Which workout features 21-15-9 reps of Deadlift at 225 pounds and Handstand Push-Ups?

• A. Fran
• B. Annie
• C. Nancy
• D. Diane

Answer: (D)

Knowledge of CrossFit benchmark workouts and their exact movements and loads is tested here. The sequence of 21-15-9 with deadlifts at 225 pounds and handstand push-ups is Diane. This pairing specifically identifies Diane, because those two movements with that load and rep scheme are defining for it. Fran uses thrusters and pull-ups, Annie uses sit-ups and double-unders, and Nancy uses a run with overhead squats, so none of those match the described combination. Therefore, the workout described is Diane.
