Benchmark Times for Regionals 15.5

  • Elite: <7:30
  • Advanced: 8:01-9:01
  • Intermediate: 10:01-11:01
  • Beginner: >15:01

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (8/10): Totaling 50 strict HSPU and 100 cal row. This will severely tax strict pushing stamina and full-body rowing stamina. Maintaining HSPU quality for 25 reps per round is very challenging.
  • Strength (8/10): Strict HSPU require significant relative upper body pressing strength. The volume makes this a major test of strict strength endurance. Rowing involves leg drive strength endurance.
  • Endurance (7/10): Two rounds for time (12-min cap) of 25 strict handstand push-ups and a 50 calorie row. This couplet tests high-volume strict gymnastics strength endurance and rowing capacity, repeated twice.
  • Speed (5/10): Efficient cycling of strict HSPU (likely in sets) and maintaining a strong rowing pace are key. Managing fatigue in HSPU to not compromise the row is important.
  • Flexibility (4/10): Requires shoulder/wrist mobility for strict HSPU. Basic rowing mechanics.
  • Power (3/10): While rowing for calories involves power, the emphasis on strict HSPU reduces the overall power component. Focus is on controlled strength and sustained endurance.

Modality Profile

A couplet of a gymnastics movement (Pull-ups) and a monostructural movement (Row). A classic G/M test.
