Why This Workout Is Medium
While bench press and deadlifts are fundamental movements with moderate loads for most athletes, the built-in 90-second rest periods between sets prevent significant fatigue accumulation. The 8-minute AMRAP format allows athletes to self-pace and choose appropriate weights. The decreasing rep scheme (3→2) provides natural scaling. Most average CrossFitters can complete this as prescribed since the rest intervals maintain movement quality and prevent the grinding fatigue typical of harder workouts.
Modality Profile
Both Bench Press and Deadlift are barbell movements with external load, making this workout 100% Weightlifting with no Gymnastics or Monostructural components.
