Workout Description

Why This Workout Is Easy

This workout is incomplete as presented - 'Part A' is referenced but not defined, making it impossible to fully assess. However, the described portion (3 rounds of 1-minute AMRAPs at 50% working weight with 1-minute rest) suggests very manageable loading with built-in recovery. The 1:1 work-to-rest ratio and reduced intensity (50%) would allow most athletes to maintain consistent output without significant fatigue accumulation, regardless of the movement.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

• Speed (8/10): Success heavily depends on rapid cycling and minimal transition time to accumulate maximum reps in each 1-minute window.
• Stamina (7/10): One-minute AMRAPs at 50% working weight will challenge muscular endurance, requiring sustained output under fatigue across multiple rounds.
• Power (6/10): AMRAP format encourages explosive movement execution to maximize reps, especially with moderate loads allowing for speed.
• Strength (5/10): Using 50% of working weight provides moderate strength stimulus - not maximal but significantly more than bodyweight movements.
• Endurance (4/10): Three 1-minute AMRAPs with rest periods provide moderate cardiovascular demand but insufficient duration for pure aerobic conditioning.
• Flexibility (3/10): Mobility demands depend on the specific movement from Part A, but generally requires standard range of motion.

Benchmark Notes

This workout appears to be 3 rounds of 1-minute AMRAPs at 50% working weight with 1-minute rest between rounds. Since no specific movement is mentioned, I'll assume a common barbell movement like thrusters or clean & jerks at reduced load. At 50% working weight, athletes can maintain higher rep rates with less fatigue. For a moderate barbell movement at 50% load: Elite athletes (L10) can sustain 20-22 reps per minute across 3 rounds = 60-66 total reps. The 1-minute rest allows good recovery between rounds, so fatigue multiplier is minimal (1.0x, 1.05x, 1.1x across rounds). Median athletes (L5) would achieve 12-15 reps per minute = 36-45 total reps. Beginners (L1) might manage 5-7 reps per minute = 15-21 total reps. Since this is scored as total reps across all 3 rounds, the benchmarks reflect cumulative performance. The reduced load (50% working weight) allows for higher rep counts than typical strength work but lower than pure bodyweight movements. Final targets: L10: ~165 reps, L5: ~105 reps, L1: ~45 reps.

Modality Profile

The workout only mentions '50% of working weight Part A' which indicates a weightlifting movement with external load, making this 100% weightlifting modality.
