How do you perform the Garfield workout

Learn how to crush this workout

Perform an AMRAP for 20 minutes with the following exercises: 9 Deadlifts, 19 Ring Dips, 18 Pull-Ups, and 81 Double-Unders. Start with the Deadlifts, ensuring your back is straight and engaging your hamstrings and glutes as you lift. For the Ring Dips, lower your body until your elbows are at 90 degrees, then fully extend on the way up. Move to Pull-Ups, focusing on a controlled ascent and descent, keeping your core tight. Finally, perform Double-Unders with consistent wrist movement, jumping high enough to allow the rope to pass twice under your feet. Transition smoothly between exercises to maximize efficiency and minimize rest.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Garfield" can be done by everyone

To scale the AMRAP 20 workout called Garfield, start by reducing the deadlift weight to a manageable load, such as 40-60% of your body weight. This will ensure you can complete the nine reps unbroken.

For ring dips, consider using a band for assistance or scaling to push-ups to maintain intensity without compromising form.

Pull-ups can be modified to jumping pull-ups or ring rows to accommodate different strength levels. Aim for a technique that allows for continuous movement.

For double-unders, if they're challenging, scale to single-unders or reduce the number of reps to 40 to maintain your heart rate while ensuring you can complete the workout within the time frame.

How do you score the WOD

What kind of exercises are in the Garfield The workout?

  • ring dip

    Ring dips are a high-skill upper-body strength movement performed on gymnastic rings, requiring control, stability, and pressing power. Common in ring dip workouts, this movement targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps—while demanding intense core and shoulder stabilization.

    In this workout, ring dips develop pushing strength and gymnastic control, forming a key progression toward muscle-ups and other advanced movements. The instability of the rings forces full-body engagement, making ring dips a true test of upper-body strength and control in functional fitness.

  • 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.

  • Pull up

    The pull-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that builds upper body strength, focusing on your back, shoulders, arms, and core. A staple in almost every pull-up workout, it's key for developing gymnastics capacity and functional pulling power.

    In this workout, pull-ups challenge your grip, coordination, and endurance — especially under fatigue. Whether strict, kipping, or butterfly, the pull-up remains one of the most effective and scalable exercises in CrossFit.

  • 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.
