Why This Workout Is Hard
Girl WOD (Triplet AMRAP). 20 mins: HSPU, pistols, pull-ups. Tests high-skill gymnastics endurance.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (9/10): Cycling 5 handstand push-ups, 10 pistols, and 15 pull-ups for 20 minutes is an extreme test of upper body pushing stamina (HSPU), unilateral leg stamina (pistols), and upper body pulling/grip stamina (pull-ups).
- Flexibility (8/10): Excellent shoulder/wrist mobility for HSPU. Exceptional hip, knee, and ankle mobility for pistols. Full range of motion for pull-ups.
- Endurance (7/10): A 20-minute AMRAP of three challenging gymnastics movements (HSPU, Pistols, Pull-Ups) creates a significant metabolic demand, testing high-skill gymnastics endurance and cardiovascular fitness.
- Strength (7/10): Handstand push-ups and pistols require significant relative upper body and unilateral leg strength. Pull-ups test relative pulling strength endurance.
- Speed (5/10): Efficient cycling of all three high-skill movements and minimizing rest/transitions is key for maximizing rounds. Managing fatigue in each movement is crucial.
- Power (4/10): While these are primarily strength/skill movements, kipping elements can be utilized, but the emphasis is on controlled strength and stamina through many rounds.
