Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Stamina (7/10): Performing 210 push-ups and 210 sit-ups in the Blackjack format (20/1, 19/2...1/20) will significantly tax pushing muscular endurance (chest, shoulders, triceps) and core/hip flexor muscular endurance.
Speed (6/10): Fast cycling of both push-ups and sit-ups with minimal rest and quick transitions between the changing rep counts is crucial for a good 'For Time' score.
Endurance (5/10): A high-volume bodyweight couplet with a descending/ascending rep scheme for push-ups (210 total) and sit-ups (210 total). Tests muscular endurance over a moderate duration.
Strength (2/10): Primarily a bodyweight endurance test. Relative strength is important for efficiently completing high-rep push-ups.
Flexibility (2/10): Requires basic mobility for push-ups and sit-ups.
