Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Power (9/10): All three movements are highly power-dominant: rowing for speed, explosive burpee box jump overs, and powerful bar muscle-ups. This WOD is a major test of generating power quickly across varied tasks.
- Speed (8/10): This is an all-out sprint. Maximal speed on the row, fast burpee box jump overs, and quick, efficient bar muscle-ups with no rest are critical to finish within the tight cap.
- Stamina (6/10): The row sprint, burpee box jump overs, and bar muscle-ups all demand high output, testing specific stamina for each in a rapid succession format.
- Strength (6/10): Bar muscle-ups require significant relative upper body strength. Burpee box jump overs test leg strength/power. Rowing involves leg drive.
- Endurance (5/10): For time (6-min cap): 25 calorie row, 16 burpee box jump overs (24/20in), 9 bar muscle-ups. This is a very short, intense triplet testing rowing power, explosive plyometrics, and high-skill gymnastics under extreme time pressure.
- Flexibility (4/10): Requires shoulder/wrist mobility for bar muscle-ups. Hip flexion for box jump overs. Basic rowing mechanics.
Modality Profile
A balanced triplet. Row is monostructural. Bar Muscle-Ups are gymnastics. Burpee Box Jump Overs are a hybrid of monostructural (burpee) and gymnastics (jump), so the overall stimulus is spread across all three.
