Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Speed (8/10): This is an all-out sprint. Fast cycling of both movements, likely in large unbroken sets for top athletes, with minimal transition time is critical for finishing within the cap.
- Stamina (7/10): Performing 104 wall balls and 52 pull-ups in under 6 minutes will severely tax leg/shoulder stamina (wall balls) and pulling/grip stamina (pull-ups). Maintaining large sets is key.
- Endurance (6/10): For time (6-min cap): 104 wall ball shots (20/14lb) and 52 pull-ups. This is a high-volume couplet sprint testing muscular endurance and work capacity against a very tight time cap.
- Power (6/10): Wall balls (squat and throw) and kipping pull-ups are explosive movements. The WOD tests sustained power-endurance at high intensity.
- Strength (3/10): Wall balls are a light-moderate load. Pull-ups test relative pulling strength endurance. The challenge is volume and speed, not maximal load.
- Flexibility (3/10): Requires full squat depth for wall balls. Full range for pull-ups.
Modality Profile
A couplet of a hybrid monostructural/weightlifting movement (Wall Balls) and a pure gymnastics movement (Pull-Ups). The overall stimulus is a test of metabolic capacity and gymnastics endurance.
