How do you perform the Ike Noel workout

Learn how to crush this workout

For this AMRAP 23 workout, partner up and begin with deadlifts. Use a barbell that is comfortable for both partners, ensuring proper form with each lift. Keep your back straight and engage your core as you lift. Switch between partners to maintain intensity.

Next, perform synchro burpees over the barbell. Both partners should jump over the bar together after completing each burpee, ensuring synchronization for maximum effectiveness. Focus on maintaining a steady pace and proper form throughout.

Finally, transition to shared wall balls. Stand facing each other and pass the wall ball back and forth, ensuring the ball hits the target height. Alternate catches and throws seamlessly to keep the workout flowing. Aim for continuous movement to maximize your AMRAP time!

  • wall ball

    The wall ball is a classic CrossFit movement that combines a front squat and an explosive throw, targeting your legs, shoulders, and lungs in one fluid motion. It’s a staple in any high-intensity wall ball workout, known for quickly elevating your heart rate.

    In this workout, wall balls build endurance, coordination, and full-body power. Whether you're using a 10 or 20 lb ball, this simple movement delivers serious results — especially when the reps start adding up.

  • Burpee

    The burpee is a simple, full-body movement that combines a squat, plank, and jump into one explosive exercise. It’s a staple in nearly every burpee workout thanks to its ability to build cardio endurance, coordination, and mental toughness — fast.

    In this workout, burpees spike your heart rate, challenge your engine, and require no equipment. Whether you're doing them over a bar, onto a target, or just flat out, burpees are a true test of grit and conditioning.

  • 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.
