DEKA HAMMER 26.5: The Kettlebell Clash You Didn’t Know You Needed
You walk into class. The energy is buzzing. Today’s WOD? DEKA HAMMER 26.5. A powerhouse sequence built to challenge your strength, coordination, and grit (without ever calling it that).
Here’s the rundown:
- Dual KB Press – Double the kettlebells, double the demand. Shoulder fire incoming.
- Kettlebell Sit-Up – Core activation with weight—because your abs deserve better than crunches.
- RAM Burpee – Yes, we added a RAM. No, we’re not sorry.
- Medicine Ball Sit-Up – Control on the down, drive on the up. Your midsection will thank you tomorrow.
- KB Overhead Lunge – Balance, posture, focus. And maybe a bit of wobble.
- Kettlebell High Pull – Posterior chain’s time to shine. Pull tall and strong.
- RAM Good Morning – Hinge, load, and feel that hamstring stretch hit just right.
- Box Jump or Step-Up – Explosive or steady, just get on that box.
Whether you’re loading heavy or scaling smart, this WOD offers a fierce mix of muscle endurance, explosive power, and conditioning. It’s the kind of challenge that pushes your limits—but doesn’t care where those limits start. We’ve got modifications for every movement and coaching that meets you right where you are.
Training from home?
Swap dual KB press for dumbbell or even resistance band presses. Med ball sit-ups can be done with any weighted object. For the RAM moves, use a sandbag or backpack. You don’t need a full gym to move like an athlete.
Coach’s Tip:
Form first. This isn’t a race to wreck your body—it’s a focused grind to build strength that sticks. Breathe through each rep, especially the overhead lunge. That movement can fall apart fast without control.
Looking for something that’ll challenge your strength and your stamina—all in a high-energy group setting? You just found it. This is DEKA. This is what we do.
