Exercise Standards and Scaling

Mountain ClimberAir SquatHand Release PushupBox Jump Burpees

Movement Standards:

  1. Knee touches elbow.
  2. Hands directly under the shoulders.
  3. Left and Right counts as one rep.
  4. Hips remain at a constant height through the exercise.

Scaling Suggestions:

  1. Easier: use a plyobox to make the exercise easier.  A higher box is easier.
  2. Harder: use a TRX Suspension Trainer to make the exercise harder.
  3. Low Impact: use sliders to eliminate the plyometric component.

Squat and Air Squat Movement Standards:

  1. Hip crease descends below the knee on the bottom of the squat.
  2. Elbows completely straight.
  3. Chest Up
  4. Feet are shoulder-width apart.
  5. Rotate knees out throughout the squat
  6. Hand open thumbs face the back of the room, arms remain stacked over the body in line with the spine. (Air Squat Only).
  7. Arms extend forwards, thumbs face upwards. (Squat Only).

Scaling Suggestions:

  1. Easier: squat to a box to make the exercise easier.  Athletes under 5′ 8″ should use a use 12-inch box.  Taller athletes should use a 14-inch box.
  2. Easier Option 2: use an exercise band to provide additional stability to the athlete.  For very conditioned athletes combine the box and the band.
  3. Harder: add a plyometric jump at the top of the squat.
  4. Low Impact: this is a low impact exercise

Hand Release Pushups Movement Standards:

  1. Hands under the shoulder
  2. Back and hips straight
  3. Feet shoulder-width apart
  4. Maintain elbows close to the side of the body (do not flair your elbows)

  7. Press hands into the floor aggressively
  8. Back and hips rise together
  9. Lock Elbows out on top

Note: hand release pushups are required in all scalings of the Armistice WOD

Scaling Suggestions:

  1. Easier: use a box to make the pushup easier.  The taller the box, the easier the pushup.
  2. Easier Option 2: use an exercise band under the hips to make it easier to press up from the pushup.
  3. Harder: few athletes will need to scale up the pushup on this workout, but decline pushups and plyometric pushups are good choices.
  4. Low Impact: this is a low impact exercise

Burpee Box Jump Movement Standards:

  1. Jump onto the box with both feet
  2. Must jump from a static position (no forward momentum)
  3. After landing on the box, you must extend your hips
  4. You must step down from the box (no jumping down)
  5. Bring your chest to the floor for the burpee
  6. Jump or step your feet to your hand position.
  7. Jump on top of the box from a static position.

Note: Male box jump height is 24 inches, and female height is 20 inches.

Scaling Suggestions:

  1. Easier: use a shorter box to make the box jump easier.
  2. Easier: jump onto a bumper plate for newer athletes.
  3. Easier: substitute and up-down (e.g. a no pushup-burpee) for the burpee
  4. Easier: step up onto the box instead of jumping onto the box
  5. Harder: few athletes will need to scale up the pushup on this workout, but jump over burpees is a more challenging scaling.
  6. Low Impact: step up and step down.  Perform a walk-out instead of the burpee.
