Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (9/10): Extreme volume: 300 burpees plus 30 reps each of 10 different DB movements (300 total DB reps). This will exhaust full-body stamina (burpees) and specific muscular stamina for each DB exercise (grip, shoulders, back, legs, core).
  • Endurance (8/10): A long, grueling chipper involving 10 sets of 30 burpees, each followed by 30 reps of a different dumbbell movement (Deadlifts, Cleans, Strict Presses, Push Presses, Push Jerks, Swings, SDHPs, Snatches L/R, Man Makers) using 50/35 lb dumbbells throughout. The 300 total burpees alone make this a massive endurance test.
  • Strength (6/10): Dumbbells at 50/35 lbs are a moderate-heavy load for many of these movements when performed for 30 reps, especially after 30 burpees. Man Makers are particularly strength-demanding. This tests strength endurance extensively.
  • Power (6/10): Many DB movements are explosive (Cleans, Presses/Jerks, Swings, Snatches, Man Makers). Burpees also have a power component. Maintaining power output through such extreme volume and variety is a major challenge.
  • Flexibility (4/10): Requires mobility for a wide range of DB movements: Deadlifts, Cleans, various Presses/Jerks (overhead), Swings, SDHPs, Snatches (overhead), and Man Makers. Basic burpee mobility.
  • Speed (3/10): This WOD is about relentless forward progress and managing fatigue across many sets of burpees and varied DB work. Pacing for survival and completion is paramount, not speed per element.

Modality Profile

A couplet of a monostructural movement (Run) and a gymnastics movement (Burpee). The structure ensures an even split between the two modalities.
