Each round you’re trying for as many OHS as possible before the 3-minute mark, after completing a 500-m row. Adjust the distance of the row if you can’t finish that portion in under 2 minutes.
Post number of reps completed each round to comments.
Ingredients
2 chicken breasts (about 6 oz each), cut in half lengthwise (for 4 pieces)
2 jalapeños, halved, seeds removed

Preparation
Set oven to 400°F (200°C) or preheat grill to medium-high.
Prep the filling: Mix cream cheese with shredded cheese (if using). Stuff each jalapeño half with the cheese mixture.
Assemble the bombs: Flatten each chicken piece slightly. Season both sides with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Place a stuffed jalapeño half inside each chicken piece and roll it up tightly. Wrap each with 1 slice of bacon and secure with toothpicks.
Cook:
- Oven: Place bombs on a baking rack over a sheet pan. Bake 25–30 minutes, then broil for 2–3 minutes to crisp the bacon.
- Grill: Grill over indirect heat, turning occasionally, for about 25 minutes or until internal temp hits 165°F and bacon is crispy.
- Air Fryer: Cook at 375°F for 15–18 minutes, flipping halfway.
Serve: Let rest for 5 minutes. Remove toothpicks before serving.
