Endurance | 8/10 | A 21-15-9 chipper combining elements of 'Fran' (Thrusters/Pull-Ups), 'Elizabeth' (Squat Cleans/Ring Dips), and 'Diane' (Deadlifts/HSPU), all at 135/95 lbs for barbell movements. This is an extremely demanding test of strength-biased conditioning across many movements. |
Stamina | 9/10 | Cycling 45 reps each of thrusters, pull-ups, squat cleans, ring dips, deadlifts, and HSPU (all lifts at 135lb) will severely tax full-body muscular stamina – lifting, pulling, pushing, core, and grip. |
Strength | 8/10 | All barbell movements (Thrusters, Squat Cleans, Deadlifts) are at a challenging 135/95 lbs for this volume. Ring dips and HSPU require significant relative upper body strength. This WOD has a very strong strength component throughout. |
Flexibility | 6/10 | Requires mobility for thrusters (front rack, squat, overhead), squat cleans (front rack, squat), deadlifts, pull-ups, ring dips (shoulder extension), and HSPU (shoulder/wrist). |
Power | 8/10 | Thrusters and squat cleans are primary power movements. Kipping gymnastics (pull-ups, dips, HSPU) also utilize power. Maintaining power across different loads and skills is tested. |
Speed | 5/10 | Efficient transitions between movements and fast cycling of reps within each couplet are crucial for a good time in this demanding chipper, but managing the load and skill fatigue is paramount. |
