Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Strength (9/10): Back squats at 185/135 lbs are a heavy load for 11 reps per round. Jerks at 135/95 lbs are moderate-heavy. This WOD is a significant test of strength endurance.
Stamina (8/10): Performing 77 total heavy back squats (185/135 lb) and 70 moderate jerks (135/95 lb) demands significant leg, core, and shoulder/triceps stamina. Maintaining form under heavy load for many reps is key.
Endurance (6/10): Seven rounds of heavy back squats and moderate jerks will be metabolically demanding, testing strength-biased conditioning and the ability to recover between heavy lifting sets.
Power (6/10): Jerks are an explosive overhead movement. Driving up from heavy back squats also requires power. Maintaining power output through 7 rounds of heavy lifting is challenging.
Flexibility (4/10): Requires full squat depth for back squats and good shoulder/thoracic mobility for efficient jerks (rack position and overhead stability).
Speed (4/10): Efficient cycling of reps for both lifts is important, but managing the heavy loads and minimizing rest between sets without compromising form is paramount.
