Chelsea

Q: What is the workout Chelsea?

Chelsea is emom 30 min: Every minute on the minute for 30 minutes: 5 Pull-ups 10 Push-ups 15 Air squats

Q: What is a good Chelsea time?

30 min · score = rounds is a typical finishing range for Chelsea. Chelsea is a race against the minute hand: five pull-ups, ten push-ups, and fifteen squats at the top of every minute for thirty minutes. The early rounds feel almost too easy, which is the trap: bank a few seconds of rest each minute so you can survive when the reps start bleeding into the next round. Falling off the pace is the real test.

Same three movements every minute for half an hour: can you stay on the clock?

Stimulus & strategy

Chelsea is a race against the minute hand: five pull-ups, ten push-ups, and fifteen squats at the top of every minute for thirty minutes. The early rounds feel almost too easy, which is the trap: bank a few seconds of rest each minute so you can survive when the reps start bleeding into the next round. Falling off the pace is the real test.

Standards

· Begin the work at the top of each minute; rest is whatever time remains
· Score is the number of full rounds completed on time (max 30)
· Pull-up: chin over bar, full extension; Push-up: chest to floor, full lockout; Air squat: hip crease below knee
· If you fail to finish a round within its minute, continue or stop per your standard

Scaling

· Band-assisted pull-ups and knee push-ups to hold the interval
· Cut to 3 pull-ups / 8 push-ups / 12 squats per minute
· Cap at 20 minutes to keep every round clean

Coaching tips

· Move fast early and protect your rest: you'll need it after minute fifteen.
· Go unbroken on the pull-ups and push-ups while you still can.
· The moment a round eats into the next minute, that's your true score. Don't panic-chase it.
