Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (9/10): A very long chipper with ascending reps (10 to 100) across 10 movements (Muscle-Ups, HSPU, OHS, Pull-Ups, Thrusters, Box Jumps, Push Presses, Push-Ups, Deadlifts, Air Squats), sandwiched between 400m runs. This is an extreme test of endurance and broad fitness capacity.
  • Stamina (9/10): Massive volume across a wide array of gymnastics and light-to-moderate barbell movements (all at 45/35 lb for OHS, Thrusters, Push Presses, Deadlifts). This will exhaust muscular stamina comprehensively as reps climb to 100 for squats.
  • Flexibility (5/10): Requires mobility for Muscle-Ups, HSPU, OHS, Pull-Ups, Thrusters, Push Presses, and Deadlifts, even at light loads, to maintain good form over many reps.
  • Strength (4/10): Barbell loads are very light (45/35 lb), focusing on endurance. Muscle-Ups, HSPU, and Pull-Ups test relative strength endurance, which becomes very challenging at high volume (e.g., 40 Pull-Ups).
  • Power (4/10): Some movements have power components (MUs, Thrusters, Push Presses, Box Jumps), but the light load and extreme volume shift the emphasis to endurance and consistent cycling.
  • Speed (3/10): Pacing is absolutely critical. This WOD is about sustained effort, managing fatigue across many modalities and ascending reps over a very long duration. Efficient transitions are key, but overall endurance reigns supreme.

Modality Profile

A long chipper with a monostructural component (Run), multiple gymnastics movements (Muscle-Ups, Handstand Push-Ups, Pull-Ups, Push-Ups, Air Squats), and multiple weightlifting movements (Overhead Squats, Thrusters, Push Presses, Deadlifts). Gymnastics dominant.
