Here's a breakdown of Workout 1 from a past Throwdown: a 9-minute AMRAP of wall walks and heavy deadlifts. We program workouts that are a true test of grit and strength.
Workout 2 was a test of pure strength: building to a heavy 1-rep-max barbell complex of a clean, two front squats, and a shoulder-to-overhead. This is where lifting technique under pressure is crucial.
A classic chipper for Workout 3, combining a 50-calorie row, toes-to-bar, dumbbell snatches, and overhead walking lunges. This workout tests an athlete's engine and muscular endurance.
Workout 4 combined the pain of the Assault Bike with the technical skill of rope climbs. This couplet is designed to push athletes' cardiovascular capacity and grip strength to the absolute limit.
The final workout for our individual competitors: a tough combination of bar-facing burpees, overhead squats, and high-skill gymnastics like bar muscle-ups. This is how we crown a champion.

About The Bengaluru Throwdown: Our Signature Competition
We do not just judge you on your 1-rep max; our workouts—like AMRAPs and chippers—are designed to test grit, technique, and capacity under fatigue. Whether it is a 9-minute wall walk and deadlift ladder or complex barbell cycles, you will see exactly where your training stands against the best in the city.
The Bengaluru Throwdown is the heartbeat of our gym. We bring athletes from across the country to Yemalur for two days of testing every facet of CrossFit. It is a competition designed to expose weaknesses and celebrate strengths in a high-pressure environment.
What You Can Expect
We program movements like barbell clean and jerks, wall walks, toes-to-bar, and assault bike intervals to push you to your limit. It is a true test of your 'engine' (aerobic capacity) and your 'skill' (gymnastics). We force you to maintain technique on snatches while breathless, proving that you have more than just raw power.
The Vibe
It is loud and intense. You will hear the crowd cheering for personal records, feel the pressure of the time caps, and see how your training holds up in a competitive arena. This is not about being the best in the world; it is about showing up, pushing harder than you thought possible, and seeing what you are truly capable of when the clock is ticking.
Who Is It For?
If you want to specialize, compete, or just find out what you are made of, this is for you. Whether you are eyeing your first podium or just want to feel the energy of a competition floor, come join us. It is for the competitor inside every one of us.
I Think CrossFit
We are just a bunch of fitness nerds who believe that the best way to test your progress is by doing the work together. The Throwdown is our way of celebrating that. We want to see you push harder than you thought possible.
