How do you scale the workout

The wod "Rip It For Rup" can be done by everyone

For those scaling the Rip It For Rup workout, consider adjusting the double-unders by substituting them with single-unders or performing jumping jacks. This will help maintain cardiovascular intensity without the complexity of double-unders.

When it comes to deadlifts, choose a weight that allows you to maintain good form, aiming for 50-60% of your one-rep max, or use a lighter kettlebell if necessary. If you’re new to deadlifts, consider using a barbell with plates reduced to a manageable weight or even perform the movement with a dowel.

For over-the-bar burpees, scale by stepping back instead of jumping or by performing regular burpees without the bar. Reducing the total repetitions to 5 per movement ensures a focus on quality while still pushing your limits.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the wod "Rip It For Rup"

Your score for the benchmark workout Rip It For Rup is calculated by adding the total number of full rounds completed along with any additional repetitions performed after your last full round.

  • 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.

  • Deadlift

    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.
