Bring a Friend Free Saturday W.O.D. – 32 Minutes (AMRAP – Reps)
8 Rounds of…
As Many Reps as Possible in 2 Minutes of…
10/7 Calorie Row
10 Burpees Over the Rower
Max 30′ Double Kettlebell Farmer’s Carry (55s/35s)
*Cones 30′ Apart. Every cone touch is a rep. Only one foot needs to touch the “line.”
Rest 2 Minutes
*Athletes, if you’re not planning to jump over the rower today and there’s more people than rowers (even when pairing athletes together to stagger the starts), it’s totally fine to do this with a ski erg today and do regular burpees not over the rower.
These are sprint efforts.
Intended Stimulus
These are true sprint efforts , not pacing pieces.
The goal of this workout is to:
Spike heart rate quickly
Create heavy grip and trunk fatigue
Force composure under breathing stress
You should feel:
A fast row that elevates heart rate immediately
Burpees that push you into oxygen debt
Farmer’s carries that challenge posture, grip, and mental toughness
The 2-minute work / 2-minute rest format is intentional. You are meant to push hard , recover just enough, and repeat with intent.
Pacing Guidance
Row: Aggressive but controlled — think ~85–90% effort, not a death sprint
Burpees: Steady and efficient; avoid long pauses
Farmer’s Carry: Stay tall, walk with purpose, and keep moving even when grip is challenged
The carry will naturally slow over rounds. That’s expected. The goal is to limit the drop-off , not avoid it.
Movement Priorities
Strong posture during carries: ribs down, shoulders back, eyes forward
Short, quick steps instead of overstriding
Avoid slamming the bells down unless grip is failing
Modifications & Logistics
If you’re not jumping over the rower , or if rowers are limited:
Use a SkiErg
Perform regular burpees instead of burpees over the rower
This does not change the stimulus—still sprint, still earn the carry.
Big Picture
This workout trains:
Anaerobic power
Grip endurance under fatigue
Repeated high-output efforts
Attack each round with intent, recover with purpose, and be ready to go again when the clock starts.
