Endurance | 8/10 | Seven rounds for time of a high-volume dumbbell chipper: 10 Man Makers, 20 DB Deadlifts, 30 Single-Arm DB Snatches, 40 Single-Arm Overhead Lunges, 50 DB Swings (athlete chooses DB weight). This is a very demanding test of dumbbell-specific endurance and strength endurance. |
Stamina | 9/10 | Massive volume of varied dumbbell movements will exhaust grip, shoulder, back, leg, and core stamina. Man Makers are particularly taxing. Repeating for 7 rounds is a huge challenge. |
Strength | 7/10 | The athlete chooses the dumbbell weight, but to be challenging, it implies a moderate-to-heavy load for movements like Man Makers, Deadlifts, Snatches, OH Lunges, and Swings, testing strength endurance extensively. |
Flexibility | 4/10 | Requires mobility for Man Makers (push-up, row, clean, press), Deadlifts, Snatches (overhead), Overhead Lunges (stability), and Swings (hip hinge). |
Power | 6/10 | Man Makers (especially the clean/press), DB Snatches, and DB Swings are explosive movements. Maintaining power output through 7 rounds of high-volume dumbbell work is key. |
Speed | 4/10 | Efficient cycling of all dumbbell movements and managing transitions is important. Pacing to survive 7 rounds with a challenging DB weight is paramount. |
