Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (8/10): Five rounds, each with a 400m run and 15 overhead squats (95/65 lb). The repeated runs create a strong cardiovascular stimulus, combined with the challenge of stabilizing a moderate load overhead.
  • Flexibility (8/10): Overhead squats are a significant test of mobility for the shoulders, thoracic spine, hips, and ankles. Maintaining this mobility under fatigue is key.
  • Stamina (6/10): Cycling 15 overhead squats for 5 rounds (75 total reps) tests muscular endurance in the shoulders, core (for stability), and legs, especially when performed after running.
  • Speed (6/10): Maintaining a strong running pace and transitioning quickly to perform overhead squats with good form and consistent speed is crucial for a good time.
  • Strength (4/10): Overhead squats at 95/65 lbs are a moderate load, focusing more on stability, balance, and endurance than maximal strength. However, good relative strength is needed for control.
  • Power (3/10): Driving up from the bottom of the overhead squat has a power component, but the WOD is more focused on endurance and skilled movement.
