Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (8/10): Cycling 10 right-arm and 10 left-arm DB hang split snatches (40/30 lb) plus 2 rope climbs for 7 rounds (total 140 snatches, 14 rope climbs) demands substantial unilateral strength-stamina (shoulders, legs, core for snatches) and extreme upper body pulling/grip stamina for rope climbs.
  • Endurance (7/10): Seven rounds of unilateral dumbbell hang split snatches and rope climbs. This combination will be metabolically demanding, testing skill-biased conditioning and grip endurance over a moderate duration.
  • Strength (7/10): Rope climbs require significant upper body pulling strength. Dumbbell hang split snatches at 40/30 lbs, performed unilaterally for high volume, test functional strength, stability, and coordination.
  • Flexibility (6/10): Requires good shoulder, hip, and ankle mobility for dumbbell hang split snatches (overhead position, lunge). Hip/shoulder mobility for rope climbs.
  • Power (6/10): Dumbbell snatches are an explosive movement. Explosive pulls on rope climbs also utilize power. Maintaining power output across 7 rounds of skill and unilateral work is key.
  • Speed (4/10): Efficient cycling of snatches on both arms and quick, successful rope climbs are important. Managing fatigue on grip and unilateral movements is more critical than raw 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.
