Workout Description
18 thrusters (95/135 lb)
18 bar muscle-ups
80-foot yoke carry (345/525 lb)
15 bar muscle-ups
15 thrusters
Why This Workout Is Very Hard
For the average CrossFit athlete, Final 1815 is Very Hard because Yoke Carry at up to 525 lb and Thruster at up to 135 lb meet a roughly 6:51 work domain. The movements interfere through repeated grip, trunk, leg, or overhead fatigue, and there is little built-in recovery, so local fatigue compounds across movements. Only experienced athletes are likely to preserve every Rx standard.

Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Strength (8/10): External loading and force demands score 0.8 for strength. The prescription reaches about 525 lb before sex-specific scaling. Force production must remain technically sound as the workout's other demands accumulate.
- Speed (8/10): The 6:51 scoring window and 3 movements score 0.8 for speed; success rewards high-skill or heavily loaded cycling, decisive transitions, and appropriately aggressive pacing.
- Power (5/10): Thruster drive a 0.5 power score through repeated explosive extension and fast force production. Explosive intent must remain repeatable rather than deteriorating into slow, inefficient repetitions.
- Stamina (4/10): The repeated work around Yoke Carry at up to 525 lb and Thruster at up to 135 lb scores 0.4 for stamina; athletes must preserve local muscular output as sets, rounds, and transitions accumulate fatigue.
- Endurance (2/10): Final 1815 scores 0.2 for endurance because its 6:51 domain creates cardiovascular demand through sustained output. Breathing supports repeatable work, but pure aerobic capacity is not the only limiter.
- Flexibility (1/10): The prescribed positions create a 0.1 flexibility demand: efficient range of motion matters, but mobility is supportive rather than the sole test.
Movements
- Thruster
- Bar Muscle-Up
- Yoke Carry
Scaling Options
Reduce Yoke Carry to a load that permits crisp small sets without failed reps. Replace Bar Muscle-Up with chest-to-bar pull-ups.
Scaling Explanation
Choose options that keep the athlete working in the short, high-output domain without prolonged failure. Preserve the primary challenge of Yoke Carry at up to 525 lb and Thruster at up to 135 lb, not the exact Rx load or skill at the expense of intensity.
Intended Stimulus
Final 1815 is intended as a short, high-output test centered on Yoke Carry at up to 525 lb and Thruster at up to 135 lb. Athletes should sustain the fastest repeatable output that preserves the prescribed standards, letting breathing and local fatigue build without turning early aggression into failed reps or long stops.
Coach Insight
Start at a pace you can repeat through the middle of the workout, and break Yoke Carry at up to 525 lb and Thruster at up to 135 lb before technique or cadence collapses. Keep transitions deliberate and short; save the final acceleration for the last round or station.
Benchmark Notes
L5 is anchored near 7:24 for an average Rx athlete, allowing realistic set breaks and transitions around Yoke Carry at up to 525 lb and Thruster at up to 135 lb. L10 targets 3:33 with deliberate pacing, near-unbroken skill work, and minimal transition loss.
Modality Profile
Counting each unique movement once, G includes Bar Muscle-Up; W includes Thruster and Yoke Carry. That produces G 30%, M 0%, and W 70%.
