Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (8/10): Totaling 150 Assault Bike calories and 150 wall balls. This will severely tax leg/cardio stamina (bike) and leg/shoulder stamina (wall balls). Maintaining output for 3 rounds is very challenging.
- Endurance (7/10): Three rounds for time of 50 calorie Assault Air Bike and 50 wall ball shots (20/14 lb). This couplet tests cardiovascular and muscular endurance with high-volume efforts on two demanding conditioning movements.
- Power (7/10): Assault Bike sprints demand high power output. Wall balls (squat and throw) are an explosive movement. The WOD tests sustained power-endurance over 3 rounds.
- Speed (7/10): This WOD demands fast cycling of both movements. The ability to maintain a high pace on the bike and efficiently perform wall balls with minimal rest is key for a good score.
- Strength (3/10): Wall balls are a light-moderate load, focusing on endurance. Biking power comes from leg drive, emphasizing strength endurance.
- Flexibility (2/10): Requires full squat depth for wall balls. Basic biking mechanics.
Modality Profile
