Execution and Focus

The benchmark workout known as Bre is a dynamic AMRAP (As Many Rounds As Possible) routine designed to challenge your cardiovascular endurance and strength within a 20-minute time frame. This workout includes a 200 meter run, followed by a series of strength movements: 1 deadlift, 1 hang clean, 1 push press, and 1 thruster, concluding with another 200 meter run. The combination of these elements ensures a full-body engagement, allowing athletes to test their ability to transition quickly between running and barbell movements.

Strategy and Finish

To maximize your performance in Bre, start with a moderate pace on the 200 meter run to establish a rhythm without overly exhausting yourself. Each round should ideally take about 2-3 minutes, focusing first on precise form, especially during the deadlift and clean transitions. Keep your push presses unbroken early on to build momentum, then plan for brief breaks if needed as fatigue sets in. The thruster demands excellent coordination, so practice efficient breathing and movement flow to avoid burnout. In the final minutes, push your limits during the runs, knowing a strong finish can elevate your results in the Bre Memorial Tribute & Holiday Workouts leaderboard.

How do you perform the Bre workout

Learn how to crush this workout

Set a timer for 20 minutes and perform as many rounds as possible of the following sequence. Start with a 200-meter run to get your heart rate up and warm your muscles. Upon returning, perform 1 deadlift, ensuring you maintain a flat back and engage your core throughout the movement. Follow it immediately with 1 hang clean, driving through your hips to lift the barbell to your shoulders in one fluid motion.

Next, execute 1 push press, utilizing your legs for added power as you lock out overhead. After the push press, complete 1 thruster, combining a squat with a push press for a full-body challenge. Finish the round with another 200-meter run, focusing on maintaining good form to maximize efficiency. Repeat this cycle for the entire 20 minutes.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Bre" can be done by everyone

To scale the AMRAP 20 workout Bre, begin by adjusting the run distance. Instead of 200 meters, consider a 100-meter run to reduce fatigue.

For the deadlift, lower the weight to ensure proper form, aiming for 50% of your one-rep max or less. You can also use a lighter kettlebell or dumbbell for the hang clean, around 12–16 kg (26–35 lbs).

Scale the push press by using a manageable weight, such as 30–40 lbs, ensuring you can execute 10 unbroken reps. For the thruster, consider using a lighter barbell or kettlebell.

Finally, if needed, reduce total rounds to 3–5 to stay within your fitness level while maintaining intensity.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the wod "Bre"

Your score for the AMRAP 20 workout, known as Bre, is calculated by adding the total number of full rounds completed to any extra repetitions performed after your last full round.

Each round consists of a 200 meter run, followed by 1 deadlift, 1 hang clean, 1 push press, and 1 thruster, finishing with another 200 meter run. Be sure to keep track of your rounds as you complete the movements efficiently.

For example, if you finish 10 full rounds and complete an additional deadlift and hang clean after the last round, your score would be 10 rounds + 2 additional reps = 10 + 2 = 62 total repetitions.

What are the tips and strategy to use

Here is how to gain an edge in the "Bre"

Begin at a steady pace; avoid starting too aggressively on the first run. Focus on maintaining form and control during the lifts to prevent fatigue. Use a strong stance for the deadlift to preserve energy for later movements. Transition smoothly between exercises to minimize rest time and keep your heart rate elevated.

On the hang clean, ensure a fluid motion; this will help with efficiency. For the push press, drive through your legs to assist in lifting the weight, which will also give your upper body a break. Remember to keep breathing steady and consistent, especially during the thruster, where core stability is key.

Finish strong on your final 200-meter run, pushing through any fatigue you've accumulated.

What kind of exercises are in the Bre The workout?

  • Hang Clean

    Hang clean is a classic barbell movement that builds explosive power, coordination, and total-body strength. It’s a staple in many strength and CrossFit workouts thanks to its ability to develop pulling mechanics, midline stability, and hip extension.

    In this workout, hang cleans challenge your ability to move weight efficiently from the hang position while under fatigue. Whether cycling reps or grinding through heavy rounds, this movement reinforces strong posture and sharp bar path. It’s a benchmark for power output and weightlifting proficiency

  • 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.

  • Deadlift

    The deadlift is one of the most effective strength movements in any fitness program. It targets the posterior chain — including your glutes, hamstrings, back, and core — making it a cornerstone of any deadlift workout.

    In this workout, deadlifts develop raw strength, posture, and pulling power. Whether you're lifting light for speed or going heavy for strength, the deadlift builds a solid foundation for both performance and injury prevention.

  • thrusters

    The thruster is a full-body compound movement that combines a front squat with an overhead press, making it one of the most demanding and effective exercises in any thruster workout.

    In this workout, thrusters develop leg drive, shoulder endurance, and core stability, all while elevating your heart rate. Whether using a barbell, dumbbells, or kettlebells, the thruster is a powerful tool for building strength, power, and conditioning — fast.

  • running

    Running is one of the most effective ways to build cardiovascular endurance, leg strength, and mental toughness. A foundational element in many running workouts, it adds intensity and pacing challenges to both short sprints and longer distances.

    In this workout, running boosts your engine, footwork, and recovery capacity, especially when paired with strength or skill-based movements. Whether you're hitting meters or minutes, running is essential for building a well-rounded fitness base.
