FAQs

How does Mayhem 30 Hard work?

This challenge is based on the honor system. We are pushing your mental limits for 30 days and asking that you honestly complete every single day as it is written.

What happens if you miss a day?

In the original 75 Hard Challenge (which this challenge is based on), if you miss an item on any day, you would have to start the entire challenge over with Day 1. For the sake of this challenge, we are asking that you try your best to complete every single day as it’s written for the entire 30 days. However, if you miss a day, we understand. Just comment on what part you missed and how you’re going to ensure that you don’t miss that part tomorrow.

We do two 30-minute workouts a day?

Yes. We recommend that one of these workouts is from Mayhem Programming (M30, M60, Bodybuilding, etc.) and that the other is an outdoor physical activity such as going for a walk/jog/run, playing a sport, playing with your kids, yoga, etc. Another Mayhem Workout works too. Just remember that at least one of your workouts needs to be outside.

What diet should I do?

You choose the diet you want to stick with for 30 days. It could be tracking macros, logging your food, Intermittent Fasting, Paleo, Whole 30, etc. Pick something that you feel you can stick with for 30 days. If the listed options all sound too overwhelming, you can choose a habit-based diet approach by setting up a few habits for your personalized diet that you need to adhere to. For example, “no snacks after dinner”. Habits are a great way to diet in a way that can be customized to work best for you and allow you to be successful.

Another great option, if you’re unsure where to start, is to log your food in the app “My Fitness Pal” for 30 days. This is a great way to start to understand if you’re eating too much or too little and to see patterns in how you can improve your diet in the future.

What if I want to do 75 Hard?

If you wish to take it a step further and use this opportunity to begin 75 Hard, we recommend reading further into 75 Hard so that you can ensure you are following their standards. Mayhem 30 Hard is an altered version of this challenge. You can read about the full challenge here .

“Death by” – Line Facing Burpees

(Start with 5 reps and add 1 rep every minute until failure)

Score = Total Reps

Athletes Notes

SCORING

Your score will be TOTAL number of burpees you completed. Comment in your results notes what # you failed.

For example: I failed on round of 12 burpees. Got through rep 8 out of 12. My total reps would be 5+6+7+8+9+10+11+8 = 64

Workout Strategy and Flow

If this is your first time completing the “Death by” style workout, then this might feel a bit easy in the beginning…… I promise it’s about to get tough.

We are completing these today as Line Facing Burpees . So you do not have to stand up all the way, you just need to get up off the ground and take off with two feet over the line!

FLOW

0:00 – 1:00: 5 Line Facing Burpees, rest the remainder of time

1:00 – 2:00: 6 Line Facing Burpees, rest the remainder of time

2:00 – 3:00: 7 Line Facing Burpees, rest the remainder of time

3:00 – 4:00: 8 Line Facing Burpees, rest the remainder of time………

You will continues for as long as possible until you can no longer complete the number of reps prescribed in under 1 minute.

STRATEGY

In the early rounds (rounds with the 5, 6, and 7 reps) maintain a slightly slower and steady pace. Control the breathing. A fast pace right out of the gate is unnecessary and could lead to an inability to control the heart rate as reps build each minute.

This is going to test:

How mentally tough you are

How well you can pace
