Station 8 of 8
Hyrox Wall Balls 100 reps
100 wall balls to a target: a squat, then a throw to the line. The ball and target height depend on the division and category.
Typical times and loads
Race split is the median athlete in each field last season, from real results. Fresh is the same effort done on its own. Pro athletes are fitter than the Open field, so a Pro time can be quicker even where the load is heavier.
| Category | Load | Fresh | Race split |
|---|---|---|---|
| Open Women | 4 kg to 2.7 m | 6:20 | 6:58 |
| Open Men | 6 kg to 3 m | 6:35 | 7:15 |
| Pro Women | 6 kg to 2.7 m | 5:45 | 6:20 |
| Pro Men | 9 kg to 3 m | 6:10 | 6:47 |
What a faster Wall Balls is worth
Take 30 seconds off a fresh Wall Balls 100 reps and the predicted finish comes down by about 33 seconds. The station is raced tired, so time saved fresh is worth a little more on race day.
One thing that helps
Break the reps into sets before you need to, with short rests you decide in advance. Catching the ball straight into the next squat saves a second on every rep.
