Workout Description
AMRAP in 45 minutes
800 meter Run
80 Air Squats
8 Muscle-Ups
Why This Workout Is Hard
Hero WOD (AMRAP). 45 mins: run, high-vol squats, muscle-ups. Tests long-duration endurance/skill.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (8/10): A 45-minute AMRAP combining 800m runs with high-volume air squats and muscle-ups is a significant test of long-duration cardiovascular and muscular endurance.
- Stamina (8/10): Performing 80 air squats and 8 muscle-ups per round for 45 minutes will severely tax leg endurance and high-skill gymnastics stamina (pulling, pushing, grip).
- Strength (5/10): Muscle-ups require significant relative upper body strength. Air squats, while bodyweight, become a strength endurance challenge at such high volume over time.
- Flexibility (4/10): Requires good shoulder and wrist mobility for muscle-ups and full squat depth.
- Power (4/10): Muscle-ups are an explosive movement. Maintaining power for muscle-ups deep into a 45-minute WOD is challenging.
- Speed (4/10): Maintaining a consistent running pace and efficiently cycling through squats and muscle-ups is key. Pacing over maximal speed is crucial for this long AMRAP.
Modality Profile
A long AMRAP with a monostructural component (Run) and two gymnastics components (Air Squats, Muscle-Ups). G/M dominant.
