T. Red is a demanding benchmark workout that challenges your strength and endurance across 21 rounds, designed to push athletes to their limits. Each round consists of a Bar Muscle-Up, a Deadlift, two Handstand Push-Ups, a Power Clean, 21 Wall Ball Shots, and 23 Push-Ups, followed by a cash-out of a 400-meter weighted partner run. The varying movements test both upper and lower body strength while promoting cardiovascular fitness through the partner run.

Strategy and Finish

Begin T. Red at a controlled pace, focusing on form and efficiency, especially in the first few rounds. The intensity will build as fatigue sets in, so aim for consistent round times of 60–90 seconds. Prioritize unbroken Bar Muscle-Ups and Deadlifts in the earlier rounds before considering strategic breaks as needed. Maintain a steady rhythm through Handstand Push-Ups; consider a kipping option if needed. Keep the Wall Ball Shots smooth and avoid rushing, while Push-Ups should be performed with good technique to avoid early burnout. The final push during the 400-meter weighted partner run is crucial — it’s where you can make up valuable time and finish strong, showcasing your effort in this memorial tribute workout.

How do you scale the workout

Scale the Bar Muscle-Up to a jumping muscle-up or replace it with a banded pull-up for easier access. Adjust the Deadlift weight to 50-60% of your one-rep max to ensure proper form and avoid injury.

For Handstand Push-Ups, consider using an elevated surface for easier positioning or perform pike push-ups. Reduce the Power Clean weight to 30-40% of your one-rep max to maintain speed and technique.

For Wall Ball Shots, lower the weight to a 14-16 lb ball and reduce the target height if necessary. Push-Ups can be scaled to knee push-ups or incline push-ups to match your ability.

For the Cash-Out, opt for a 200-meter weighted partner run or a standard 400-meter run without weight.

  • 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.

  • Deadlift

    The deadlift is one of the most effective strength movements in any fitness program. It targets the posterior chain — including your glutes, hamstrings, back, and core — making it a cornerstone of any deadlift workout.

    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.

  • push up

    The push-up is a foundational bodyweight movement that strengthens the chest, shoulders, triceps, and core. A staple in any push-up workout, it’s effective, scalable, and requires no equipment — making it perfect for all fitness levels.

    In this workout, push-ups develop upper body endurance, stability, and control, especially under fatigue. Whether performed strict, hand-release, or elevated, the push-up is a timeless movement that builds strength and resilience.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • bar muscle up

    The bar muscle-up is a high-skill gymnastics movement that combines a powerful pull-up with a dip, taking you from below the bar to above it in one fluid motion. A highlight of many bar muscle up workouts, it demands upper body strength, timing, and core control.

    In this workout, bar muscle-ups challenge your grip, pulling power, and technique—making them a true test of gymnastic capacity. Whether strict or kipping, the bar muscle-up is a milestone movement in CrossFit and functional fitness.
