Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Stamina (8/10): Totaling 55 heavy dumbbell squats and 55 bar-facing burpees, this will severely tax leg stamina and full-body muscular endurance, especially as rep sets increase.
Endurance (7/10): An ascending ladder (1-10 reps) of dumbbell squats (2x50/35 lb) and bar-facing burpees, performed for time before 18.2A (max clean) within a 12-min total cap. This part is a significant test of leg endurance and cardiovascular capacity, building in intensity.
Strength (6/10): Dumbbell squats with 2x50/35 lbs are a heavy load for this volume, testing leg strength endurance significantly. Burpees are bodyweight.
Power (6/10): Driving up from heavy DB squats and the explosive jump in bar-facing burpees are power components. Maintaining power output as rep schemes increase is challenging.
Speed (6/10): Fast cycling of both movements and minimal transition time are critical. Ability to maintain speed in larger sets is key to finishing quickly and having more time for 18.2A.
Flexibility (3/10): Requires full squat depth for DB squats and basic mobility for burpees.

Modality Profile
