Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (7/10): Muscular stamina for cycling 75 total dumbbell split cleans (unilateral leg/core/shoulder stability) and 105 pull-ups (grip/pulling muscles) is significant.
- Endurance (6/10): Five rounds of dumbbell split cleans and pull-ups create a moderate metabolic demand, testing cardiovascular fitness in a couplet format.
- Power (6/10): Dumbbell split cleans are an explosive movement. Kipping pull-ups also utilize power.
- Speed (6/10): Fast cycling of both movements with minimal rest is key for a good time.
- Strength (5/10): Dumbbell split cleans with 40/30 lb dumbbells provide a moderate unilateral strength challenge. Pull-ups test relative pulling strength.
- Flexibility (4/10): Requires mobility for the split clean (lunge depth, catch position) and shoulder mobility for pull-ups.
Modality Profile
A couplet of a weightlifting movement (DB Split Clean) and a gymnastics movement (Pull-up). The stimulus is evenly split between G and W.
