We continue our look at the 2026 CrossFit Games with a WOD inspired from Event 7 – Swim Standard.   Now, if you want to do this WOD as it was written, feel free to hit the lap pool.  If you don’t have access to one, we figured a good alternative was the Ski Erg.  With the Burpee over line, use an actual line on the floor or an imaginary one. Drop down and do a burpee, pop up, and hop over that line, turn around and repeat.

Cals -> Cut 50% on each section (ELITE: switch to swim at 200m, 150m, 100m, 50m, respectively)

We kick off our transition week/Look back at the 2026 CrossFit Games with Events 3,4, and 5: The CrossFit Total!  For all the lifters out there, this is your day. Remember to evenly split remaining time after w/u for the three lifts. Let folks know they have “x” amount of time to get 3 attempts in. Weight-wise, first attempt should be something in the 85-90-95% range of their 1RM (something you KNOW you can hit), second attempt right at or just slightly above their current 1RM (Something your SHOULD be able to get), and last attempt should be what they hope will be their new 1RM (Something you HOPE to get).

Key of the day, “core to extremity”.  Use the bigger muscle groups before using the smaller ones.  With air squats, it’s all hips and legs.  For Sumo Deadlift High Pulls, use the hips to pop the weight up before using the shoulders and arms right at the end.  In the HSPUs, unless you’re going strict, use the extension of the legs in the kip to let your hips extend you upwards.

Air Squat -> set target to reachable depth

KB weight -> 55/35 -> as needed

HSPUs -> Pike push ups off a box or floor -> high kneel DB OH Press
