as you pull up. If necessary, use a band for assistance or perform bodyweight rows as an alternative.

Next, transition to the push-ups. Maintain a straight body line, lowering yourself until your chest almost touches the ground. Keep your elbows at a 45-degree angle to protect your shoulders.

Finally, finish with air squats. Ensure your feet are shoulder-width apart, and go down until your thighs are parallel to the ground. Maintain an upright torso and drive through your heels as you return to standing.

Scale the 3,200 meter Weighted Run by reducing the distance to 2,400 meters or use a lighter weight, such as 10–15% of your body weight. If unable to perform pull-ups, substitute with jumping pull-ups or band-assisted pull-ups. Consider reducing the number of pull-ups to 25 or 30 for more manageable sets.

For push-ups, modify them to knee push-ups or incline push-ups on a bench to ensure proper form. You can also reduce the total to 50 reps. For air squats, focus on depth and form, and if needed, decrease the reps to 75 or 80.

Adjust the workout time to 20–25 minutes if necessary, allowing enough time to complete each movement with correct technique.
