Workout Description

Immediately following 18.2: 1 rep max Clean (Performed within 12 min total cap with 18.2)

Why This Workout Is Hard

Establish a 1-rep max clean in the time remaining after completing 18.2. Tests maximal strength under fatigue.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Power (10/10): The clean is a quintessential Olympic lift demanding peak power output. This tests the ability to generate that power under extreme fatigue.
  • Strength (9/10): This is a direct test of maximal strength in the clean, made exceptionally challenging by the preceding high-volume, heavy WOD (18.2). Score is the heaviest successful lift.
  • Flexibility (6/10): Excellent mobility is required for an efficient clean at maximal loads (full squat clean, front rack position).
  • Speed (6/10): Bar speed and speed under the bar for the clean are critical for successful maximal attempts, especially when highly fatigued.
  • Stamina (3/10): Requires strength-stamina to execute maximal lifts after significant prior exertion from 18.2 (heavy DB squats and burpees). Focus is on single explosive efforts.
  • Endurance (2/10): Performed in the time remaining of a 12-min cap after 18.2. Cardiovascular demand is low for this part, but pre-fatigue from 18.2 is very high.

Modality Profile

A pure weightlifting test, a 1-rep-max clean.
