Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (9/10): One hundred reps of a 4-part complex (400 total major movements) with a 105/70 lb barbell will severely tax full-body muscular endurance, particularly grip, legs, shoulders, and core stability through the lunges and presses.
- Endurance (7/10): Performing 100 reps of the 'Curtis P' complex (Power Clean + Lunge L + Lunge R + Push Press) at 105/70 lbs for time is a significant test of strength-biased conditioning and mental fortitude. This will be very metabolically taxing.
- Strength (7/10): The barbell load (105/70 lb) is moderate, but performing 100 full complexes makes this a very significant test of strength endurance across cleans, lunges, and presses.
- Power (6/10): The power clean and push press components are explosive. Maintaining power output for 100 full complexes is a major challenge.
- Flexibility (4/10): Requires mobility for power cleans (catch position), lunges (hip flexors, balance), and push presses (overhead).
- Speed (4/10): Efficiently cycling through each component of the Curtis P complex and minimizing rest is key for a good time, but managing fatigue and maintaining form with the barbell is paramount.
