This “Hotel Hell“ WOD lives up to it’s name. Credit to Jason Khalipa and Chris Spealler for popularizing it. See their original video: - SUBSCRIBE: While on the road we had access to a hotel gym with a dumbbell rack, some treadmills, and some strength machines. We looked up “Dumbbell WODs on WODwell ( - one of the most popular ones from 2013 is called “HOTEL HELL.“ “HOTEL HELL“ For Time 100 Dumbbell Hang Clean Thrusters (Clusters) (2x35/25 lb) 5 Burpees to start, and at the top of each minute Start with 5 burpees. Then complete as many hang squat clean thrusters (aka: “hang clusters”) as possible until the minute is up. Repeat until 100 total are completed. If athlete does not finish score is number of rounds and reps completed. We picked a target time of 14 minutes and calculated that we’d have to do 7 clusters per round, plus two 8-rep rounds to get sub-14. It ended up taking us 40-45 seconds per round, leaving 15-20 seconds of rest each round. Around half way through (50 clusters) it started getting pretty spicy! Following the same rep scheme and staying in-sync the whole time, we finished in 13:44 (Lisa) and 13:46 (Jeremy). Lisa and Jeremy are 36 and 42-year-old “masters“ athletes (115 lb and 205 lb) who have been CrossFitting since 2011 and 2013, and work out mostly in their home garage these days.
