The Kendrick benchmark workouts are designed to challenge athletes with a mix of strength, endurance, and coordination. The AMRAP 23 consists of multiple movements including Devil’s Press, which tests full-body strength and conditioning, alongside calorie burn on the Echo Bike. The addition of Double Dumbbell Box Step-Overs and Front Squats enhances core stability and leg strength. These elements combined create an intense workout experience, ideal for athletes looking to improve their overall fitness. The AMRAP 18 focuses on power cleans, pull-ups, and double-unders, encouraging athletes to showcase their explosive strength and cardiovascular capacity. Both workouts are tailored for those aiming to honor the Kendrick Memorial Tribute while enhancing their performance.

Strategy and Finish

For AMRAP 23, set a steady, maintainable pace to maximize your performance across the workout. Break the Devil's Press into manageable sets if needed, especially as fatigue sets in. Transition quickly between movements to keep your heart rate elevated. In the AMRAP 18, focus on smooth, explosive power cleans to set the tone, followed by consistent pull-up sets to avoid excessive fatigue. For double-unders, practice a rhythm that works for you, aiming to keep them unbroken where possible. In the final minutes of each workout, push harder to secure those last few reps; this can significantly impact your standing in the Kendrick Memorial Tribute & Holiday Workouts WOD.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Kendrick" can be done by everyone

For the AMRAP 23, consider reducing the number of Devil's Press to 2 or 1 per round to maintain intensity while managing fatigue. You can lower the calorie target on the Echo Bike to 15–20 calories. Scale the Double Dumbbell Box Step-Overs by using lighter weights or decreasing the step height.

As for the AMRAP 18, reduce the number of Power Cleans to 5–6 reps and opt for a lighter barbell weight to facilitate proper form. For Pull-Ups, perform jumping pull-ups or use a band for assistance. Cut down the Double-Unders to 40–60 reps, or substitute with single-unders if needed.

How do you score the WOD

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

To score the AMRAP 23, tally the full rounds completed along with any extra repetitions performed after the last full round. For instance, if you finish 5 complete rounds and complete 2 Devil's Presses after your final round, your score would be 5 rounds + 2 reps, totaling 17 reps.

For the AMRAP 18, the process is similar. Count the total number of full rounds you achieve, then add any additional reps completed after your last full round. If you finish 3 rounds and complete 4 Power Cleans afterward, your score would be 3 + 4, giving you a total of 40 reps.

This method ensures an accurate representation of your performance for both benchmarks.

In the AMRAP 18, break the pull-ups into manageable sets to avoid excessive fatigue. Pick a challenging but sustainable pace for the Power Cleans. When performing Double-Unders, use lighter, quicker jumps to stay consistent and avoid tripping.

Who are we honoring with the Workout "Kendrick"

Why are we doing the "Kendrick" workout?

The workout "Kendrick" is honoring Kendrick Farris, a dedicated and accomplished weightlifter who represented the United States in the Olympics. Known for his relentless work ethic and passion for the sport, Farris has inspired many in the fitness community.

This workout celebrates his resilience and commitment to excellence, combining various challenging movements to push athletes to their limits, much like Kendrick did in his career. The structure of the workout reflects the intensity and determination that Farris embodies in his training and competitions.

What kind of exercises are in the Kendrick The workout?

  • double dumbbell front squat

    The double dumbbell front squat is a compound lower-body lift where two dumbbells are held in a front rack position throughout the squat. A key component in double dumbbell front squat workouts, this variation demands midline control and upright posture.

    In this workout, double dumbbell front squats strengthen the quads, glutes, and core while also testing shoulder stability and coordination. The independent loading adds an extra challenge, making it a functional and efficient choice for strength development in minimal space

  • 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.

  • devils press

    The Devil’s Press is a brutal, full-body movement that combines a burpee and a double dumbbell snatch. It’s a staple in high-intensity Devils press workouts, designed to build explosive strength, conditioning, and mental toughness.

    In this workout, Devil’s Press challenges your grip, shoulders, legs, and lungs—all in one powerful movement. Whether used in sprints or long AMRAPs, the Devil’s Press is a true test of endurance and effort.

  • power clean

    The power clean is a fast, explosive lift that develops full-body strength, speed, and coordination. A staple in Olympic lifting and functional fitness, it’s central to many high-intensity power clean workouts.

    In this workout, power cleans train your hip extension, pulling power, and barbell control, making them ideal for improving athletic performance and barbell cycling. Whether done heavy or for reps, the power clean is key for building functional power and explosiveness.
