Endurance | 9/10 | Five rounds, each with 100 total weighted box step-ups (45/35 lb barbell) and a total of 25 moderate-heavy Olympic lifts (15 cleans, 10 snatches at 135/95 lb). This is an extremely demanding test of loaded cardiovascular endurance and strength endurance. |
Stamina | 10/10 | Massive volume: 500 total weighted box step-ups, 75 cleans (135lb), and 50 snatches (135lb). This will exhaust leg, core, shoulder, back, and grip stamina to an incredible degree. |
Strength | 8/10 | Cleans and snatches at 135/95 lbs are moderate-heavy loads for this volume. Weighted box step-ups with a 45/35 lb barbell are a significant strength endurance challenge for the legs and core. This WOD has a very strong strength component throughout. |
Flexibility | 5/10 | Requires mobility for cleans and snatches (squat depth, overhead position, front rack) and hip flexion for step-ups under load. |
Power | 7/10 | Cleans and snatches are primary power movements. Maintaining power output through 5 rounds of such high-volume lifting and loaded stepping is critical. |
Speed | 3/10 | Pacing is absolutely crucial for survival and completion. Efficient movement on lifts and step-ups is key, but this is not about raw speed due to the extreme volume and load over 5 rounds. |
