Workout Description
Why This Workout Is Medium
This is a well-rounded but accessible workout. The 250m row and 15 wall balls at 14lb are brief and sub-maximal. The 40 double unders add a skill component but are manageable for the average CrossFitter. The 20 plate lunges at 20kg create meaningful leg fatigue compounded by prior wall balls — that quad accumulation is the real challenge. Overall moderate volume, moderate loads, no extreme skill demands.
Training Focus
This workout develops the following fitness attributes:
- Endurance (6/10): Rowing, double unders, and continuous movement across four stations create a sustained cardiovascular demand, requiring steady aerobic output throughout the circuit to maintain pace and efficiency.
- Stamina (6/10): Moderate rep ranges across multiple movement patterns — 15 wall balls, 40 double unders, and 20 lunges — challenge muscular endurance, especially in the legs and shoulders cumulatively.
- Speed (5/10): Double unders reward fast rope cycling, and wall ball transitions benefit from quick turnovers. Steady pacing and smooth movement transitions across all four stations are key to performance.
- Flexibility (4/10): Wall balls demand thoracic and hip mobility; plate lunges require hip flexor length and ankle flexibility; rowing needs hamstring and thoracic range. Moderate mobility is needed across multiple planes.
- Power (4/10): Wall balls require an explosive hip-to-shoulder power transfer, and double unders demand rhythmic, reactive calf and wrist power. Not purely explosive, but power output meaningfully affects efficiency.
- Strength (3/10): The 20kg plate lunges and 14lb wall balls introduce load but remain well below maximal effort. This is primarily a conditioning stimulus rather than a test of maximum force production.
Movements
- Wall Ball
- Weighted Lunge
- Row
- Double-Under
Modality Profile
4 movements total: Row (M), Wall Ball (W), Double-Under (G), Plate Lunge (W - weighted). G: 1/4 = 25%, M: 1/4 = 25%, W: 2/4 = 50%. Wall Ball and Plate Lunge both carry external load, giving Weightlifting a dominant share of the workout.
