How do you perform the Jennifer Sepot workout

Learn how to crush this workout

Start with a buy-in of 1,946 meters on the rowing machine, focusing on a steady pace to warm up your muscles. Aim for a moderate effort, ensuring you're maintaining proper form throughout the duration.

After completing the row, transition to 14 hang squat cleans using a barbell. Keep your back straight, pull the barbell close to your body, and drop into a squat position to catch it.

Next, perform 14 bar over burpees. Ensure you jump over the barbell with both feet, landing softly to protect your joints. After each burpee, maintain a quick pace to the next exercise.

Finish with 14 deadlifts. Keep your feet shoulder-width apart, grip the barbell firmly, and lift it using your legs while keeping your back straight. Focus on technique for maximum efficiency.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Jennifer Sepot" can be done by everyone

For scaling the workout "Jennifer Sepot," consider adjusting the row distance to 1,000m or use a stationary bike for a similar duration. You can reduce the weight of the hang squat cleans to 35-45 lbs or use a lighter alternative like dumbbells. If needed, modify bar over burpees to step-back burpees or simply perform a regular burpee without the jump.

For deadlifts, lower the weight to 65-95 lbs so you can maintain proper form. Beginners might also focus on performing just one round within a 12-15 minute time cap without sacrificing technique. It's essential to ensure that each movement is performed with control and safety as a priority.

What kind of exercises are in the Jennifer Sepot The workout?

  • Row Erg

    Rowing is a low-impact, full-body movement that builds cardiovascular endurance, leg drive, and pulling strength. It’s a staple in many CrossFit workouts because it trains both aerobic capacity and muscular coordination.

    In this rowing workout, each effort helps develop power output, pacing control, and total-body stamina — all while being easy on the joints. Whether you're sprinting for calories or pacing for meters, rowing is one of the most effective tools for 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.

  • hang squat clean

    The hang squat clean is a compound Olympic lift variation that begins from the hang position—above the knees—and finishes in a full front squat. Key in many hang squat clean workouts, this movement emphasizes bar control, speed under the bar, and clean mechanics without pulling from the floor.

    In this workout, hang squat cleans train explosive hip extension, front rack mobility, and leg strength. They’re especially useful for developing power, timing, and clean technique, while reducing lower back strain compared to full cleans from the floor.
