How do you scale the workout

The wod "Tips" can be done by everyone

Consider using a lighter barbell for curls and skull crushers, allowing for 10-15 reps with good form. If necessary, perform these movements with dumbbells instead.

For the push-ups, you can modify by doing them on your knees or elevate your hands on a box or bench to decrease difficulty.

When scaling the kettlebell Turkish get-ups, opt for a lighter kettlebell or perform the movement without weight until you master the technique.

For shoulder presses, use a lighter weight or dumbbells to maintain proper form for 8-10 reps.

If the goblet squat is challenging, reduce the weight or perform air squats instead. Lastly, decrease the run distance to 400 meters or replace it with a fast-paced walk if needed.

How do you score the WOD

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

Your score for this workout is calculated by adding the total number of full rounds completed to any additional repetitions performed after the last completed round.

For example, if you finish 3 full rounds and then complete 10 Barbell Curls, your score would be 3 rounds plus 10 reps, resulting in a total score of 3 + 10 = 38.

Remember to keep track of your time as well, as it can help you measure your progress over multiple attempts. The goal is to push yourself to improve each time you challenge this workout, aiming for more rounds or reps within the same time frame.

Staying consistent with your scoring will help you recognize your strengths and areas for improvement in your fitness journey.

What are the tips and strategy to use

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

Plan your pacing carefully; aim to finish each round in a steady time rather than starting too fast. Keeping a consistent rhythm will help you manage your energy throughout the workout.

For the barbell curls and skull crushers, consider using lighter weights if you struggle with endurance, allowing you to maintain good form and speed.

When performing push-ups, focus on maintaining proper form instead of rushing through them; this will prevent fatigue and injury.

For the kettlebell Turkish get-ups, prioritize technique over speed. Break the movement down into manageable phases to ensure safety and effectiveness.

During the run, find a comfortable pace and maintain a steady breathing pattern to prepare for the final movements of the workout.

Who are we honoring with the Workout "Tips"

Why are we doing the "Tips" workout?

The workout "Tips" honors those who embody perseverance and strength in their daily lives. It is a tribute to individuals who inspire others through their dedication to fitness and self-improvement.

Each movement in the workout symbolizes a different aspect of resilience, from the curls that build bicep strength to the Turkish get-ups that require both physical and mental fortitude.

Ultimately, this workout serves as a reminder to honor our mentors, friends, and family members who have motivated us on our fitness journeys.

What kind of exercises are in the Tips The workout?

  • 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.

  • dumbbell shoulder to overhead

    Dumbbell shoulder to overhead refers to any movement that takes the dumbbells from the shoulders to full lockout overhead—such as a strict press, push press, or push jerk. A staple in dumbbell shoulder to overhead workouts, this movement builds upper-body strength and stability under load.

    In this workout, dumbbell shoulder to overhead develops shoulder endurance, triceps strength, and core control. The independent loading of each arm challenges balance and muscular symmetry, while allowing for scalable progressions. It’s a go-to for building overhead capacity in both strength and conditioning settings.
