Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Stamina (8/10): Totaling 45 thrusters (115lb) and 27 rope climbs. This will severely tax leg/shoulder stamina (thrusters) and upper body pulling/grip stamina (rope climbs). Maintaining efficiency as fatigue mounts is key.
- Endurance (7/10): A descending ladder for time (21-15-9 reps for thrusters, 12-9-6 for rope climbs) of moderate thrusters (115/75 lb) and rope climbs (15ft). This tests strength endurance and high-skill gymnastics capacity under significant metabolic stress.
- Strength (7/10): Thrusters at 115/75 lbs are a moderate-heavy load. Rope climbs require significant upper body pulling strength. This WOD has a strong strength endurance component.
- Power (7/10): Thrusters are an explosive movement. Explosive pulls on rope climbs also utilize power. Maintaining power output through the descending ladder is tested.
- Speed (6/10): Efficient cycling of thrusters and quick, successful rope climbs are crucial for a good time. Minimizing rest and managing transitions effectively is important.
- Flexibility (5/10): Requires good front rack, squat, and overhead mobility for thrusters. Hip/shoulder mobility for efficient rope climbs.
Modality Profile
A couplet of a weightlifting movement (Thruster) and a gymnastics movement (Rope Climb). The stimulus is evenly split between G and W.
