Proceed with 7 dumbbell snatches, engaging your hips and driving the weight overhead. Transition into 7 forward lunges, ensuring proper form as you step forward into each lunge. Complete 17 back extensions, focusing on the contraction of your lower back muscles.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Bradley Lowery" can be done by everyone

Scale the burpees to a step-back variation if jumping is challenging. For reverse lunges, reduce the number of reps to 3-5 per leg or perform them without weights. Lower the resistance on the assault bike or decrease the distance to 10 cal. For dumbbell snatches, use a lighter weight, around 10-15 lbs, or switch to a ground-to-shoulder movement.

In the case of forward lunges, you may perform stationary lunges or shorten the distance. Back extensions can be modified by doing them on a stability ball or decreasing the range of motion. For the yoke walks, scale the weight or reduce the distance to 10 meters. Adjust the cash-in row to a more manageable distance, like 1,000 meters.

What kind of exercises are in the Bradley Lowery The workout?

  • 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.

  • Reverse Lunges

    Reverse lunges are a joint-friendly, unilateral lower-body movement that emphasizes glute and hamstring engagement. A staple in reverse lunge workouts, this exercise involves stepping backward into a lunge, promoting better balance and alignment than forward variations.

    In this workout, reverse lunges build strength, stability, and coordination—especially in the hips and knees. They reduce anterior knee stress while developing single-leg control, making them ideal for injury prevention, muscle balance, and functional athletic performance. Scalable with dumbbells, kettlebells, or bodyweight.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • Assault Bike

    The Assault Bike is a fan-powered machine that delivers one of the most effective full-body conditioning challenges in fitness. Common in high-intensity assault bike workouts, it trains your legs, arms, and lungs all at once — and responds directly to how hard you push.

    In this workout, the Assault Bike is used to build power, stamina, and mental toughness. Whether you're sprinting for calories or holding a steady pace, the Assault Bike is perfect for intervals, finishers, or pure engine tests.
