Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (8/10): Performing 20 reps of 5 different moderate-heavy barbell movements (100 total lifts at 135lb), plus many sets of 4 burpees, will severely tax full-body muscular endurance, particularly legs, shoulders, back, and core. Grip will also be challenged.
  • Endurance (7/10): A barbell complex chipper for time: 20 reps each of Thrusters, Sumo Deadlift High-Pulls, Push Jerks, Overhead Squats, and Front Squats (all at 135/95 lb), with 4 burpees at the start and at the top of each minute. The continuous burpee interruption significantly increases the cardiovascular demand and tests the ability to maintain lifting performance under duress.
  • Strength (7/10): All barbell movements are at 135/95 lbs, which is a moderate-heavy load for 20 reps of each, especially with burpee interruptions. This WOD has a strong strength endurance component.
  • Power (7/10): Thrusters, SDHP, and Push Jerks are primary power movements. OHS and FS can be explosive. Maintaining power output for lifts immediately after burpees is a key challenge.
  • Flexibility (6/10): Requires good mobility for all barbell movements: Thrusters (front rack, squat, overhead), SDHP (hip hinge), Push Jerks (overhead), OHS (full squat, overhead stability), and Front Squats (front rack, squat).
  • Speed (5/10): Efficient cycling of barbell movements and quick burpees are important. The main challenge is managing the constant burpee interruption and maintaining lifting quality and pace.
