Scaling
Scaled
53/35 lb kettlebell, banded pull-ups, 3-4 rounds. Even elite athletes take 30+ minutes on Eva — respect the total volume when choosing.
Beginner
Not a beginner workout. Substitute 3 rounds of a 400m run, 15 Russian swings, and 15 ring rows, and build toward it over months.
The story
One of the heaviest-volume Girls: five rounds of an 800m run, thirty two-pood kettlebell swings, and thirty pull-ups. A long, punishing test usually reserved for experienced athletes — the total is 2.5 miles of running, 150 heavy swings, and 150 pull-ups. Part of CrossFit's original 'Girls' benchmark series — named workouts introduced by founder Greg Glassman starting in 2003, on the logic that anything that leaves you flat on your back deserves a name like a storm. They serve as repeatable fitness tests: revisit one every few months and the clock tells you whether you're fitter. First posted to CrossFit.com on 2008-02-24.
