How do you perform the Bathgate PTSD workout

Follow this with air squats, keeping your chest up and weight on your heels. Next, grab a kettlebell for swings, aiming for eye level to engage your core and glutes effectively.

Transition to double-unders, maintaining a steady rhythm, then move to push-ups, keeping your body in a straight line. Continue with sit-ups, focusing on controlled movements to engage your core thoroughly.

Incorporate lunges, strict presses, mountain climbers, and dumbbell push presses, maintaining form throughout. Complete box jumps, ensuring full hip extension at the top, then shuttle runs to keep your heart rate elevated.

Finish off with wall ball shots, ball slams, burpees, bench presses, and deadlifts, followed by a wall sit and a plank hold. For the final challenge, include rope climbs, toes-to-bars, and close with dumbbell snatches for a comprehensive workout.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Bathgate PTSD" can be done by everyone

For those new to fitness, consider reducing the duration of the workout to 14 minutes. You can also scale the pull-ups by using a resistance band or performing banded pull-ups to assist your movement.

For the kettlebell swings, choose a lighter weight, around 8–12 kg, or perform the movement without weight, focusing on form.

Modify double-unders to single-under jumps or high knees. Push-ups can be done on your knees or elevated on a box for support.

If lunges are too challenging, perform reverse lunges or stationary lunges to reduce instability.

Finally, consider reducing the total number of rounds or alternating some movements to manage fatigue effectively.

  • dumbbell snatch

    The dumbbell snatch is a powerful, full-body movement that builds explosiveness, coordination, and core strength. Commonly used in CrossFit, a dumbbell snatch workout challenges both strength and endurance while training one side of the body at a time.

    In this workout, dumbbell snatches help increase intensity, improve unilateral balance, and add variety to your training. Whether you're a beginner or advanced athlete, the dumbbell snatch workout format can be easily scaled and is highly effective for total-body conditioning.

  • bench press

    The bench press is a foundational upper-body strength movement where the athlete presses a barbell from chest to full extension while lying on a bench. Central to any serious bench press workout, it’s a proven builder of raw pushing power and muscle mass.

    In this workout, the bench press targets the chest, triceps, and shoulders—developing pressing strength and upper-body control. Whether trained for max strength, hypertrophy, or accessory work, the bench press remains a cornerstone of effective strength programming.

  • sit-up

    Sit-ups are a classic core exercise where the athlete moves from a lying position to an upright seated position, engaging the abdominal muscles throughout. A common feature in sit-up workouts, this foundational movement builds endurance and strength in the front of the core.

    In this workout, sit-ups target the rectus abdominis and hip flexors, improving trunk flexion and midline control. They’re easy to scale, require minimal space, and can be performed for reps, speed, or volume—making them a versatile choice for conditioning and core development.

  • 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.

    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.

  • 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.
