Workout Description

1: 14 incline push-up2: 14 RKB Swing3: 8 DB Fly 40#4: 6 strict pull-up + 6 band pull-up

Why This Workout Is Easy

This workout features scaled or sub-maximal movements throughout: incline push-ups reduce load vs. standard push-ups, 14 RKB swings is low volume, and the 6 strict + 6 band pull-up hybrid signals limited pulling capacity. While 40# DB flies add modest upper body challenge, the total volume is small and the mixed pull-up structure builds in natural rest. Chest fatigue from push-ups and flies carries into pull-ups, but overall demand remains low for the average CrossFitter.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Strength (6/10): Strict pull-ups, 40# DB flies, and loaded KB swings represent genuine strength demands. Band-assisted pull-ups reduce relative intensity slightly, but the session prioritizes strength over pure endurance.
  • Stamina (5/10): Moderate rep ranges across four movements create cumulative upper body fatigue. Pushing, pulling, and fly patterns together tax muscular endurance meaningfully, though volume is not extreme.
  • Flexibility (4/10): DB flies require notable shoulder joint range of motion and pec stretch under load. Full pull-up range and incline push-up positioning also demand moderate shoulder and thoracic mobility.
  • Power (4/10): Russian KB swings are the primary power driver, demanding explosive hip extension. The remaining movements are slower and more strength-controlled, creating a mixed power-to-strength ratio overall.
  • Endurance (3/10): No explicit cardio component or time domain stated. The circuit structure provides mild cardiovascular demand, but this is primarily a strength-focused upper body session with limited sustained aerobic challenge.
  • Speed (2/10): No time domain or AMRAP structure is specified. Movements suggest controlled tempo, especially strict pull-ups and DB flies, making speed and fast cycling a low priority in this session.
