Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (8/10): Cycling 19 reps each of KB GTOH, KB Front Squats, and KB Push-Ups (each hand on KB) with a 53/35 lb kettlebell for 4 rounds tests full-body muscular endurance, grip stamina, shoulder stability, and core strength. The 'no drop' rule adds to the stamina demand.
  • Endurance (7/10): Four rounds of a kettlebell complex (GTOH, Front Squats, KB Push-Ups) with an optional 400m KB run. The complex itself is demanding, and the run (if included) significantly boosts the cardiovascular challenge.
  • Strength (6/10): Kettlebell movements at 53/35 lbs are moderately heavy, especially for GTOH and front squats. KB push-ups add an unstable pushing strength challenge. The optional loaded run tests carrying strength.
  • Power (6/10): KB Ground-to-Overheads are an explosive movement. Maintaining power through the complex, especially if the run is included, is key.
  • Flexibility (4/10): Requires mobility for GTOH (overhead), front squats (rack position, squat depth), and KB push-ups (wrist/shoulder stability).
  • Speed (4/10): Efficient transitions between KB movements and maintaining a good pace on the optional run are important. Adhering to the 'no drop' rule often prioritizes control over speed.

Modality Profile

A couplet of a monostructural movement (Run) and a gymnastics movement (Burpee). The structure ensures an even split between the two modalities.
