Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Stamina (8/10): Performing 20 total muscle-ups and 50 total pull-ups, with a 1.5-mile run in between, will severely tax upper body pulling and pushing stamina (MUs), and pulling/grip stamina (pull-ups), especially when trying to repeat the gymnastics after the run.
Endurance (7/10): For time: 25 pull-ups, 10 muscle-ups, then a 1.5-mile run, followed by 10 muscle-ups and 25 pull-ups. The run is a significant cardiovascular challenge, framed by high-skill gymnastics that demand endurance of those specific patterns.
Strength (7/10): Muscle-ups require significant relative upper body strength. Pull-ups test relative pulling strength. The WOD tests the ability to express this strength before and after a significant endurance effort.
Power (6/10): Muscle-ups are an explosive movement. Kipping pull-ups also utilize power. Maintaining power for gymnastics after the run is a key challenge.
Speed (6/10): A strong running pace is important. Efficient cycling of pull-ups and muscle-ups, minimizing failed reps, is crucial for a good time. Managing transitions between running and gymnastics.
Flexibility (5/10): Excellent shoulder/wrist mobility for muscle-ups. Full range for pull-ups. Basic running mobility.
