Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Stamina (8/10): Cycling 21 heavy deadlifts, 15 pull-ups, and 9 heavy front squats for 3 rounds will significantly tax posterior chain/grip stamina (DLs), pulling/grip stamina (Pull-Ups), and leg/core stamina (FS).
Strength (8/10): Deadlifts and Front Squats at 185/135 lbs are heavy loads for this rep scheme and format. Pull-ups test relative pulling strength. This WOD is very strength-dominant.
Endurance (7/10): Hero WOD (Triplet). 3 rounds combining heavy deadlifts (185/135lb), pull-ups, and heavy front squats (185/135lb) in a sprint format. This creates a potent anaerobic challenge, testing strength endurance and recovery between heavy efforts.
Power (6/10): Deadlifts and front squats, if performed with speed, are power movements. Kipping pull-ups also utilize power. Maintaining power output with heavy loads is key.
Speed (6/10): This is a sprint-style Hero WOD. Fast cycling of heavy lifts and pull-ups with minimal rest and quick transitions is crucial for a good time.
Flexibility (4/10): Requires good hamstring/hip mobility for deadlifts and excellent front rack/squat mobility for heavy front squats. Full range for pull-ups.
