Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (8/10): Performing 50 reps each of burpees (full-body), air squats (legs), hollow rocks (core isometric/dynamic), and push-ups (pushing) after a 1km row will severely tax broad bodyweight muscular endurance.
- Endurance (7/10): For time: 1000m row buy-in, then 50 reps each of Burpees, Air Squats, Hollow Rocks, and Push-Ups. The row followed by high-volume bodyweight calisthenics creates a significant cardiovascular and muscular endurance challenge.
- Speed (6/10): Maintaining a strong rowing pace and then efficiently cycling through all four 50-rep bodyweight movements with minimal rest is crucial for a good time.
- Power (3/10): Burpees have an explosive component. Rowing involves power per stroke. The WOD emphasizes sustained endurance over peak power.
- Strength (2/10): Primarily a test of relative bodyweight strength endurance. Hollow rocks require good core strength. No significant external load beyond the rower.
- Flexibility (2/10): Requires basic mobility for rowing, burpees, squats, hollow rocks (core control), and push-ups.
Modality Profile
A G/M workout with a monostructural component (Row) and multiple gymnastics components (Burpees, Air Squats, Hollow Rocks, Push-Ups).
