Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (10/10): Five rounds of a massive chipper involving 10 Muscle-Ups, 50 Box Jumps, 20 Rope Climbs (10/9ft), 50 Walking Lunges, 30 Burpees, 50 Double-Unders, 20 Knees-to-Elbows, 50 Air Squats, and 10 Handstand Push-Ups. This is an extreme test of endurance across an incredible volume and variety of high-skill gymnastics and conditioning movements.
  • Stamina (10/10): Monumental volume across numerous demanding movements will exhaust every aspect of muscular stamina: upper body pulling/pushing (MUs, RCs, HSPU, KTE), legs (Box Jumps, Lunges, Squats), full-body (Burpees), and skill/coordination (DUs). This is a test of pure attrition over 5 rounds.
  • Strength (7/10): Muscle-Ups, Rope Climbs, and Handstand Push-Ups require significant relative strength. The sheer volume of other bodyweight movements also becomes a strength endurance test.
  • Flexibility (6/10): Requires mobility for Muscle-Ups, Rope Climbs (hip/shoulder), Box Jumps, Lunges, KTE (hamstring/shoulder), Squats, and HSPU (shoulder/wrist).
  • Power (5/10): Some movements have power components (MUs, Box Jumps, Burpees, DUs), but the overwhelming factor is the ability to sustain any output over such extreme volume, varied skills, and duration across 5 full rounds.
  • Speed (2/10): This WOD is about survival, relentless forward progress through a staggering amount of work, and managing transitions. Pacing for completion is paramount, not speed per element.
