Workout Description

Why This Workout Is Very Hard

For the average CrossFit athlete, Semifinals 22.27: CrossFit Copa Sur: Chipper 22 is Very Hard because Deadlift at up to 198 lb and Wall Ball meet a roughly 12:00 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. Only experienced athletes are likely to preserve every Rx standard.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

• Stamina (8/10): The repeated work around Deadlift at up to 198 lb and Wall Ball scores 0.8 for stamina; athletes must preserve local muscular output as sets, rounds, and transitions accumulate fatigue.
• Speed (7/10): The 12:00 scoring window and 4 movements score 0.7 for speed; success rewards high-skill or heavily loaded cycling, decisive transitions, and appropriately aggressive pacing.
• Strength (5/10): External loading and force demands score 0.5 for strength. The prescription reaches about 198 lb before sex-specific scaling. Force production must remain technically sound as the workout's other demands accumulate.
• Power (3/10): Deadlift at up to 198 lb and Wall Ball drive a 0.3 power score through controlled force rather than maximal explosiveness.
• Endurance (2/10): Semifinals 22.27: CrossFit Copa Sur: Chipper 22 scores 0.2 for endurance because its 12:00 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

• Wall Ball
• Chest-to-Bar Pull-Up
• Double-Under
• Deadlift

Scaling Options

Reduce Deadlift to a load that permits crisp small sets without failed reps. Replace Double-Under with single-unders at roughly twice the reps.

Scaling Explanation

Choose options that keep the athlete working in the moderate-duration domain and capable of meaningful progress inside the 12:00 cap. Preserve the primary challenge of Deadlift at up to 198 lb and Wall Ball, not the exact Rx load or skill at the expense of intensity.

Intended Stimulus

Semifinals 22.27: CrossFit Copa Sur: Chipper 22 is intended as a moderate-duration test centered on Deadlift at up to 198 lb and 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 Deadlift at up to 198 lb and Wall Ball before technique or cadence collapses. Keep transitions deliberate and short; save the final acceleration for the last round or station.

Benchmark Notes

Many average athletes will meet the 12:00 cap, so lower levels grade reps completed and every finisher ranks above a capped score. L5 is anchored around 230 reps; the fastest finisher target is 6:13, with Deadlift at up to 198 lb and Wall Ball as the primary limiters.

Modality Profile

Counting each unique movement once, G includes Chest-to-Bar Pull-Up and Double-Under; W includes Wall Ball and Deadlift. That produces G 50%, M 0%, and W 50%.
