Classic Triplet
As much as I tend to wax poetic about the virtues of Turkish Get Ups every time they sneak into our programming, I’ll spare you the soliloquy today. Instead, let’s take a moment to appreciate the beautiful simplicity of the Triplet WOD in the classic 21-15-9 rep scheme. Little gems like this one are a big part of why CrossFit earned a reputation as a sneaky-awful style of workout. The volume doesn’t sound so bad, and none of the movements are intimidating in-and-of themselves, but the alchemy of throwing them all together and aiming to move as fast as safely practicable can get an athlete’s heart pounding, challenge the grip and stamina, and generate training results more efficiently than just about anything that doesn’t come in a needle.
