How do you perform the Artie Stevens workout

Learn how to crush this workout

For the Artie Stevens workout, perform an AMRAP for 29 minutes consisting of five rounds. Start with wall ball shots, aiming for a target about 10 feet high for men and 9 feet high for women, using a 20-pound ball for men and a 14-pound ball for women. Transition to toes-to-bars, ensuring full extension as you engage your core.

Next, move to box jumps with a height of 24 inches for men and 20 inches for women, landing softly with feet fully extended on top. Follow this with push presses using a barbell, focusing on driving through the legs for added power. Each minute concludes with rowing for calories, giving your muscles a brief rest before starting again.

Make sure to rest during the sixth minute, and switch partners every 30 seconds to maintain intensity throughout the workout.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Artie Stevens" can be done by everyone

For the AMRAP 29 Minutes workout, scale wall ball shots by using a lighter ball, such as 6-8 lbs, or perform squats without a ball. For toes-to-bars, substitute with knee raises or hanging leg raises if needed. Box jumps can be scaled to step-ups or a lower box height, ensuring safety and proper form.

When it comes to push presses, reduce the weight to something manageable, aiming for 10 unbroken reps, such as 20-30 lbs for beginners. For the rowing portion, lower the calorie count to 5-8 calories per round if necessary.

Lastly, beginners may reduce the overall workout duration to 20 minutes, allowing for adjustments based on fitness levels and experience.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the wod "Artie Stevens"

To score your performance in the AMRAP 29 Minutes workout known as Artie Stevens, you will need to keep track of both the rounds completed and any additional repetitions you achieve after your last full round.

Each round consists of five different exercises performed over six minutes, including Wall Ball Shots, Toes-to-Bars, Box Jumps, Push Presses, and a calorie row. Once you complete all exercises in a round, start again until time runs out.

What kind of exercises are in the Artie Stevens The workout?

  • push press

    The push press is a powerful overhead movement where the athlete uses a dip-drive of the legs to assist in pressing a weight overhead. A mainstay in push press workouts, it blends lower-body drive with upper-body pressing strength.

    In this workout, push presses build shoulder endurance, triceps power, and explosive leg extension. The movement teaches efficient energy transfer and is ideal for conditioning, barbell cycling, or building overhead capacity in strength blocks.

  • Row Erg

    Rowing is a low-impact, full-body movement that builds cardiovascular endurance, leg drive, and pulling strength. It’s a staple in many CrossFit workouts because it trains both aerobic capacity and muscular coordination.

    In this rowing workout, each effort helps develop power output, pacing control, and total-body stamina — all while being easy on the joints. Whether you're sprinting for calories or pacing for meters, rowing is one of the most effective tools for conditioning.

  • T2B

    Toes to bar is a powerful gymnastics movement that targets your core, grip, lats, and hip flexors, making it a key element in many high-intensity toes to bar workouts.

    In this workout, toes to bar challenge your core strength, rhythm, and coordination while under fatigue. Whether you're kipping or going strict, it’s an essential skill for improving gymnastics capacity and midline control in CrossFit.

  • Box jump

    The box jump is a plyometric movement that builds explosive power, coordination, and lower body strength. It’s a key component in many high-intensity box jump workouts, often used to develop speed, agility, and stamina.

    In this workout, box jumps challenge your legs, core, and cardiovascular system, while also training quick reaction and balance. Whether performed at a moderate pace or in sprint intervals, the box jump is a powerful tool for improving athletic performance.
