Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Endurance (9/10): Seven rounds for time of 7 reps each of 7 demanding movements: Handstand Push-Ups, Thrusters (135/95lb), Knees-to-Elbows, Deadlifts (245/165lb), Burpees, Kettlebell Swings (2/1.5 pood), Pull-Ups. This is an extremely demanding test of broad fitness, strength, skill, and endurance across high volume and variety.
  • Stamina (9/10): Totaling 49 reps of each of the 7 movements. This will exhaust pushing stamina (HSPU), leg/shoulder stamina (Thrusters), core/grip stamina (KTE), posterior chain/grip stamina (DLs, KB Swings), full-body stamina (Burpees), and pulling/grip stamina (Pull-Ups).
  • Strength (8/10): Thrusters at 135/95 lbs, Deadlifts at 245/165 lbs, and Kettlebell Swings at 2/1.5 pood (70/53lb) are all heavy loads for 7 reps per round for 7 rounds. HSPU, KTE, and Pull-Ups test significant relative strength. This WOD is very strength-dominant.
  • Power (7/10): Thrusters, Deadlifts (if cycled fast), KB Swings, Burpees, and kipping gymnastics all have significant power components. Maintaining power across so many varied movements for 7 rounds is a major challenge.
  • Flexibility (5/10): Requires mobility for HSPU, Thrusters (front rack, squat, overhead), KTE (hamstrings, shoulders), Deadlifts, KB Swings (hip hinge), and Pull-Ups.
  • Speed (4/10): Pacing is critical for this very long and demanding chipper-style WOD. Efficient transitions and consistent movement are far more important than maximal speed on any single element due to the volume, load, and variety.

Modality Profile

A chipper with two gymnastics movements (Handstand Push-Ups, Pull-Ups) and multiple weightlifting movements (Thrusters, Kettlebell Swings, Knees-to-Elbows, Deadlifts, Burpees). Weightlifting dominant.
