How Klepto works
Klepto is done for time: all rounds and reps as fast as possible, in the order given. Your score is the time to your last rep.
Klepto is one of the Hero WODs. Hero workouts carry the names of soldiers, police officers and first responders who died in the line of duty. They're long, heavy and demand grit. Many boxes do them together on memorial days.
What's a good Klepto time?
The standards apply to Rx, meaning with the prescribed weights and no scaling. They're a rough reference, not statistics across all athletes. For women, times are set about 10% longer and rounds about 10% lower.
| Level | Men | Women |
|---|---|---|
| Elite | up to 15:00 | up to 16:30 |
| Advanced | up to 18:00 | up to 19:50 |
| Intermediate | up to 22:00 | up to 24:10 |
| Beginner | up to 27:00 | up to 29:40 |
| Novice | over 27:00 | over 29:40 |
Tips for Klepto
Find a pace you can hold and break the reps into fixed sets before you get tired. Transitions between movements often cost more time than the movements themselves.
How to scale Klepto
If part of it is still too hard, scale it so the workout keeps its pace and intended stimulus. Log it as "Scaled". Possible options:
- Box Jump: Lower box; Box Step-up
- Burpee: No jump at the top; Step your feet back and forward one at a time
- Clean: Power Clean plus Front Squat; Hang Squat Clean
