The farmers walk (95/65 per arm) pre-fatigues grip and shoulders before the MetCon even starts. Then 60 total power cleans tax grip and posterior chain, 60 cal row drains the lungs and legs, and 60 ring dips — a demanding skill movement — arrive when the upper body is already compromised. Ring dips alone are a limiting factor for many average athletes; attempting 30+ consecutive under fatigue is a genuine wall.
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
7 total movements: Gymnastics (4) = Dive Bomber, Superman, Push-Up, Ring Dip (57% → 60%); Weightlifting (2) = Farmer Carry, Power Clean (29% → 30%); Monostructural (1) = Row (14% → 10%). Totals: G:60, M:10, W:30.
| Attribute | Score | Explanation |
|---|---|---|
| Endurance | 5/10 | The 30-cal rows across 2 rounds provide meaningful aerobic stimulus, and the farmers walk adds cardiovascular demand. However, total workout duration is moderate, limiting pure aerobic tax. |
| Stamina | 7/10 | High-rep output across 60 power cleans, 60 cal row, and 60 ring dips demands significant upper body and full-body muscular endurance. Ring dips especially tax pushing muscles repeatedly under fatigue. |
| Strength | 5/10 | The 200m loaded farmers walk with 95/65 barbells requires real grip and carry strength. Power cleans at 95/65 add moderate loading, but no true maximal strength efforts are present. |
| Flexibility | 4/10 | Dive bombers and supermans in the warm-up demand spinal mobility. Power cleans require hip and thoracic mobility. Ring dips need shoulder flexibility. Above basic but not extreme range of motion demands. |
| Power | 6/10 | Power cleans are the primary explosive movement, performed for 30 reps across 2 rounds totaling 60 reps. The workout significantly emphasizes hip extension power, though high reps shift it away from pure explosiveness. |
| Speed | 4/10 | Timed format encourages efficient transitions and cycling pace, but 2-round structure rewards steady pacing over sprinting. Grip fatigue from farmers walk into power cleans limits aggressive cycling speed. |
