Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (8/10): Push-up buy-in/out, then 4 rounds of: 400m run, and a barbell complex (4 FS, 4 Burpees, 4 Thrusters, 4 Burpees, 4 PP, 4 Burpees, 4 PC, 4 Burpees - all at 115/85lb). The runs and high volume of burpees interspersed with barbell work make this very demanding on conditioning.
  • Stamina (8/10): Totaling 64 burpees per round (256 total) plus the barbell complex (16 lifts per round, 64 total) and push-up buy-in/out (88 total) will severely tax full-body stamina and specific lifting/pushing stamina.
  • Power (6/10): Thrusters, push presses, power cleans, and burpees are all explosive movements. Maintaining power output through the complex and burpees after running is key.
  • Strength (5/10): Barbell movements (FS, Thrusters, PP, PC) at 115/85 lbs are moderate loads that test strength endurance when performed in a complex and interspersed with burpees and runs.
  • Speed (5/10): Maintaining a good running pace and cycling efficiently through the barbell complex and burpees is crucial. Managing transitions between barbell movements and burpees is also important.
  • Flexibility (4/10): Requires mobility for front squats, thrusters (overhead), push presses (overhead), power cleans (catch), and burpees. Basic running/push-up mobility.
