How Tyler works
Tyler 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.
Tyler 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 Tyler 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 8:00 | up to 8:50 |
| Advanced | up to 11:00 | up to 12:05 |
| Intermediate | up to 15:00 | up to 16:30 |
| Beginner | up to 20:00 | up to 22:00 |
| Novice | over 20:00 | over 22:00 |
Tips for Tyler
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 Tyler
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:
- Ring Muscle-up: Muscle-up transition with feet on the floor; Banded muscle-up
- Sumo Deadlift High Pull: Kettlebell Sumo Deadlift High Pull; Sumo Deadlift without the high pull
