Goals / Stimulus / Objectives

Score = Total Reps
Goal: 90+ Reps
Scoring = Through 10 Pull-Ups = 90 Total Reps
Primary Objective: Manage strict pull-up volume by choosing appropriate scaling or a set strategy to minimize time spent resting.
Secondary Objective: Keep DB snatches smooth and efficient with minimal breaks, maximizing continuous work output.
Stimulus: Muscular Endurance and Strict Strength
RPE: ~7-8/10
This workout should feel tough but maintainable. You’re working at a pace that challenges your strength and conditioning without pushing you to complete failure. The short duration encourages consistent movement, but avoid redlining early—strict pull-ups will grow in difficulty quickly.
Overview & Stimulus:
“Diddy Kong” is a short, ascending ladder AMRAP that challenges upper-body pulling strength and muscular endurance under a tight time cap. The combination of a constant set of DB snatches and steadily increasing strict pull-up reps will test your ability to maintain quality reps as fatigue sets in. Expect your heart rate to stay elevated and your shoulders, lats, and grip to be the primary limiting factors. The DB snatches provide a dynamic hip-driven movement, while the strict pull-ups become progressively more demanding on the upper body.
