  • Beginner: >67:31

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (10/10): An extremely long and complex chipper involving five couplets, each with descending reps, separated by 400m runs. Movements include Air Squats/Push-Ups, DB Snatches (L/R), Box Jumps/Pull-Ups, DB Burpee Clean Thrusters/Ring Dips, HSPU/Pistols. This is an ultimate test of endurance across a vast range of movements, volumes, and time domains.
  • Stamina (10/10): Massive volume across numerous movements: squats, push-ups, DB snatches, box jumps, pull-ups, complex DB burpee movements, ring dips, HSPU, pistols. This will exhaust muscular stamina in every conceivable way over an extended period.
  • Strength (6/10): DB Snatches (50/35lb) and the DB Burpee Clean Thrusters (50/35lb) are moderately heavy given the volume. Ring Dips, HSPU, and Pistols require significant relative strength. The sheer volume makes even bodyweight movements a strength endurance test.
  • Flexibility (6/10): Requires mobility for a wide range of movements including squats, DB snatches (overhead), pull-ups, ring dips, HSPU (shoulder/wrist), pistols (hip/ankle), and the complex DB burpee movement.
  • Power (5/10): Some movements have power components (DB snatches, box jumps, burpee complex), but the overwhelming factor is the ability to sustain any output over such extreme volume, varied skills, and duration, all punctuated by runs.
  • Speed (3/10): This WOD is about survival, relentless forward progress, and managing transitions between many parts, not speed. Pacing and mental toughness are paramount.
