Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (10/10): Twenty rounds for time, each consisting of a 200m run, 5 pull-ups, 10 push-ups, and 5 thrusters, with the thruster weight increasing every 5 rounds (95lb, 105lb, 115lb, 135lb). This is an extreme test of endurance, with 4km total running and 400 total reps of calisthenics/lifting, compounded by increasing load.
  • Stamina (9/10): Massive volume: 4km run, 100 pull-ups, 200 push-ups, 100 thrusters (weights increasing). This will exhaust pulling, pushing, and leg/shoulder stamina (thrusters) to an incredible degree, especially as thruster load increases.
  • Strength (6/10): Thruster weight progresses from light (95lb) to moderate-heavy (135lb). Pull-ups and push-ups test relative strength endurance. The challenge is maintaining strength endurance as fatigue and load increase over 20 rounds.
  • Power (5/10): Thrusters are an explosive movement. Kipping pull-ups also utilize power. Maintaining power output as load increases and fatigue accumulates over 20 rounds is very challenging.
  • Speed (4/10): Pacing is absolutely critical for survival and completion. Efficient movement and transitions are key, but this is not about raw speed per round due to the extreme volume and increasing load.
  • Flexibility (3/10): Requires good front rack, squat, and overhead mobility for thrusters at all loads. Full range for pull-ups/push-ups. Basic running mobility.
