Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (8/10): Six rounds, each including a 400m run, combined with air squats, heavy power cleans, and strict pull-ups, creates a substantial test of cardiovascular fitness and work capacity under load.
- Stamina (7/10): Cycling 19 power cleans (135/95 lb) and 7 strict pull-ups per round for 6 rounds tests strength-stamina and pulling endurance, especially when fatigued from running and squats.
- Strength (7/10): Power cleans at 135/95 lbs are a moderate-heavy load. Strict pull-ups require good relative pulling strength. The volume amplifies the strength demand.
- Power (7/10): Power cleans are an explosive movement. Maintaining power output across 6 rounds is tested.
- Speed (6/10): Maintaining a strong running pace and efficiently cycling through the lifts and gymnastics is key for a good time.
- Flexibility (3/10): Requires mobility for power cleans (hip hinge, catch position) and basic range of motion for squats and pull-ups.
