Benchmark Times for Light Linda

  • Elite: <56:15
  • Advanced: 56:15-48:45
  • Intermediate: 48:45-40:00
  • Beginner: >40:00

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (8/10): High total volume of deadlifts (BW), bench presses (3/4 BW), and squat cleans (1/2 BW) will severely test muscular endurance in the posterior chain, pushing muscles, legs, and grip.
  • Strength (8/10): Performing lifts relative to bodyweight (DL at BW, Bench at 0.75xBW, Clean at 0.5xBW) for high cumulative reps is a significant test of relative strength and strength endurance.
  • Endurance (6/10): The 24-3 descending rep scheme of three major lifts (Deadlifts, Bench Presses, Squat Cleans) at bodyweight-relative loads is metabolically taxing, testing strength-biased conditioning.
  • Power (6/10): Squat cleans are a primary power movement. Deadlifts and bench presses, if cycled with speed, also contribute to power output. Maintaining power across the descending ladder is challenging.
  • Speed (5/10): Efficiently cycling through reps for all three lifts and minimizing rest is key for a good time, but managing strength fatigue is paramount.
  • Flexibility (4/10): Requires mobility for deadlifts, bench press (scapular retraction), and squat cleans (front rack, full squat depth).

Modality Profile

A pure weightlifting workout, a lighter, higher-rep version of 'Linda'.
