Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (9/10): Extreme gymnastics stamina required for 75 total ring handstand push-ups and 75 L-pull-ups. Air squats (225 total) add significant leg endurance demand.
- Strength (9/10): Ring handstand push-ups and L-pull-ups are advanced movements requiring very high levels of relative upper body and core strength.
- Endurance (6/10): Three rounds of high-volume air squats combined with very high-skill gymnastics will be metabolically demanding, though gymnastics proficiency might be the primary limiter for many.
- Flexibility (6/10): Excellent shoulder mobility and wrist flexibility for ring HSPU. Good hip flexor strength/compression and hamstring flexibility for L-pull-ups. Full squat depth for air squats.
- Power (4/10): While these are primarily strength/skill movements, some power can be utilized in kipping elements if allowed/used, but the emphasis is on controlled strength.
- Speed (3/10): Pacing and managing fatigue in the high-skill gymnastics is more critical than raw speed. Transitions and consistent squatting speed contribute.
