Execution and Focus

Stevie-Mae is a challenging benchmark workout designed to test your metabolic conditioning and strength endurance through its two-part structure. The first segment of 18 minutes focuses on a high-intensity AMRAP, including 29 Double-Unders, 5 Clean-and-Jerks, and a 200 m Run. This combination emphasizes cardiovascular fitness, explosive strength, and coordination. The rest period allows athletes to briefly recover before diving into the second AMRAP, which consists of 11 Overhead Squats and 21 Bar Over Burpees. This section will challenge your lower body strength, stability, and overall endurance, making it a well-rounded test for athletes at all levels, especially during the Stevie-Mae Memorial Tribute and Holiday Workouts.

Strategy and Finish

To optimize your performance in Stevie-Mae, start the workout with a sustainable pace during the first 6 minutes of the initial AMRAP to avoid fatigue. Each round should take around 60–90 seconds, allowing for smooth transitions between movements. Focus on unbroken sets for Clean-and-Jerks early on while pacing your Double-Unders to prevent tripping. During the 2-minute rest, strategize your approach to the second AMRAP. For Overhead Squats, maintain core engagement and brace properly to maximize stability. The Bar Over Burpees should be swift yet controlled to maintain your heart rate. Aim to push through the final moments of the workout for any extra rounds, as these can significantly enhance your score in this tribute to Stevie-Mae.

How do you scale the workout

The wod "Stevie-Mae" can be done by everyone

To scale the AMRAP 30 workout, start by adjusting the double-unders. If they are challenging, substitute with single-unders or perform lateral hops for a less intensive option.

For the Clean-and-Jerk, reduce the weight to something manageable for 5 unbroken reps, such as 50-60% of your max load, or use a lighter barbell or dumbbells.

When running, consider shortening the distance to 100 meters or opt for a row on a machine for a similar cardio effect.

In the second half, lower the weight for Overhead Squats to allow proper form—perhaps using a PVC pipe or lighter load of 20-30 lbs.

Lastly, modify Bar Over Burpees to regular burpees or step-back burpees as needed.

How do you score the WOD

See if you beat your friends in the wod "Stevie-Mae"

Your score for the AMRAP 30 workout called Stevie-Mae is calculated by adding up the total number of full rounds completed during both segments, plus any additional repetitions completed after your last full round.

During the first 18 minutes, you will complete rounds of 29 Double-Unders, 5 Clean-and-Jerks, and a 200 m Run. After a 2-minute rest, the second segment consists of 11 Overhead Squats and 21 Bar Over Burpees for the next 10 minutes.

For instance, if you complete 5 full rounds in the first part and 3 full rounds in the second part, your score would be 5 + 3 = 8 full rounds, plus any additional reps accumulated beyond the last full round. This total gives your final score in reps.

Here is how to gain an edge in the "Stevie-Mae"

Approach the AMRAP 30 workout, Stevie-Mae, with a solid pacing strategy. Begin the first segment at a moderate intensity for the double-unders, aiming for steady, consistent jumps rather than quick bursts. Focus on maintaining form during the clean-and-jerks; use your legs to drive up the bar to avoid excessive strain on your shoulders.

During the 200 m run, establish a comfortable rhythm that allows for recovery while still moving efficiently. When transitioning to the second segment, utilize breath control for the overhead squats. Ensure your grip is secure, and break the reps into manageable sets if needed. For the bar over burpees, work on a smooth flow to maintain stamina without fully taxing your energy.

Who are we honoring with the Workout "Stevie-Mae"

Why are we doing the "Stevie-Mae" workout?

Stevie-Mae is a tribute to Stevie Mae Squires, a beloved, spirited young athlete who inspired many with her positivity and determination. She was known for her infectious energy and passion for fitness, pushing her peers to aim higher and work harder.

This workout celebrates her legacy, embracing the challenges she faced and the joy she brought to those around her. Each movement symbolizes her strength and resilience, serving as a reminder to honor her memory through the pursuit of health and fitness.

What kind of exercises are in the Stevie-Mae The workout?

  • 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.

  • overhead squat

    The overhead squat is a high-skill movement that develops full-body strength, mobility, balance, and core control. A key lift in many overhead squat workouts, it involves holding a barbell locked overhead while performing a deep squat — challenging both stability and flexibility.

    In this workout, overhead squats train shoulder stability, midline engagement, and leg strength, making them a valuable tool for improving movement quality and preparing for Olympic lifts like the snatch.

  • running

    Running is one of the most effective ways to build cardiovascular endurance, leg strength, and mental toughness. A foundational element in many running workouts, it adds intensity and pacing challenges to both short sprints and longer distances.

    In this workout, running boosts your engine, footwork, and recovery capacity, especially when paired with strength or skill-based movements. Whether you're hitting meters or minutes, running is essential for building a well-rounded fitness base.

  • 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.
