Intro:

If you’ve ever competed in HYROX or functional fitness events, you know that wall balls are where races are won — or lost. The 100 wall ball rep test is one of the simplest yet most intense benchmarks you can do: a full-body assault on your quads, lungs, and mindset.

Whether you’re preparing for race day or building serious endurance, this test will expose your pacing, efficiency, and recovery strategies.


The Challenge:

100 Wall Ball Reps for Time

  • Standard Weight: 4kg (women), 6kg (men)
  • Pro Weight: 6kg (women), 9kg (men)
  • Target Height: 9ft (women), 10ft (men)
  • Rules: Full depth squat → clean toss to target → repeat
  • Goal: Complete in one set — no drops or rest if possible

Pacing Makes or Breaks It

Most athletes go out too hard. Smart pacing can mean the difference between a smooth 100 and hitting the wall at 40. That’s where tech tools like WallBallCounter.pro come in.

Coaching Tip: Break it Down

If 100 unbroken reps is too much, try these scaled options:

  • 4 x 25 reps with 30s rest
  • EMOM 10 reps x 10 minutes
  • 10 x 10 sets with 10 breath rests

Record your results and build up each week until you hit all 100 in one go.


Benefits of the 100 Rep Test

  • Develops power-endurance in legs, core, shoulders
  • Forces breathing control and posture awareness
  • Teaches mental pacing under fatigue
  • Acts as a performance benchmark for progression
