Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (9/10): A very long, symmetrical chipper with 800m runs sandwiching numerous movements (Box Jumps, OHS, Thrusters, HSPU, Muscle-Ups) interspersed with sets of 10 pull-ups throughout the middle sections. This is an extreme test of endurance across a vast range of modalities and volumes.
  • Stamina (9/10): Massive volume across many movements: 100 Box Jumps, 80 OHS (95lb), 60 Thrusters (95lb), 40 HSPU, 20 Muscle-Ups, and 100+ Pull-Ups (embedded within). This will exhaust muscular stamina comprehensively, compounded by the runs.
  • Strength (6/10): OHS and Thrusters at 95/65 lbs are moderate loads that become very challenging with volume. Muscle-Ups, HSPU, and Pull-Ups test significant relative strength endurance. The challenge comes from volume and fatigue.
  • Flexibility (6/10): Requires mobility for OHS, Thrusters (front rack, squat, overhead), HSPU (shoulder/wrist), Muscle-Ups (shoulder/wrist), and Pull-Ups. Basic running/jumping mobility.
  • Power (6/10): Many movements have power components (Box Jumps, Thrusters, MUs, kipping Pull-Ups/HSPU), but the sheer volume and length shift the emphasis to endurance and consistent cycling.
  • Speed (3/10): This WOD is about relentless forward progress and managing fatigue across many modalities and a symmetrical structure. 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.
