CrossFit 'DEAD‑BY' row
CrossFit's March 25 'DEAD‑BY' WOD challenged athletes with a 10‑minute escalating calorie row starting at 10/7 reps and adding one rep per minute until failure or the cap. (crossfitmtjuliet.com) The format is a brutal test of aerobic capacity and pacing under pressure — perfect for a cardio‑focused training day. (crossfitmtjuliet.com)
CrossFit Mt. Juliet published the March 25 workout on its website on March 24, 2026 at 9:00 p.m. local time. (crossfitmtjuliet.com) The gym lists its location as Mt. Juliet, TN 37122 and a contact number of 615‑763‑3481 on its homepage. (crossfitmtjuliet.com) The "Death by"/"Dead‑by" workout format is a coach‑created template that increases prescribed work each minute until an athlete can no longer complete the requirement, a structure documented in CrossFit programming guides and WOD libraries. (wodwell.com) WODwell catalogs multiple "Dead‑by" variants that apply the same escalating format to rowing calories, burpees, thrusters and other movements and provides video demos and example scores for those templates. (wodwell.com) Concept2 erg monitors calculate displayed "calories" from mechanical power using a formula based on a 175‑lb standard and an added baseline term, meaning the PM's calorie readout is an estimate that users should weight‑adjust for accurate energy expenditure. (concept2.nl) Because the erg's calorie number is derived from watts and pace rather than a direct metabolic measurement, athletes who produce higher short‑term power will reach machine‑counted calorie targets faster; Concept2 offers watts‑to‑pace and calorie calculators to help plan pacing for minute‑by‑minute intervals. (concept2.com) CrossFit scaling and conversion resources advise substituting or reducing cardio targets for less‑experienced athletes or masters to preserve the workout stimulus while managing intensity, and WOD libraries include conversion charts and scaling examples affiliates commonly use.
