About Christine

Christine is one of the "Girls" benchmark workouts. Each round pairs a 500 m row with a bodyweight deadlift and a short set of box jumps, so the whole workout leans on the posterior chain and the legs.

The deadlift load scales with the athlete, which keeps it fair across body sizes. With only 12 reps per round, strong athletes go unbroken and the row decides the result.

Tips for Christine

  • Row the first 500 m at a controlled pace. Coming off the rower gasping makes the deadlifts sloppy.
  • Keep the deadlifts unbroken if the load allows, or split them 6 and 6 with a short breath at the top.
  • Step down from the box rather than rebounding. It saves your calves and keeps your heart rate steadier.

Christine questions

What is the Christine workout?

Christine is 3 rounds for time of a 500 m row, 12 deadlifts at bodyweight and 21 box jumps onto a 20 in (50 cm) box.

What is a good Christine time?

Under 13 minutes at Rx is a strong time and under 10 minutes is elite. A first attempt often takes 18 minutes or more.

How do I scale Christine?

Lighten the deadlift, for example to 0.75 times bodyweight, and use step-ups instead of box jumps. A beginner version shortens the row to 400 m and the reps to 9 and 15.
