| Endurance | 6/10 | A Ski Erg buy-in/cash-out (27 cals each) sandwiching 3 rounds of 8 ring muscle-ups and 16 alternating heavy dumbbell snatches (85/60 lb). This is a potent test of monostructural cardio, high-skill gymnastics, and heavy unilateral power, creating significant metabolic stress in a relatively short but intense WOD. |
| Stamina | 7/10 | Cycling 8 ring MUs and 16 heavy DB snatches for 3 rounds, framed by Ski Erg efforts, tests upper body pulling/pushing stamina (RMUs) and unilateral full-body strength-stamina for snatches (shoulder, back, legs, grip). |
| Strength | 8/10 | Ring muscle-ups require high relative upper body strength. Alternating dumbbell snatches with an 85/60 lb dumbbell are very heavy. This WOD is very strength and power dominant in its core components. |
| Flexibility | 6/10 | Excellent shoulder/wrist mobility for ring muscle-ups. Good hip hinge and overhead mobility for heavy DB snatches. Basic skiing mechanics. |
| Power | 9/10 | Ring muscle-ups and heavy dumbbell snatches are peak power movements. Ski Erg for speed also demands high power output. This WOD is a major test of generating high power repeatedly. |
| Speed | 7/10 | Fast Ski Erg efforts and efficient cycling of RMUs and heavy DB snatches with minimal rest are crucial for a top time. Technical proficiency under speed is key. |
