Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (8/10): Cycling 7 muscle-ups, 14 thrusters (~88lb), and 21 GHD sit-ups for 3 rounds tests muscular endurance in upper body (MU), legs/shoulders (thrusters), and core/hip flexors (GHDs). Grip for MUs is also key.
- Endurance (7/10): Three rounds of muscle-ups, moderate thrusters (40/30 kg or ~88/66 lb), and GHD sit-ups. This triplet creates a potent metabolic stimulus, testing skill, lifting, and core capacity under cardiovascular stress.
- Strength (7/10): Muscle-ups require significant relative upper body strength. Thrusters at ~88/66 lbs are a moderate load. GHD sit-ups demand substantial core strength.
- Power (7/10): Muscle-ups and thrusters are primary power movements. Maintaining power output through 3 rounds of demanding work is key.
- Flexibility (6/10): Excellent shoulder/wrist mobility for muscle-ups. Good front rack, squat, and overhead mobility for thrusters. Spinal/hip flexor mobility for GHDs.
- Speed (5/10): Efficient cycling of all three movements with minimal rest is important for a good time, but managing fatigue on the MUs and GHDs is crucial.
