Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (9/10): Five rounds for time of a 500m run, 15 heavy overhead squats (185/125 lb), and 15 bar-facing burpees. This is an exceptionally demanding WOD testing running endurance, strength under fatigue with a heavy OHS, and full-body conditioning with burpees.
  • Stamina (9/10): Cycling 500m runs, 15 heavy OHS, and 15 burpees for 5 rounds will severely tax cardiovascular stamina, leg/core/shoulder stamina for OHS, and full-body stamina for burpees.
  • Strength (8/10): Overhead squats at 185/125 lbs are a very heavy load for 15 reps per round, especially when combined with running and burpees. This is a major test of strength endurance and stability.
  • Flexibility (8/10): Requires elite-level mobility for heavy overhead squats (shoulders, thoracic spine, hips, ankles) to be performed safely and efficiently for 75 total reps under fatigue.
  • Power (6/10): Driving up from heavy OHS requires significant power. Bar-facing burpees are explosive. Maintaining power output through 5 rounds of such demanding work is critical.
  • Speed (5/10): Maintaining a strong running pace and cycling efficiently and safely through heavy OHS and burpees is key. Pacing for 5 very tough rounds is crucial.
