How do you scale the workout

The wod "Tony Mcdade" can be done by everyone

For the 3 Rounds for Time workout, scale double-unders by substituting with single-unders or jumping jacks to manage fatigue. Aim for a ratio of 2:1, targeting 40-50 single-unders instead of 81 double-unders.

For wall ball shots, consider reducing the weight of the ball to 6-8 lbs, or if that’s still too heavy, perform the movement with a lighter object. Alternatively, reduce the reps to 30 per round.

For deadlifts, scale the weight down to a manageable load, such as 50-75 lbs, or opt for kettlebell deadlifts if available. Ensure the form remains a priority, focusing on technique to avoid injury.

Who are we honoring with the Workout "Tony Mcdade"

Why are we doing the "Tony Mcdade" workout?

The workout "Tony McDade" honors the memory of Tony McDade, a Black transgender man who was tragically killed in 2020. His life and legacy are recognized through this high-intensity workout, which reflects the strength and resilience of the LGBTQ+ community.

The workout serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of inclusivity, equality, and justice for all.

What kind of exercises are in the Tony Mcdade 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.

  • 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

    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.
