The 185/155 Power Clean + Jerk is near or above many average athletes' max, yet demands 35 total barbell cycling reps across 5 rounds. The 60 Medball GHDs systematically destroy the core needed for 54 later T2B reps. Cumulative fatigue from ~1,200m of heavy carries, 205 double-unders, wall balls, and broad jumps on completely destroyed legs creates a compounding disaster. Estimated 75–100+ minute time domain with multiple simultaneous limiters: grip, core, legs, skill, and raw capacity.
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
10 total movements. Gymnastics (G): Double-Under, Toes-to-Bar = 2 movements (20%). Monostructural (M): Row = 1 movement (10%). Weightlifting (W): Medicine Ball GHD, Power Clean, Jerk, Sandbag Farmer Carry, Dumbbell Snatch, Medicine Ball Carry, Wall Ball = 7 movements (70%). This is a heavily weightlifting-dominant workout.
| Attribute | Score | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Endurance | 8/10 | The 1055m row, 600m sandbag carry, three 200m d-ball carries, and 100m broad jump create sustained aerobic demand throughout this long, multi-modal memorial workout requiring significant cardiovascular output. |
| Stamina | 9/10 | With 2,402 total reps spanning GHDs, double unders, T2B, DB snatches, wall balls, and loaded carries across multiple rounds, muscular endurance is the dominant demand from start to finish. |
| Strength | 6/10 | The 185/155lb power clean + jerk for 35 total reps and loaded carries (50# sandbag, 60# d-ball) represent moderate-to-heavy loading, demanding significant strength without reaching true maximal effort territory. |
| Flexibility | 6/10 | GHD medball work demands full hip extension, T2B requires hamstring and hip flexor mobility, and overhead positions in the clean and jerk and DB snatch require solid thoracic and shoulder mobility. |
| Power | 7/10 | Heavy power cleans and jerks (35 total reps), 54 DB snatches, 205 double unders, and 100m of broad jumps create repeated explosive demands woven throughout this lengthy tribute workout. |
| Speed | 4/10 | The sheer volume, heavy loading, and long carries demand careful pacing and strategic rest rather than fast cycling. Efficient transitions matter but sprint-cycling intensity is unsustainable across this duration. |
