Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (7/10): A workout combining burpees (50 total) and power cleans (25 reps @ 135/95lb), interrupted by mandatory 7 wall balls EMOM. The constant interruption and mixed stimuli create a significant conditioning challenge under interference.
- Stamina (7/10): Performing 50 burpees and 25 moderate-heavy power cleans, while also doing 7 wall balls every minute, tests full-body stamina (burpees), lifting stamina (cleans), and conditioning stamina (wall balls) under continuous pressure.
- Power (7/10): Power cleans and wall balls are explosive movements. Burpees also have a power component. The EMOM structure forces repeated power bursts for wall balls.
- Speed (6/10): Efficiently completing 7 wall balls within the minute to maximize time for burpees and power cleans is key. Fast cycling of burpees and cleans is important for overall time.
- Strength (5/10): Power cleans at 135/95 lbs are a moderate load that tests strength endurance. Wall balls (20/14lb) have a light-moderate strength component. The main challenge is managing these under EMOM pressure.
- Flexibility (4/10): Requires mobility for power cleans (catch position) and wall balls (squat/overhead). Basic burpee mobility.
