Epic, high volume and for time. Chippers are known as the longer workouts, quite often brutal with their numbers of exercises and reps. These popular MetCons are usually composed of 5-10 movements, following each other and testing our ability to pace the conditioning correctly, and stay focused during those 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 three 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?

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)
