  • Advanced: 15:01-17:31
  • Intermediate: 20:01-22:31
  • Beginner: >28:45

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (9/10): Massive volume: 150 total squats (50 each of BS, FS, OHS), 120 pull-ups, 90 S2OH. This will exhaust leg, core, pulling/grip, and shoulder/pushing stamina to an extreme degree, especially managing the transitions and decreasing (but still significant) loads.
  • Endurance (8/10): A high-volume chipper for time involving three rounds of decreasing weight squats (Back 135lb, Front 85lb, OHS 65lb - for women: BS 95, FS 65, OHS 45), each paired with 40 pull-ups and 30 shoulder-to-overheads at the same weight. Tests strength endurance, gymnastics endurance, and stamina across many reps.
  • Flexibility (6/10): Requires mobility for back squats, front squats (rack), OHS (overhead stability), pull-ups, and S2OH (overhead). Maintaining good form through high volume is key.
  • Strength (5/10): Barbell loads are light to moderate, focusing on strength endurance and cycling efficiency over high volume rather than maximal strength. Pull-ups test relative pulling strength endurance.
  • Power (5/10): Shoulder-to-overheads are explosive. Kipping pull-ups utilize power. Squats can be dynamic. Maintaining power output through such high volume is challenging.
  • Speed (5/10): Efficient cycling of all movements and managing transitions between squat variations and their paired movements is crucial. Pacing to avoid burnout on any single element is important.

Modality Profile

A couplet of a gymnastics movement (Handstand Push-ups) and a weightlifting movement (Kettlebell Swings). A classic G/W test.
