Endurance | 8/10 | The 2018 Regionals version of 'Linda' for time (17-min cap): 10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps of Deadlifts (295/220lb), Bench Presses (195/135lb), and Squat Cleans (145/105lb). This is a brutal test of maximal strength endurance across three major lifts over a high total volume. |
Stamina | 9/10 | Performing 55 reps each of heavy deadlifts, heavy bench presses, and moderate-heavy squat cleans will exhaust full-body strength-stamina, particularly posterior chain/grip (DLs), pushing muscles (Bench), and legs/back/shoulders (Cleans), to an extreme degree. |
Strength | 10/10 | All lifts are at very heavy loads for this rep scheme (DL 295lb, Bench 195lb, SC 145lb for men). This WOD is an ultimate test of strength endurance and the ability to maintain strength output over many sets with significant weight. |
Flexibility | 4/10 | Requires mobility for heavy deadlifts, bench press (shoulder ROM, arch), and squat cleans (front rack, squat depth). Maintaining good form under extreme load and fatigue is key. |
Power | 7/10 | Squat cleans are a primary power movement. Deadlifts and bench presses, even heavy, require immense power to move the weight. Maintaining power output as fatigue accumulates is very challenging. |
Speed | 4/10 | Focus is on completing the very heavy lifts with good form and managing fatigue. Cycling speed will be slow due to load. Minimizing rest between movements and sets is key for finishing within the cap. |
