Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (8/10): One hundred reps of squat clean thrusters will severely tax leg, shoulder, back, and core muscular endurance, as well as grip stamina. Maintaining form and efficiency for 100 reps is a major challenge.
- Endurance (7/10): Performing 100 squat clean thrusters (40/20 kg or ~88/44 lb) for time is a significant test of barbell cycling endurance and cardiovascular fitness. This will be very metabolically taxing due to the full-body nature of the movement repeated many times.
- Power (7/10): The squat clean thruster is a highly explosive, full-body power movement. Maintaining power output for 100 reps is a key component of this WOD.
- Flexibility (6/10): Requires good mobility for the squat clean (full squat, front rack) and thruster (overhead position) to be performed efficiently for 100 reps.
- Speed (6/10): Efficiently cycling through each rep of the squat clean thruster with minimal wasted motion and strategic rest is crucial for a good time.
- Strength (5/10): The barbell load (~88/44 lb) is moderate, but performing 100 reps makes this a significant test of strength endurance rather than maximal strength.
