Hyrox San Diego

STATION 5: THE ROW 🚣

Most athletes lose time here because they row like it’s a 1K PR instead of a race station.

The goal is control, not chaos.

Here’s how we coach it, aligned with current HYROX rules + race pacing:

✔ Stay on the machine until your judge confirms your metres
No jumping off early.

✔ Handle stays under control
No throwing or dropping the handle.

✔ Set your damper BEFORE you start
Mid-row adjustments waste time and break rhythm.

✔ 65–75% effort wins races
You’re setting up the next run — not chasing a leaderboard split.

✔ Long, smooth strokes beat panic rowing
Legs → hinge → pull → recover.

✔ Relax your grip + shoulders
Death-gripping burns energy you need for the next 1K.

✔ Don’t sprint the final 200m
Most athletes destroy the run by emptying the tank here.

✔ Doubles: decide your strategy BEFORE race day
Clear roles = smoother transitions.

The best HYROX rowers make it look calm.
That’s usually why they run well after it.

RUNNING HYROX — STATION 4: BURPEE BROAD JUMP 🤸

This station destroys athletes who chase distance instead of rhythm.

Here’s how we coach it, aligned with current HYROX standards:

✔ Smooth reps beat heroic reps
Big jumps early = redline later.

✔ Hands stay close
Long sprawled burpees waste energy and slow transitions.

✔ Chest actually touches the floor
No half reps. No hovering.

✔ Jump through the hips
Good extension = more distance with less effort.

✔ Land balanced and move immediately
The best athletes never fully stop moving.

✔ Breathe every rep
Panic breathing turns this station into survival mode.

✔ Think “cruise pace,” not sprint pace
The goal is staying efficient all 80m.

Most athletes lose time here because they fight the movement instead of flowing through it.

STATION 3: SLED PULL 🎯

Most athletes waste energy fighting the rope instead of using positioning and rhythm.

A few simple rules:

✅ Lean back and use bodyweight
✅ Stay planted and stable
✅ Hand-over-hand rhythm > panic pulls
✅ Walk hands, then feet
✅ Relax the grip when possible

Smooth athletes move the sled faster than aggressive athletes.

STATION 2: SLED PUSH 🛷

This is where most athletes burn matches they never get back.

A few simple rules:

✅ Short fast steps
✅ Stay low and stacked
✅ Smooth pressure > violent surges
✅ Breathe during the push
✅ Finish ready to RUN

The athletes who stay controlled here usually move up the leaderboard later in the race.

STATION 1: SKI ❄️

Most athletes lose time here because they go out too hot.

A few simple rules:

✅ Smooth rhythm > max power
✅ Relax the shoulders
✅ Use hips + lats, not just arms
✅ Control breathing early
✅ Finish ready to RUN

The SkiErg should feel controlled, not like a sprint.
