Benchmark Notes

This is a complex chipper with three distinct phases. PHASE 1 (700m run + 10 rounds BMU/HSPU/goblet squats): 700m run takes 150-210s. Round 1-3 BMU: 4s each, HSPU: 10s each (3 reps), goblet squats: 8s (7 reps) = 22s per round. Rounds 4-6: 1.2x fatigue = 26s per round. Rounds 7-10: 1.4x fatigue = 31s per round. Total rounds: 3×22 + 3×26 + 4×31 = 266s. Plus transitions: 10×3s = 30s. Phase 1 total: 210 + 266 + 30 = 506s. PHASE 2 (700m + 10 rounds pull-ups/push-ups/air squats): Second 700m with accumulated fatigue: 240s. Rounds 1-5: pull-ups 10s, push-ups 10s, air squats 11s = 31s per round with 1.3x fatigue = 40s. Rounds 6-10: 1.6x fatigue = 50s. Total: 5×40 + 5×50 = 450s. Transitions: 30s. Phase 2: 240 + 450 + 30 = 720s. PHASE 3 (Final 700m): With severe accumulated fatigue: 270s. Elite total: 506 + 720 + 270 = 1496s ≈ 25min. Applied progressive scaling for recreational athletes up to 35+ minutes.
