Why This Workout Is Very Hard

Combines gymnastics (Toes-to-Bars), cardio/skill (Double-Unders), and progressively heavy weightlifting (Squat Cleans) under increasing time pressure. Requires high capacity in all three modalities, especially significant strength for later rounds with very heavy weights. (Identical to 19.2)

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Strength (9/10): The squat clean ladder progresses to extremely heavy weights (up to 315/205 lbs). This is a significant test of maximal clean strength and strength endurance, especially after pre-fatigue from T2B and DUs.
  • Power (9/10): Squat cleans are a primary power movement. This WOD tests the ability to generate high power repeatedly with increasing loads while highly fatigued.
  • Endurance (8/10): An AMRAP with 4-minute extending windows (up to 20 mins) combining 25 toes-to-bars, 50 double-unders, and squat cleans with increasing weight (135, 185, 225, 275, 315 lbs). This tests endurance across gymnastics, skill, and progressively very heavy lifting, demanding high capacity in all three.
  • Stamina (8/10): Repeatedly performing T2B (core/grip stamina), DUs (calf/coordination stamina), and squat cleans at increasing loads tests the ability to maintain output and technique under severe fatigue.
  • Flexibility (6/10): Requires mobility for T2B (hamstrings, shoulders), DUs (wrist/shoulder), and squat cleans (front rack, full squat) at all loads.
  • Speed (5/10): Efficient cycling of T2B and DUs is important to reach the heavier cleans quickly. For cleans, technique and power are more critical than raw cycling speed as weight increases.

Modality Profile
