June's Monthly Challenge: 
THE CLUTCH CONDITIONING TEST


THE CLUTCH CONDITIONING TEST

EVERY 1:00 x 12:00 45 seconds max Burpees Over Bar 15 seconds rest

Scored by total reps across all 12 rounds. Burpees are lateral and not bar-facing.

MENTAL TOUGHNESS. PACING. CCCF GRIT

This month is all about building mental toughness, pacing, and staying composed under fatigue. The goal is to help athletes learn how to breathe, move efficiently, and maintain a sustainable pace — not sprint and crash. It's about finding the highest sustainable pace and holding it for all 12 minutes.

Baseline Test: June 1st - 7th

Final: June 22nd - 28th


THE RULES

SCORING Total reps across all 12 rounds.

MOVEMENT Burpees are lateral, not bar‑facing.

*Rx athletes must jump over the bar; Scale athletes may step over the bar.

*Thighs and chest must touch the ground for all athletes.

TRACKING Log each round’s reps — not a running total. This helps you see pacing and drop‑off clearly.

BARBELL SET-UP

Any barbell may be used for the challenge, but you must use regular-size bumper plates and not the 2.5 or 5 lb change plates.

WINDOW Baseline test the week of June 1st

Final test the week of June 22nd

THE GOAL

Success looks like:

  • Consistent pacing across all 12 rounds

  • Smooth, non‑stop movement

  • Minimal drop‑off late in the EMOM

  • Finishing strong in the final two rounds

PROGRAMMING

Throughout June, CCCF will include:

  • One optional weekly conditioning piece to support the challenge

  • Additional burpee exposure in regular class programming

SCORING + WINNERS

We will crown 2 total winners:

  • 1 RX Winner

  • 1 Scaled Winner

Winners will be determined by a combination of:

  1. Highest Total Burpees Across All 12 Rounds

  2. Most Consistent Pacing (smallest drop‑off from Round 1 to Round 12)

This rewards both output and discipline, not just sprinting early and fading late — fully aligned with the challenge’s focus on pacing and mental toughness.

JUDGING & VERIFICATION

To keep the challenge fair and consistent for everyone, all scores must be verified in one of the following ways:

If You’re Doing the Test at Home or Another Gym

You must record your entire test. Your video needs to clearly show:

  • Your full body performing the burpees

  • The barbell and plates (so weight and setup are visible)

  • A visible timer for all 12 minutes

Make sure the angle allows reps to be counted without question.

If You’re Doing the Test at Clutch City

Please grab:

  • A coach, or

  • A fellow member

They will help judge your movement standards and count your reps for all 12 rounds.

This ensures everyone is held to the same standard and keeps the competition fair for both RX and Scaled divisions.
