Workout Description

Why This Workout Is Easy

This appears to be an incomplete workout description with only 'Single Arm DB Press' listed. Without rep scheme, weight, time domain, or other movements, this represents a basic unilateral pressing movement that most CrossFitters can perform with appropriate loading. The single-arm nature provides built-in rest between sides. Without additional context suggesting high volume, heavy weight, or time pressure, this defaults to an easy accessibility rating.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

• Strength (8/10): Primary focus on maximal force production through shoulder and arm muscles, typically performed with challenging loads for strength development.
• Stamina (4/10): Unilateral pressing creates moderate muscular endurance demand, especially in stabilizing muscles and core throughout multiple repetitions per arm.
• Flexibility (3/10): Requires adequate shoulder mobility and thoracic spine extension for proper overhead positioning, moderate range of motion demands.
• Power (2/10): Generally performed as controlled strength movement rather than explosive pressing, minimal power component unless specifically programmed for speed.
• Endurance (1/10): Single arm dumbbell press typically involves short sets with rest periods, minimal cardiovascular demand unless programmed as high-volume circuit.
• Speed (1/10): Typically performed with deliberate tempo focusing on control and strength rather than rapid cycling or quick transitions.

Benchmark Notes

Single Arm DB Press is a unilateral strength movement that tests shoulder stability, core engagement, and pressing power. Since this was scored as 'Other/Text' but involves a strength movement, I'm treating this as a max load workout where athletes work up to their heaviest single-arm dumbbell press. For single-arm pressing movements, athletes typically use 60-80% of their bilateral pressing strength due to the unilateral stability demands and core engagement required. Using standard dumbbell press progressions and CrossFit population strength distributions: L10 athletes (elite) can typically handle 55+ lb dumbbells for strict single-arm pressing, representing excellent shoulder strength and stability. L5 athletes (median CrossFitters) typically work in the 35 lb range, while L1 athletes (beginners/scaled) start around 15 lb dumbbells to learn proper form and build foundational strength. The progression follows standard dumbbell increments (5 lb jumps) which are common in most gyms. This movement emphasizes strict pressing mechanics rather than speed, so the focus is purely on maximum load achieved with proper form.
