Workout Description

Complete as many reps as possible in 7 minutes following this pattern:•20 squat cleans, 135 / 95 lb.•20 squat cleans, 185 / 125 lb.•20 squat cleans, 225 / 155 lb.Log reps completed. Scaled Option20 squat cleans, 95 / 65 lb.20 squat cleans, 135 / 95 lb.20 squat cleans, 155 / 105 lb.Newer athletes may want to further reduce the loading. The first load should be easy. The second load should be harder, but you should be able to complete the 20 reps in 2-3 minutes. The final load should be heavy for you but doable.

Why This Workout Is Very Hard

Twenty squat cleans at 135 alone rivals Grace-level demand due to the full squat catch. After those 20 reps, pre-fatigued legs, back, and grip must then tackle 185 for 20 reps — a weight near many average athletes' heavy singles for squat cleans. The escalating load structure combined with zero rest, high technical demand under fatigue, and sub-7-minute pressure creates multiple simultaneous limiters. Most average athletes complete set one and grind partway through set two.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

Strength (8/10): Progressive loading up to 225/155 lb is the defining feature. The final weight is heavy for most athletes, and completing 20 reps under fatigue requires significant absolute strength across all three loading tiers.

Flexibility (8/10): Full squat receiving position demands thoracic extension, front rack mobility, hip flexor length, and ankle dorsiflexion. Restricted mobility will directly limit efficiency and increase injury risk at heavier loads.

Power (8/10): Every squat clean requires explosive hip extension and a fast turnover under the bar. While high rep counts shift some demand toward power-endurance, each rep still requires genuine bar speed and aggressive pull.

Stamina (7/10): Twenty reps per round across progressively heavier loads demands sustained muscular output from legs, posterior chain, and upper body. Fatigue accumulates quickly, challenging local muscular endurance under load.

Endurance (5/10): Seven minutes of continuous squat cleans creates a significant cardiovascular spike, but the short duration and heavy loads limit pure aerobic demand. Heart rate stays high but this isn't a prolonged endurance test.

Speed (5/10): The 7-minute cap creates urgency, but loads are too heavy for rapid cycling. Athletes must balance controlled rep tempo with enough pace to progress through loading tiers before time expires.
