Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (10/10): Massive volume (mostly 50 reps per KB exercise, plus carries and holds) across numerous diverse kettlebell movements will exhaust grip, shoulder, back, leg, and core stamina to an incredible degree. The final plank hold is a pure stamina test when already depleted.
  • Endurance (9/10): An extremely long chipper involving a huge variety of kettlebell movements (TGUs, SDHP, Cleans, Jerks, Waiter Walk, Figure 8s, Swings, Deadlifts, Broad Jumps, Sit-Ups, Snatches) with a 16/12kg KB, interspersed with KB carries, and finishing with a max KB plank hold. This is an ultimate test of kettlebell-specific endurance and mental fortitude.
  • Strength (6/10): While the KB weight (16/12kg or ~35/26lb) is light to moderate, the sheer volume and variety of movements, including TGUs and carries, make this a significant test of functional strength endurance.
  • Flexibility (5/10): Requires mobility for a wide range of KB movements: TGUs (full body), SDHP, Cleans, Jerks (overhead), Swings (hip hinge), Deadlifts, Goblet Squats, Snatches (overhead).
  • Power (5/10): Many KB movements are explosive (Cleans, Jerks, Swings, Snatches), but the light load and extreme volume shift the emphasis to endurance and consistent cycling over a very long time.
  • Speed (3/10): This WOD is about relentless forward progress, managing transitions between many KB exercises and carries, and pacing for survival. Finishing is a monumental achievement.
