Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (7/10): Ten rounds for time (15-min cap) of 8 ground-to-overheads (95/65 lb) and 10 bar-facing burpees. This couplet tests cardiovascular endurance and the ability to maintain a consistent pace across many rounds of light lifting and calisthenics.
- Stamina (7/10): Totaling 80 GTOH and 100 bar-facing burpees, this WOD will test light lifting stamina (full body for GTOH) and full-body muscular endurance for burpees. Maintaining output for 10 rounds is demanding.
- Speed (7/10): This WOD demands fast cycling of both movements and minimal transition time. The ability to maintain a high pace throughout 10 rounds is key for a good score.
- Power (6/10): Ground-to-overheads (whether clean & jerk or snatch) are explosive movements. Bar-facing burpees also have an explosive jump component. The WOD tests sustained power-endurance.
- Strength (3/10): Ground-to-overheads at 95/65 lbs are a light load, focusing on cycling efficiency and endurance rather than maximal strength. Burpees are bodyweight.
- Flexibility (3/10): Requires mobility for GTOH (hip hinge, overhead position). Basic mobility for burpees.
Modality Profile
A couplet of a weightlifting movement (Ground-to-Overhead) and a gymnastics movement (Burpee). The stimulus is evenly split between G and W.
