Execution and Focus

The Matias benchmark workout is a challenging test of strength, endurance, and coordination designed to push athletes to their limits. Comprising two rounds, this workout includes a variety of movements: 25 Burpee Box Jump Overs, 7 Clean-and-Jerks, 19 Handstand Push-Ups, and 94 Double-Unders in the first round, followed by 28 Alternating Dumbbell Snatches, 12 Squat Cleans, 20 Toes-to-Bars, and finally, 18 Wall Ball Shots in the second. This structure not only enhances cardiovascular fitness but also emphasizes full-body strength and agility, making it a fitting tribute in memory of Matias.

Strategy and Finish

To tackle the Matias workout effectively, begin at a sustainable pace for the first round to build momentum without exhausting your energy reserves. Each round should ideally be completed in under 10–12 minutes, allowing room for efficient transitions and brief rests. Prioritize form during the Clean-and-Jerks and Squat Cleans to avoid injury, and break up the Handstand Push-Ups into manageable sets if needed. The Double-Unders and Wall Ball Shots require both rhythm and focus, so maintain a steady breathing pattern. In the last moments of the workout, give it your all to finish strong; every second counts in this tribute to Matias, making the effort truly worth it.

How do you perform the Matias workout

Learn how to crush this workout

For the Matias workout, begin with the first round, performing 25 Burpee Box Jump Overs, making sure to fully extend your hips at the top of each jump. Transition quickly to 7 Clean-and-Jerks, using an appropriate weight to maintain form. Follow this with 19 Handstand Push-Ups, keeping your core tight for stability.

Next, complete 94 Double-Unders, ensuring you’re jumping high enough for the rope to pass under twice. After finishing the first round, take a 5-minute rest to recover before moving to the second round.

In the second round, execute 28 Alternating Dumbbell Snatches, followed by 12 Squat Cleans. Then perform 20 Toes-to-Bars with controlled movement, and finish with 18 Wall Ball Shots, aiming for consistent height and accuracy.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Matias" can be done by everyone

Reduce the number of Burpee Box Jump Overs to 15 or modify them to a plank step-back if needed. For Clean-and-Jerks, use lighter weights, around 35–45 lbs, ensuring you can complete each rep with good form.

Scale Handstand Push-Ups by performing them on an elevated surface or switch to pike push-ups. Cut Double-Unders to single-unders or reduce the number to 50.

During the second round, lower the weight for Alternating Dumbbell Snatches to 15–25 lbs and decrease Squat Cleans to a lighter weight, around 55 lbs. For Toes-to-Bars, substitute with hanging knee raises, and perform Wall Ball Shots with a 10–14 lb ball, keeping the reps manageable.

How do you score the WOD

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

To score the benchmark workout Matias, you need to track the number of full rounds completed along with any additional repetitions performed after your last completed round.

Each round consists of a series of movements including 25 Burpee Box Jump Overs, 7 Clean-and-Jerks, 19 Handstand Push-Ups, and 94 Double-Unders, followed by a 5-minute rest before starting the second round.

After completing both rounds, add up the reps from the second round in the same manner. Your final score will be the sum of the total rounds completed plus any additional reps from the last round. For instance, if you complete 2 rounds and finish with 10 Wall Ball Shots, your score would be 2 rounds + 10 reps = 2 + 10 = 2,210 total reps.

What kind of exercises are in the Matias The workout?

  • 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.

  • handstand push-up

    The handstand push-up is a high-skill bodyweight movement that builds shoulder strength, balance, and core control. Common in advanced handstand push-up workouts, it challenges your upper body like few other movements.

    In this workout, handstand push-ups develop pressing power and gymnastic control under fatigue. Whether performed strict or kipping, the handstand push-up is a true test of body awareness and upper body stamina.

  • T2B

    Toes to bar is a powerful gymnastics movement that targets your core, grip, lats, and hip flexors, making it a key element in many high-intensity toes to bar workouts.

    In this workout, toes to bar challenge your core strength, rhythm, and coordination while under fatigue. Whether you're kipping or going strict, it’s an essential skill for improving gymnastics capacity and midline control in CrossFit.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • squat clean

    The squat clean is a compound Olympic lift that builds explosive power, coordination, and full-body strength. A staple in many high-skill squat clean workouts, it involves lifting a barbell from the ground into a front squat, catching it deep before standing to finish the rep.

    In this workout, squat cleans challenge your hip extension, pulling mechanics, leg drive, and mobility. Whether performed heavy for strength or light for speed, the squat clean is essential for developing athleticism and efficient barbell movement.

  • clean and jerk

    The clean and jerk is a foundational Olympic lift that develops full-body power, coordination, and strength. A key movement in many strength and conditioning programs, the clean and jerk workout combines a pull from the ground (clean) with an explosive overhead lift (jerk).

    In this workout, clean and jerks train your hips, legs, shoulders, and core, making it one of the most effective lifts for building athletic performance. Whether performed heavy for strength or light for speed, the clean and jerk is essential for total-body development.
