1 Rope Climb (15 ft)
Why This Workout Is Hard
Hero WOD (AMRAP). 25 minutes combining HSPU, high box jumps (30in), and rope climbs. Tests gymnastics skill and endurance.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (8/10): High volume of HSPU (pushing stamina), rope climbs (pulling/grip stamina), and box jumps (leg stamina) over a long duration will be very taxing.
- Endurance (7/10): A 25-minute AMRAP of continuous gymnastics and plyometrics will create a significant cardiovascular demand and test sustained effort.
- Strength (7/10): Handstand push-ups and rope climbs require significant relative upper body strength. High box jumps also require good leg strength to avoid failure.
- Power (6/10): Box jumps are a primary plyometric power movement. Rope climbs can involve powerful pulls, and kipping HSPU utilize hip drive.
- Speed (5/10): Efficient cycling of movements and quick transitions are key for maximizing rounds in this AMRAP, though managing fatigue over 25 minutes is paramount.
- Flexibility (4/10): Requires shoulder mobility for HSPU and rope climbs, hip flexion for box jumps.
Modality Profile
A couplet of a weightlifting movement (HSPU on parallettes is G, but with DBs it's W) and a gymnastics movement (Rope Climb). Let's call DB HSPU a W movement. So, 50% G, 50% W.
