Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Power (8/10): Muscle-ups and hang power cleans are primary power movements. Maintaining power output through 3 rounds of demanding work is key.
- Stamina (7/10): Cycling 7 muscle-ups and 10 hang power cleans (135lb) for 3 rounds, plus 150 air squats, tests upper body (MU), lifting (HPC - grip, back, legs), and leg (squats) stamina.
- Strength (7/10): Muscle-ups require significant relative upper body strength. Hang power cleans at 135/95 lbs are a moderate-heavy load that tests strength endurance.
- Endurance (6/10): Three rounds of 50 air squats, 7 muscle-ups, and 10 hang power cleans (135/95 lb). This triplet creates a potent metabolic stimulus, testing skill, power, and conditioning.
- Speed (6/10): Efficient cycling of all three movements with minimal rest is important for a good time, but managing fatigue on the muscle-ups and cleans is crucial.
- Flexibility (5/10): Excellent shoulder/wrist mobility for muscle-ups. Mobility for hang power cleans (catch position). Full squat depth.
