Camille Leblanc-Bazinet’s Workout of the Week
Today’s workout is programmed by OG CrossFit Games athlete, Camille Leblanc-Bazinet. In 2010, the 21-year-old Quebec native earned her first trip to the CrossFit Games, which kicked off a ten-year career that included five Regional Championships, ten consecutive Games appearances (nine individual and one team), four top-ten finishes, and a championship title in 2014.
During her tenure as a professional CrossFitter, Leblanc-Bazinet wore the iconic red shirt on HQ Seminar Staff from 2012-2019 and became a CrossFit Level-3 trainer, all while earning her Chemical Engineering degree from the University of Sherbrooke. She married Dave Lipson, a fellow CrossFitter and “Red Shirt,” in 2013 and has gone on to start her own fitness and nutrition business, coach thousands of athletes, write four books (and endless programs), and—her greatest accomplishment of all—became a mother to her daughter Zoe in 2020.
Today’s workout is from Camille’s hand-written training program, Feroce Fitness.

Note: We intentionally don’t prescribe weights in Feroce Fitness. For affiliates, a suggested “RX” level weight would be 115/85, or 135/95 for RX+.
Scaling Options:
- Complete a shortened version of the workout – EMOM 15 (5 Rounds)
- Hang Squat Snatch – perform 3 complexes of hang snatch + overhead squat.
- Burpees-over-Bar – step over the bar or perform regular burpees
- S2OH – use dumbbells.
- Toes-to-Bar – perform toes-to-eyes, toes-to-hips, hanging knee raises, V-ups, or Lying toes-to-rig
Some Advice from Camille: “This is a very challenging workout. Choose a load that allows you to do all repetitions unbroken and log your score as the weight used. If needed, reduce the repetitions as you go so you have about 10-15 seconds between the minute to transition. Keep your back arched all the way through the weightlifting movements and move smoothly through all the repetitions. Enjoy!”
