Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Strength (9/10): Overhead squats at 205/125 lbs are exceptionally heavy, especially for 8 reps after 64 pull-ups. This is a major test of overhead strength, core stability, and leg strength.
  • Flexibility (8/10): Requires elite-level mobility for very heavy OHS (shoulders, thoracic spine, hips, ankles) to be performed safely and efficiently. Full range for pull-ups.
  • Stamina (7/10): Performing 64 pull-ups will significantly tax pulling and grip stamina. Transitioning to 8 very heavy OHS tests the ability to stabilize and lift a maximal load when upper body and grip are pre-fatigued.
  • Power (7/10): Driving up from very heavy OHS requires immense power. Kipping pull-ups also utilize power. The WOD tests the ability to generate maximal power for OHS after significant pulling volume.
  • Endurance (6/10): For time: 64 pull-ups then 8 very heavy overhead squats (205/125 lb). This is a potent couplet testing high-volume pulling endurance followed immediately by a test of maximal overhead strength and stability.
  • Speed (5/10): Efficient cycling of pull-ups is important. For OHS, technique, stability, and successful lifts are more critical than raw speed due to the extreme load. Minimizing misses on OHS is key.
