Workout Description

Why This Workout Is Hard

This workout combines moderate skill demands (C2B pull-ups), continuous movement with minimal rest, and 10 rounds of accumulated fatigue. The 100m runs provide brief recovery but not enough to fully reset. The devil press at 50lb is manageable loading, but grip fatigue from pull-ups compounds with running and pressing. Most average athletes will complete this, but significant pacing strategy and mental toughness are required to maintain consistency across all 10 rounds.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

• Stamina (8/10): High volume of pull-ups (100 total) and dumbbell presses (50 total) demand significant muscular endurance. Fatigue accumulates across rounds, testing sustained upper body output.
• Endurance (7/10): Ten rounds of 100m runs with minimal rest between rounds creates sustained cardiovascular demand. The repeated running intervals challenge aerobic capacity throughout the workout duration.
• Speed (7/10): For-time format demands quick movement cycling and minimal transitions. Maintaining pace across ten rounds is critical. Running intervals add speed component to the workout.
• Power (6/10): Devil press involves explosive hip extension and pressing power. Pull-ups require some explosiveness to reach chest-to-bar. Mixed power and strength demands throughout.
• Strength (4/10): Moderate dumbbell loads at 50 pounds require some force production, but the focus is muscular endurance rather than maximal strength. Pull-ups use bodyweight only.
• Flexibility (3/10): Chest-to-bar pull-ups require shoulder mobility and thoracic extension. Devil press demands overhead mobility, but overall ROM demands are moderate and basic.
