Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Stamina (8/10): Performing 40 reps each of pull-ups, power snatches, KTE, power cleans, and HSPU will test pulling/grip stamina, lifting stamina (full body for snatches/cleans), core/grip stamina (KTE), and pushing stamina (HSPU).
Endurance (7/10): A chipper for time: 40 pull-ups, 40 power snatches (105/75lb), 40 knees-to-elbows, 40 power cleans (105/75lb), 40 handstand push-ups. The high volume of varied gymnastics and moderate lifting creates a significant conditioning challenge.
Power (7/10): Power snatches and power cleans are primary power movements. Kipping pull-ups/KTE/HSPU also utilize power. Maintaining power output across the varied chipper is key.
Strength (6/10): Power snatches and power cleans at 105/75 lbs are moderate loads that test strength endurance for 40 reps. Pull-ups, KTE, and HSPU require good relative strength.
Speed (6/10): Efficient transitions between movements and fast cycling of reps within each station are crucial for a good time. Managing fatigue across different muscle groups is important.
Flexibility (5/10): Requires mobility for power snatches (overhead), KTE (hamstrings, shoulders), power cleans (catch), and HSPU (shoulder/wrist).
