Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Stamina (8/10): A direct and very challenging test of strict upper body pushing stamina (shoulders, triceps, chest). No kip means muscles do all the work for every rep.

Strength (7/10): Requires very high relative upper body pressing strength. Each strict rep is a significant strength effort. Max reps tests the endurance of this pure strength.

Flexibility (4/10): Good shoulder and wrist flexibility is important for achieving a full range of motion and maintaining a stable position against the wall for strict reps.

Endurance (2/10): Minimal cardiovascular demand. Pure test of localized muscular endurance in pressing muscles without momentum.

Speed (2/10): Controlled, full-range reps are key. Speed is not the primary factor; completing legitimate strict reps is the goal.

Power (1/10): Strict movement by definition minimizes power contribution from kipping. Focus is on raw pressing strength and endurance.
