Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (9/10): A very long team-of-3 chipper involving two 2000m rows, heavy DB thrusters, heavy KB swings, high-volume DUs and burpees, and heavy deadlifts. Even for a team, this is an extreme test of cardiovascular endurance and work capacity across many modalities.
  • Stamina (9/10): Massive shared volume: 4000m row, 14 heavy DB thrusters (2x50lb), 34 heavy KB swings (70lb), 484 DUs, 108 burpees, 18 heavy deadlifts (225lb). This will exhaust team stamina in rowing, lifting (shoulders, legs, posterior chain, grip), jumping, and full-body (burpees).
  • Strength (8/10): Dumbbell thrusters with 2x50/35 lbs and kettlebell swings at 70/53 lbs are heavy. Deadlifts at 225/155 lbs are also a significant load. This WOD has a strong strength component even when shared.
  • Power (7/10): DB thrusters, KB swings, and burpees are primary power movements. Rowing and deadlifts also have power components. Sustaining power output as a team through this long WOD is challenging.
  • Flexibility (4/10): Requires mobility for thrusters (front rack, squat, overhead), KB swings (hip hinge), deadlifts, and DUs (wrist/shoulder).
  • Speed (4/10): Efficient transitions between partners and movements are crucial. While loads/reps are demanding, cycling reps quickly when working contributes to a better overall time. Pacing as a team is key.
