Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Endurance (8/10): For time (10-min cap), an ascending/descending ladder (1-10-1 reps) of deadlifts (225/155 lb) and bar-facing burpees. This is a brutal test of strength endurance and cardiovascular capacity, demanding relentless pacing, especially through the middle high-rep rounds.
Stamina (8/10): Totaling 100 deadlifts (225lb) and 100 bar-facing burpees, this WOD will severely tax posterior chain/grip stamina for deadlifts and full-body muscular endurance for burpees. Maintaining output as fatigue mounts is critical.
Strength (7/10): Deadlifts at 225/155 lbs are a heavy load for this volume, making it a significant test of strength endurance. Burpees are bodyweight.
Speed (7/10): This WOD is a sprint against a tight cap, demanding fast cycling of both movements. The ability to maintain a high pace through the peak reps (round of 10) is key for a good score.
Power (6/10): Deadlifts, if performed with speed, and bar-facing burpees (explosive jump) are power components. The WOD tests sustained power-endurance through a grueling rep scheme.
Flexibility (3/10): Requires good hamstring/hip mobility for deadlifts. Basic mobility for burpees.

Modality Profile
