Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (9/10): Extremely high muscular endurance demand for quads, glutes, and core to maintain posture and lunge form with a front rack load for an extended distance.
- Endurance (7/10): Sustained effort over 400m of lunges creates significant metabolic demand, primarily localized but taxing overall.
- Flexibility (5/10): Requires good hip flexor mobility for deep lunges and adequate wrist, shoulder, and thoracic mobility for the front rack position.
- Strength (4/10): The 45/35lb load is light, but maintaining front rack stability and controlling the lunge under extreme fatigue requires good relative strength and core stability.
- Speed (3/10): Pacing and consistent movement are key rather than maximal speed of individual lunges. Transition speed is not a factor.
- Power (2/10): Primarily a test of endurance and stamina; minimal explosive power required per lunge compared to other movements.
Modality Profile
A shorter, more intense version of the 10k Row, but still purely a test of monostructural capacity.
