Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (9/10): 150 total heavy KB swings (70/53 lb), 150 burpees, and 150 GHD sit-ups will severely test posterior chain, grip, full-body, and core muscular endurance.
- Endurance (8/10): Five rounds of high-volume heavy kettlebell swings, burpees, and GHD sit-ups create an extreme metabolic and cardiovascular challenge.
- Strength (7/10): Kettlebell swings at 2/1.5 pood are very heavy for high reps. GHD sit-ups also require significant core strength endurance.
- Power (7/10): Heavy kettlebell swings are a primary power movement. Burpees also have an explosive component. Maintaining power output across such high volume is a major test.
- Flexibility (4/10): Requires good hip hinge mobility for KB swings and GHD sit-ups, and basic mobility for burpees.
- Speed (4/10): Pacing is crucial for this very demanding WOD. While efficient movement is important, it's more about sustained effort and managing fatigue than outright speed on any single element.
