Workout Description

Why This Workout Is Extremely Hard

For the average CrossFit athlete, Pig Party is Extremely Hard because Pig Flip at up to 510 lb and GHD Wall Ball meet a roughly 11:00 work domain. The movements interfere through repeated grip, trunk, leg, or overhead fatigue, and there is little built-in recovery, so local fatigue compounds across movements. The Rx combination is realistically limited to elite athletes. The mixed score also requires coordinated team pacing.

• Beginner: >0:0.8

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

• Strength (8/10): External loading and force demands score 0.8 for strength. The prescription reaches about 510 lb before sex-specific scaling. Force production must remain technically sound as the workout's other demands accumulate.
• Speed (7/10): The 11:00 scoring window and 4 movements score 0.7 for speed; success rewards high-skill or heavily loaded cycling, decisive transitions, and appropriately aggressive pacing.
• Power (5/10): Pig Flip drive a 0.5 power score through repeated explosive extension and fast force production. Explosive intent must remain repeatable rather than deteriorating into slow, inefficient repetitions.
• Stamina (4/10): The repeated work around Pig Flip at up to 510 lb and GHD Wall Ball scores 0.4 for stamina; athletes must preserve local muscular output as sets, rounds, and transitions accumulate fatigue.
• Endurance (2/10): Pig Party scores 0.2 for endurance because its 11:00 domain creates cardiovascular demand through sustained output. Breathing supports repeatable work, but pure aerobic capacity is not the only limiter.
• Flexibility (1/10): The prescribed positions create a 0.1 flexibility demand: efficient range of motion matters, but mobility is supportive rather than the sole test.

Movements

• Bar Muscle-Up
• GHD Wall Ball
• Dumbbell Front Squat
• Pig Flip

Scaling Options

Reduce Pig Flip to a load that permits crisp small sets without failed reps. Replace Bar Muscle-Up with chest-to-bar pull-ups. Replace GHD Wall Ball with AbMat sit-ups at reduced volume.

Scaling Explanation

Choose options that keep the athlete working in the moderate-duration domain and capable of meaningful progress inside the 11:00 cap. Preserve the primary challenge of Pig Flip at up to 510 lb and GHD Wall Ball, not the exact Rx load or skill at the expense of intensity.

Intended Stimulus

Pig Party is intended as a moderate-duration test centered on Pig Flip at up to 510 lb and GHD Wall Ball. Athletes should sustain the fastest repeatable output that preserves the prescribed standards, letting breathing and local fatigue build without turning early aggression into failed reps or long stops.

Coach Insight

Start at a pace you can repeat through the middle of the workout, and break Pig Flip at up to 510 lb and GHD Wall Ball before technique or cadence collapses. Keep transitions deliberate and short; save the final acceleration for the last round or station. Agree on handoffs and shared-work standards before starting so transitions do not erase planned pacing.

Benchmark Notes

Many average athletes will meet the 11:00 cap, so lower levels grade rounds completed and every finisher ranks above a capped score. L5 is anchored around 3 rounds; the fastest finisher target is 4:37, with Pig Flip at up to 510 lb and GHD Wall Ball as the primary limiters.

Modality Profile

Counting each unique movement once, G includes Bar Muscle-Up; W includes GHD Wall Ball, Dumbbell Front Squat, and Pig Flip. That produces G 30%, M 0%, and W 70%.
