Intermediate: 51:16-45:01
Beginner: >45:01

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Endurance (9/10): A long chipper involving two 1000m rows, two 800m runs, and high-volume gymnastics (50 Ring Dips, 100 Pull-Ups) and 150 Jumping Ball Slams. This is an extreme test of cardiovascular and muscular endurance over an extended duration.
Stamina (9/10): Massive volume: 2km row, 1.6km run, 50 Ring Dips, 100 Pull-Ups, 150 Jumping Ball Slams. This will exhaust full-body stamina (rowing, running), pushing stamina (Dips), pulling/grip stamina (Pull-Ups), and full-body explosive stamina (Ball Slams).
Strength (5/10): Ring Dips and Pull-Ups require significant relative upper body strength, especially at this volume. Ball slams have a minor strength component. The primary challenge is endurance.
Power (5/10): Jumping Ball Slams are an explosive movement. Rowing and running for pace involve power. Kipping gymnastics utilize power. Maintaining power through such a long chipper is challenging.
Speed (4/10): Pacing is absolutely critical for this very long and high-volume chipper. Efficient transitions and consistent movement are far more important than maximal speed on any single element.
Flexibility (3/10): Requires shoulder mobility for ring dips and pull-ups. Hip hinge/thoracic rotation for ball slams. Basic rowing/running mobility.
