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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
