Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (7/10): The pyramid rep scheme (3-7-11-14-11-7-3) for deadlifts, box jumps, and rowing creates a significant metabolic challenge, testing cardiovascular endurance and pacing.
- Stamina (7/10): Muscular stamina for heavy deadlifts, repetitive box jumps, and rowing is tested, especially as reps accumulate towards the middle of the pyramid.
- Strength (7/10): Deadlifts at 225/135 lbs are a heavy load, making this a strength-biased WOD, particularly for the posterior chain.
- Power (6/10): Deadlifts (when performed explosively), box jumps, and powerful rowing strokes all contribute to the power demand.
- Speed (5/10): Efficiently cycling through reps and managing transitions is important, especially during the higher-rep rounds.
- Flexibility (3/10): Requires good hamstring flexibility for deadlifts and hip flexion for box jumps and rowing.
