Benchmark Notes

Movement breakdown per round fresh state: Power Clean (155/100) = 2.5 sec/rep × 3 = 7.5 sec, Lateral Barbell Burpees = 5 sec/rep × 5 = 25 sec, Double Unders = 0.5 sec/rep × 30 = 15 sec. Base round time = 47.5 sec + 3 sec transitions = 50.5 sec. Applied progressive fatigue: Rounds 1-2 (1.0x) = 101 sec, Rounds 3-4 (1.15x) = 116 sec, Rounds 5-6 (1.25x) = 126 sec, Round 7 (1.4x) = 71 sec. Total base time = 414 sec. Added set breaking: Power cleans require 2-3 singles in later rounds (+15 sec), burpees stay unbroken, double unders break into 15+15 sets (+10 sec). Final elite time calculation: 414 + 25 = 439 sec.
