Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (7/10): A chipper for time with descending reps: 50 Plate OH Lunges (45/25lb), 40 Pull-Ups, 30 Thrusters (95/65lb), 20 Burpees, 10 Squat Cleans (135/95lb). The varied movements and rep schemes create a good test of overall conditioning and work capacity.
  • Stamina (7/10): High reps of plate OH lunges (shoulder/core/leg stability), pull-ups (pulling/grip), thrusters (leg/shoulder), burpees (full-body), and moderate-heavy squat cleans (lifting stamina) will test broad muscular endurance.
  • Power (6/10): Thrusters, squat cleans, and burpees are primary power movements. Kipping pull-ups also utilize power. Maintaining power output through the descending rep chipper is key.
  • Speed (6/10): Efficient transitions between movements and fast cycling of reps within each station are crucial for a good time. Managing fatigue as reps decrease but movements remain challenging.
  • Strength (5/10): Squat cleans at 135/95 lbs are a moderate-heavy load. Thrusters at 95/65 lbs are moderate. Plate OH lunges (45/25lb) test stability strength. Pull-ups test relative strength.
  • Flexibility (4/10): Requires mobility for OH lunges, pull-ups, thrusters (front rack, squat, overhead), and squat cleans (front rack, squat). Basic burpee mobility.

Modality Profile

A chipper with one gymnastics movement (Pull-Ups) and multiple weightlifting movements (Plate Overhead Lunges, Thrusters, Burpees, Squat Cleans). Weightlifting dominant.
