Endurance | 8/10 | Five rounds for time of the 'DT' complex (12 Deadlifts, 9 Hang Power Cleans, 6 Push Jerks) with progressively increasing weight each round (135lb up to 225lb). This is an extremely demanding test of strength endurance and barbell cycling under increasingly heavy load, creating significant metabolic stress. |
Stamina | 9/10 | Cycling through 27 barbell movements per round, for 5 rounds, with weight increasing to very heavy (225/155 lb in final round) will severely tax full-body strength-stamina, particularly grip, back, legs, and shoulders. |
Strength | 9/10 | The weight progresses to very heavy (225/155 lbs for the final round of DT). This WOD is a significant test of strength endurance and the ability to maintain technique and cycle a barbell under heavy load and accumulating fatigue. |
Flexibility | 4/10 | Requires mobility for deadlifts, hang power cleans (front rack), and push jerks (overhead) at all loads, becoming more critical as weight increases. |
Power | 8/10 | Hang power cleans and push jerks are primary power movements. Deadlifts, if cycled with intent, also contribute. Maintaining power output as load increases significantly each round is critical. |
Speed | 4/10 | Efficient cycling of the barbell complex is key. Speed will naturally decrease as load increases. Managing transitions and minimizing rest while handling increasingly heavy weights safely is paramount. |
