So the point is, if I pick the wrong weight I fatigue early and I'll need to do more work, but more leg work.
Session flow
The full workout from start to finish — each colour shows effort level at that moment.
Which muscle groups this workout targets most.
Strict press performed bilaterally three times over taxes the deltoids and rotator cuff across the full workout.
Dead cleaning from the floor demands posterior chain engagement and lat bracing on every rep.
Gripping double kettlebells through three AMRAPs accumulates significant forearm fatigue, especially in the rack position.
A rigid trunk is required for both the dead clean and the strict press — the spine must stay neutral throughout.
The lockout of the strict press places direct demand on the triceps across hundreds of cumulative reps.
Three 6-minute double kettlebell dead clean and strict press AMRAPs build significant upper body pressing strength under sustained fatigue.
Repeating the same pressing AMRAP three times demands muscular and cardiovascular endurance to maintain output across all rounds.
Dead cleaning the weight from the floor every rep and pressing strictly without a leg drive is a technical requirement — fatigue tests this under pressure.
Returning to the same hard AMRAP twice more after active recovery requires mental discipline and scoring awareness.
