#BylerStrong - Crossfit Workout

AMRAP 32

Max Calorie Bike
Station 1: 4 Rope Climbs, 200 meter Medicine Ball Run – 20/14 lb
Station 2: 12 Thrusters – @95/65 lb, 200 meter Medicine Ball Run – 20/14 lb
Station 3: 89 Double-Unders, 200 meter Medicine Ball Run – 20/14 lb
One athlete should be on the Bike at all times. Switch after every station is completed.

Execution and Focus

#BylerStrong is an intense AMRAP 32 workout that not only tests endurance but also fosters camaraderie and competitive spirit. The structure consists of multiple stations, each incorporating specific movements designed to challenge both strength and cardiovascular capacity. The first station features max calorie bike efforts, promoting cardiovascular endurance, while the rope climbs enhance grip strength and upper body power. Transitioning to the second station, the thrusters build overall body strength and stability, paired with the dynamically taxing 200-meter medicine ball run. The third station focuses on double-unders, enhancing coordination and agility, followed by another run segment. This workout structure emphasizes continuous movement and strategic transitions to maximize output and maintain intensity throughout the 32 minutes.

Strategy and Finish

To optimize performance during the #BylerStrong workout, begin with a deliberate pace that allows breathing control and muscle activation in the first few minutes. Aim to complete each station within a consistent timeframe, estimating around 1–2 minutes per station to keep a steady flow. When transitioning between stations, focus on minimizing downtime to increase calorie burn and maintain momentum. For the rope climbs and thrusters, establish a rhythm that allows for swift yet controlled movements. The double-unders may require quick footwork, so practice efficiency in your transitions to the medicine ball run. In the remaining minutes, push your limits and aim to complete as many rounds as possible — every additional round counts toward your performance in the #BylerStrong Memorial Tribute and Holiday Workouts leaderboard.

How do you perform the #BylerStrong workout

Learn how to crush this workout

To perform the BylerStrong workout, start with the AMRAP 32 routine, maximizing your calorie burn on the bike. One athlete should always be on the bike, ensuring continuous movement and energy expenditure.

For Station 1, complete 4 rope climbs followed by a 200-meter medicine ball run to enhance your upper body strength and cardiovascular endurance. Ensure to maintain proper form on the climbs and engage your core during the run.

At Station 2, perform 12 thrusters using a barbell or dumbbells. This full-body movement activates multiple muscle groups, followed by another 200-meter medicine ball run.

Finally, at Station 3, execute 89 double-unders to improve your coordination and agility, finishing with the 200-meter medicine ball run. Transition smoothly between stations while keeping rest minimal for optimal performance.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "#BylerStrong" can be done by everyone

For the AMRAP 32, adjust the calorie bike intensity by lowering the effort or duration, aiming for a sustainable pace throughout.

Scale the rope climbs to scaled rope pulls or use a low bar for inverted rows. For the medicine ball run, shorten the distance to 100 meters if needed.

Reduce the thruster weight to something manageable, such as 20–30 lbs, or perform front squats with a lighter load. For double-unders, modify them to single-unders or practice lateral hops to maintain the intensity.

Consider reducing the total time to 24–28 minutes for beginners, allowing each station ample rest between transitions to ensure proper form and safety.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the wod "#BylerStrong"

Your score for the AMRAP 32 workout is calculated by counting the total number of full rounds completed multiplied by the total reps from each station, plus any remaining reps after your last full round. Each station has specific movements that contribute to your score.

For instance, if you complete 10 full rounds and then perform 2 rope climbs, 5 thrusters, and 30 double-unders, your score would be calculated as follows: 10 rounds x the total reps of exercises in one round (4 + 12 + 89) = 10 x 105 = 1050 reps, plus the additional reps from the last round.

Thus, your total score would be 1050 + 2 + 5 + 30 = 1087 reps overall.

What are the tips and strategy to use

Here is how to gain an edge in the "#BylerStrong"

Prioritize your pacing in AMRAP 32 — starting strong can lead to fatigue. Aim to maintain a steady effort across all stations. Use the Bike to recover while still accumulating calories. Focus on efficient transitions; practice switching between stations to save seconds that add up.

On the rope climbs, consider using a foot lock to conserve energy. During the thrusters, engage your core and drive through your legs, ensuring a strong rack position for each rep. For double-unders, maintain a smooth rhythm to avoid wasted jumps. If you struggle, revert to singles to keep moving.

Utilize the 200-meter medicine ball run as an active recovery phase, keeping a manageable pace to regroup for the next station.

What kind of exercises are in the #BylerStrong The workout?

  • 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.

    In this workout, double unders challenge your footwork, rhythm, and breathing, making them a key tool for improving overall conditioning. Whether you're linking sets or working on consistency, double unders are a fast-paced way to level up your engine.

  • 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.

  • rope climb

    The rope climb is a classic functional fitness movement that develops upper body pulling strength, grip endurance, and core control. Frequently featured in rope climb workouts, it challenges both technique and toughness.

    In this workout, rope climbs train your lats, arms, and abs, while demanding coordination and efficient footwork. Whether performed legless or with a J-hook, the rope climb builds confidence and capacity in gymnastics-style pulling.

  • 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.
