Strategy & Tips

The Filthy 50 is a classic chipper testing work capacity across 10 different movements. Pace yourself - there's no rest between movements and a lot of work to do.

  • Box jumps - step down to save legs for lunges
  • Jumping pull-ups are easier - use them to recover
  • KB swings should be unbroken or close to it
  • Lunges will tax your legs - find a rhythm
  • K2E tend to slow people down - break into sets of 10
  • Push press is light - unbroken is the goal
  • Wall balls late in the workout are brutal - stay steady
  • Save something for the burpees
  • Double-unders at the end - don't let fatigue cause trips

Pacing

Consistent effort throughout. Don't sprint the early movements - the burpees and double-unders at the end will expose poor pacing.
