Workout Description
AMRAP in 20 minutes
400 meter Run
Max Rep Pull-Ups
Why This Workout Is Medium
Girl WOD (AMRAP). 20 mins: run, max pull-ups. Tests pulling endurance/conditioning.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (8/10): The score is total pull-ups, so this WOD heavily taxes upper body pulling muscular endurance and grip stamina. The runs serve as active recovery but also contribute to overall fatigue affecting pull-up capacity.
- Endurance (7/10): A 20-minute AMRAP consisting of a 400m run followed by max rep pull-ups in the remaining time of each round. This tests cardiovascular fitness from the run and the ability to repeatedly perform pull-ups under fatigue.
- Speed (5/10): Maintaining a strong running pace to maximize time for pull-ups, and then efficiently cycling pull-ups, is key for a good score.
- Strength (4/10): Pull-ups test relative bodyweight pulling strength. The ability to do many reps indicates good strength endurance in this pattern.
- Power (3/10): Kipping pull-ups have a power component, but the WOD is more focused on sustained pulling endurance and running pace.
- Flexibility (2/10): Requires basic mobility for running and full range of motion for pull-ups.
Modality Profile
A classic benchmark couplet of a monostructural movement (Run) and a gymnastics movement (Pull-up). The stimulus is evenly split between G and M.
