Workout Description
AMRAP in 7 minutes
10 Power Snatches (75/55 lb)
3 Bar Muscle-Ups
Why This Workout Is Hard
A short 7-minute sprint coupling light power snatches with bar muscle-ups. Tests efficiency and high-skill gymnastics capacity under intensity.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Power (8/10): Power snatches and bar muscle-ups are both explosive movements. The WOD demands high turnover and sustained power output.
- Speed (8/10): This WOD is all about speed and efficiency. Fast cycling of both movements with minimal rest and quick transitions is critical for a high score.
- Stamina (7/10): Cycling light power snatches (grip, back, shoulder stamina) and bar muscle-ups (upper body pulling/pushing stamina, grip) for 7 minutes at high speed is demanding.
- Endurance (6/10): A short 7-minute AMRAP sprint coupling 10 light power snatches (75/55 lb) with 3 bar muscle-ups. This tests efficiency, high-skill gymnastics capacity, and cardiovascular output under intensity.
- Strength (5/10): Bar muscle-ups require significant relative upper body strength. Power snatches at 75/55 lbs are light, focusing on speed and cycling.
- Flexibility (5/10): Requires mobility for power snatches (overhead position) and excellent shoulder/wrist mobility for bar muscle-ups.
