1 Bodyweight Squat Clean-and-Jerk

Execution and Focus

Ho Ho Oh No is a unique and festive benchmark workout designed to test your agility, strength, and endurance through a structured EMOM (Every Minute on the Minute) format lasting 20 minutes. Each minute, participants will complete 3 Bodyweight Deadlifts, followed by 2 Bodyweight Power Cleans, and finish with 1 Bodyweight Squat Clean-and-Jerk.

The bodyweight nature of the exercises makes it accessible while still challenging, encouraging athletes to focus on technique and stamina throughout. Perfect for the holiday season, this workout serves as both a tribute and a challenge on multiple fitness levels.

Strategy and Finish

To maximize performance in Ho Ho Oh No, start with a steady and deliberate pace during the initial minutes to establish a rhythm. Each minute's work should ideally take between 40–60 seconds, allowing for adequate recovery in the remaining time. Focus on maintaining form, especially during the squat clean-and-jerk, where technique can falter as fatigue sets in. Break the sets into manageable chunks if necessary, ensuring that you avoid premature burnout. As you approach the final 5 minutes, push your limits; consider adding a round if your capacity allows. This final push can significantly impact your overall score and showcase your endurance for the holiday workout spirit.

How do you perform the Ho Ho Oh No workout

Learn how to crush this workout

To perform the Ho Ho Oh No workout, start with a 20-minute EMOM. For each minute, complete 3 Bodyweight Deadlifts, focusing on maintaining a straight back and engaging your core. Lower your body by bending at the hips and knees, lifting your hips as you rise to stand.

Next, perform 2 Bodyweight Power Cleans by explosively pulling yourself under an imaginary barbell, using your legs and upper body to lift your elbows high. Ensure you land in a quarter squat position to prepare for the next movement.

Finish each minute with 1 Bodyweight Squat Clean-and-Jerk. Drop into a squat to simulate the clean, then drive upwards, using your legs to assist in the jerk. Maintain a steady pace to maximize your efficiency throughout the 20 minutes.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Ho Ho Oh No" can be done by everyone

For the EMOM workout, scale the bodyweight deadlifts by reducing the reps to 2 if needed, or using a lighter weight such as a barbell for assisted lifts. Adjust the bodyweight power cleans by lowering the number of reps to 1 or using a dumbbell for a single-arm variant to aid form. Modify the squat clean-and-jerk by performing a jump squat to reduce impact or lowering the weight to something manageable that allows for good technique.

If you're a beginner, consider shortening the EMOM to 10–15 minutes or reducing the total reps to create a more manageable routine. Focus on mastering the movements with proper form before increasing intensity or duration.
