Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (10/10): Very high total volume of vested gymnastics: 27 muscle-ups, 45 burpee pull-ups, and 63 pull-ups. This will exhaust upper body pulling and pushing stamina, grip, and full-body (burpee component) stamina to an incredible degree, especially under load and fatigue from running.
  • Endurance (9/10): Three rounds, each with an 800m run, followed by a high-volume, high-skill gymnastics triplet (muscle-ups, burpee pull-ups, pull-ups), all while wearing a 20/14 lb weight vest. This is an extreme test of loaded cardiovascular endurance and advanced gymnastics capacity.
  • Strength (8/10): Muscle-ups require significant relative strength, made exceptionally harder by the vest. Burpee pull-ups and regular pull-ups with a vest are also major tests of loaded pulling strength. This WOD is very demanding on strength endurance under load.
  • Power (6/10): Muscle-ups and burpee pull-ups are explosive movements, amplified by the vest. Maintaining power output for high-skill gymnastics under extreme load and fatigue is critical.
  • Flexibility (5/10): Excellent shoulder and wrist mobility for muscle-ups. Basic mobility for pull-ups and burpees, potentially made more challenging by the vest.
  • Speed (4/10): Pacing the runs and managing the extremely demanding vested gymnastics safely and efficiently is paramount. This is not about raw speed but sustained high-level effort.

Modality Profile

A balanced triplet with a monostructural component (Run), a gymnastics component (Pull-ups, Knees-to-Elbows), and a weightlifting component (Kettlebell Swings).
