Workout Description

Warm up SOP plus: 25m inch worm push up 15 leg levers inch worm to distance then leg levers, then back Strength /Skill:back squat 6x4 65%Metabolic Conditioning:5 Rounds for time - 10 toes to bar 20 air squats 12 KB Swings

Why This Workout Is Medium

The 65% back squat volume (6x4) creates moderate leg fatigue that carries into 100 air squats and 60 KB swings in the metcon — a meaningful but not punishing carryover. Grip becomes the dual limiting factor with toes-to-bar and KB swings competing each round. TTB is a skill most average CrossFitters possess but will need to break up by round 3-4. Overall manageable volume, no extreme loading, and predictable time domain of roughly 14-18 minutes.

Training Focus

This workout develops the following fitness attributes:

  • Stamina (7/10): Combined metcon volume of 50 toes-to-bar, 100 air squats, and 60 KB swings targets core, legs, and posterior chain extensively, demanding significant muscular endurance across multiple movement patterns.
  • Endurance (5/10): The 5-round for-time metcon creates moderate cardiovascular demand, but the rest-based strength component (6x4 back squat) limits sustained aerobic output. Overall cardio stress is moderate.
  • Strength (5/10): Back squat at 65% for 6x4 provides a genuine strength stimulus. KB swings and air squats are light/bodyweight, but the squat block anchors meaningful absolute strength development in this session.
  • Flexibility (5/10): Toes-to-bar demands hamstring and hip flexor mobility; back squats require ankle dorsiflexion and hip mobility; the inch worm warm-up highlights and prepares posterior chain range of motion needs.
  • Speed (5/10): For-time format rewards efficient pacing and quick transitions. Fatigue accumulates across five rounds, requiring athletes to manage movement speed and rest strategically rather than sprinting each set.
  • Power (4/10): KB swings are the primary explosive movement, demanding hip hinge power output. Back squats at 65% can be performed with velocity intent, but the workout does not heavily emphasize maximal power production.
