Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Speed (8/10): This is an all-out sprint. Fast, efficient legless rope climbs and rapid cycling of thrusters with no rest are critical to finish within the tight cap.
- Strength (7/10): Legless rope climbs require exceptional upper body pulling strength and core control. Thrusters at 95/65 lbs are a light-moderate load but become challenging when sprinted.
- Power (7/10): Thrusters are an explosive movement. Legless rope climbs also require powerful pulls. The WOD is a test of generating power quickly in both movements.
- Stamina (5/10): 3 legless rope climbs demand significant upper body pulling/grip stamina. 27 thrusters test leg/shoulder stamina in a sprint format.
- Endurance (4/10): For time (6-min cap): 3 legless rope climbs, 27 thrusters (95/65lb). This is a very short, intense couplet testing high-skill/strength upper body pulling and moderate-load thruster capacity under extreme time pressure.
- Flexibility (4/10): Requires hip/shoulder mobility for legless rope climbs. Good front rack, squat, overhead mobility for thrusters.
Modality Profile
