AMRAP in 30 minutes From 0:00-8:00 1 mile Run Max Deadlifts (315/205 lb) From 8:00-18:00 1 mile Run Max Power Cleans (225/155 lb) From 18:00-30:00 1 mile Run Max Overhead Squats (135/95 lb)

Why This Workout Is Very Hard

Hero WOD (AMRAP). 3 sections (8/10/12 mins): 1-mile run + max reps heavy DL (315lb) / heavy PC (225lb) / moderate OHS (135lb). Extreme endurance/strength test.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (9/10): A 30-minute AMRAP divided into three sections, each starting with a 1-mile run followed by max reps of a heavy lift (Deadlifts 315lb, Power Cleans 225lb, Overhead Squats 135lb). This is an extreme test of endurance under heavy load and strength capacity when fatigued.
  • Stamina (9/10): Performing max reps of very heavy deadlifts, heavy power cleans, and moderate overhead squats after a 1-mile run in each respective time window will severely tax posterior chain, full-body lifting, and shoulder/core stabilizing stamina.
  • Strength (9/10): Deadlifts at 315/205 lbs and power cleans at 225/155 lbs are very heavy loads. Overhead squats at 135/95 lbs are moderate-heavy, especially after running and other heavy lifts. This WOD is a significant test of strength and strength endurance under extreme fatigue.
  • Power (7/10): Power cleans are a primary power movement. Deadlifts, even heavy, require immense power. OHS can be dynamic. The challenge is generating power after a mile run and for max reps.
  • Flexibility (6/10): Requires good mobility for heavy deadlifts, power cleans (catch position), and overhead squats (shoulders, hips, ankles). Maintaining this under fatigue is crucial.
  • Speed (4/10): Pacing the 1-mile runs to allow for maximal effort on the subsequent lifts is key. Efficient lifting technique is more important than raw cycling speed for the max rep portions.

Modality Profile

A couplet of a weightlifting movement (Thruster) and a gymnastics movement (Burpee). The stimulus is evenly split between G and W.
