Mahsa - Crossfit Workout

22 Rounds for Time

13 Wall Ball Shots - @9/7 kg (20/15 lbs)
7 Devil Presses - @2x22.5/15 kg (50/33 lbs)
9 Box Jump Overs - @60/45 cm (24/18 in)

Execution and Focus

The 22 Rounds for Time workout, known as Mahsa, is a challenging benchmark that combines 13 Wall Ball Shots, 7 Devil Presses, and 9 Box Jump Overs. This sequence tests both muscular endurance and cardiovascular capacity, making it a rigorous test of an athlete’s fitness level. The wall ball shots demand explosiveness and leg strength, while the devil presses challenge shoulder stability and core engagement. Box jump overs require agility and coordination, rounding out a workout that pushes physical limits and mental grit. With the goal of completing all 22 rounds as quickly as possible, this workout serves as an excellent tribute and test for athletes across all levels during the Mahsa Memorial Tribute & Holiday Workouts.

Strategy and Finish

To maximize performance during the Mahsa workout, begin at a measured pace for the first few rounds, ideally aiming for 90 seconds per round. Each movement should be performed with focus to avoid form breakdown, especially under fatigue. Keeping wall ball shots smooth will help maintain energy for the devil presses, while quick transitions between movements will save valuable time. As the rounds progress, consider breaking up the devil presses if fatigue sets in to prevent failure. The box jump overs can either be executed as rebounding jumps or quick step-downs based on personal preference and conditioning. In the final rounds, dig deep and aim to finish strong — every second counts in the Mahsa Memorial Tribute & Holiday Workouts, and even minor adjustments in strategy can lead to significant improvements on the leaderboard.

How do you perform the Mahsa workout

Learn how to crush this workout

Complete 22 rounds for time, focusing on intensity and proper form. Start with 13 wall ball shots, using a 20-pound ball for men and a 14-pound ball for women. Squat down and explode upwards, throwing the ball to a target that is 10 feet high for men and 9 feet for women.

Next, perform 7 devil presses, combining a burpee with a dumbbell snatch. Ensure you use weights that challenge you, typically ranging from 25 to 50 pounds. Move efficiently from the burpee position to the overhead lift.

Finish each round with 9 box jump overs, using a box height of 24 inches for men and 20 inches for women. Focus on landing softly and fully extending your hips before jumping over the box to maximize speed and safety.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Mahsa" can be done by everyone

Reduce the wall ball shot weight to 6-8 kg for beginners or aim for a target that’s lower than 10 ft. Adjust the devil presses by lowering the weight to 8-12 kg or performing them without a full range of motion. For box jump overs, scale to a lower box height or substitute with step-ups at a comfortable height.

To accommodate varying fitness levels, consider reducing the total rounds from 22 to a more manageable number, such as 10 or 15. Alternatively, modify the workout to focus on form by allowing for longer rest periods between movements or extending the overall time to complete the workout to 20-25 minutes.

How do you score the WOD

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

Your score for the benchmark workout 22 Rounds for Time, called Mahsa, is calculated by counting the total number of full rounds completed and any extra repetitions performed after your final full round.

For example, if you finish 15 full rounds and then complete 4 Wall Ball Shots, your score would be 15 rounds + 4 reps = 15 + 4 = 244 reps total.

For each completed round, you will have performed 13 Wall Ball Shots, 7 Devil Presses, and 9 Box Jump Overs. Therefore, make sure to keep track of your reps for all three exercises to accurately determine your score.

Remember to push yourself for maximum rounds and extra reps to achieve the best score possible.

What are the tips and strategy to use

Here is how to gain an edge in the "Mahsa"

Begin at a manageable pace — aim to complete the first few rounds steadily rather than hurriedly. Place emphasis on efficient transitions between exercises to save valuable time. For wall ball shots, maintain a consistent rhythm and ensure your squat depth is adequate to maximize power.

Finally, hydrate well before the workout and plan ahead to set up your equipment for quick access, enhancing overall efficiency.
