3 50-rep Chipper WODs that every Crossfitter Must Try

These popular MetCons are usually composed of 5-10 movements and test our ability to pace the conditioning correctly and stay focused during those punishing 20+ minutes of Chipper intensity.

We put together three workouts that have one thing in common: 50 reps.

Quick reminder for beginners: please consult with your coach, or other qualified fitness professional before attempting any brutal, hard or intense WODs.

1. Miagi

Miagi is a brutal chipper which was performed years ago at the Rogue Fitness headquarters by big-name athletes Mikko Salo, Dan Bailey, Graham Holmberg and others. Some people labelled it as one of the toughest WODs ever. Maybe those 50 clean and jerks with 60/43 kg in the middle of it have something to do with that?

Mikko’s time to beat: 29:47

For time:
50 deadlifts (61/43 kg)
50 double KB swings (2×24 /2*16 kg)
50 push-ups
50 clean and jerk (61/43 kg)
50 pull-ups
50 KB taters (24/16 kg)
50 box jumps (60/50 cm)
50 wall climbs
50 knees to elbows
50 double-unders

Filthy 50 is definitely one of the most famous ones. It’s a classic workout which usually welcomes beginners into the intense world of chippers. To put some variety into your plan, try doing the reverse version as well.
