How do you perform the Fast workout

Learn how to crush this workout

Perform 3 rounds for time, starting with 10 deadlifts. Use a barbell, ensuring to maintain proper form by keeping your back straight and engaging your core. Focus on lifting with your legs rather than your back to avoid injury. Aim for a weight that challenges you but allows for proper technique.

Transition smoothly into 10 lateral bar over burpees. As you complete each burpee, jump laterally over the barbell, ensuring you land softly to protect your joints. This exercise combines strength and agility, so stay focused on maintaining your pace.

Keep your transitions quick and limit rest between exercises to maximize efficiency. Push yourself to finish each round as quickly as possible while maintaining good form throughout the workout.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Fast" can be done by everyone

Reduce the deadlift weight so you can perform all 10 reps with good form. Consider using a lighter barbell or an empty bar if necessary. For the lateral bar over burpees, modify by stepping over the bar instead of jumping, or reduce the number of burpees to 5 per round for a manageable pace.

If needed, scale the total rounds to 2 instead of 3 to reduce the overall volume. Beginners may also increase rest time between rounds or aim for completion within 10–12 minutes. Focus on maintaining proper technique over speed to ensure safety and effectiveness.

How do you score the WOD

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

Your score for the benchmark workout titled "Fast" is determined by the total number of full rounds completed, along with any additional repetitions after the last full round.

Each round consists of completing 10 Deadlifts and 10 Lateral Bar Over Burpees. Make sure to execute both exercises with proper form to maximize efficiency and scoring.

For example, if you complete 3 full rounds and then finish 5 Deadlifts in your next round, your score would be calculated as follows: 3 rounds + 5 Deadlifts, equal to a total of 35 reps.

Keep track of your time, as well, since this workout is for time, and improvement can be measured both by rounds completed and the overall time taken.
