Scaling:
Today’s workout is a mental and physical test. On paper, this workout creates an ominous thought of too much time on the rower — and that's exactly what’s intended. Adjust the load of the dumbbell so you can perform at least 10 unbroken snatches. Consider holding the dumbbell in the farmers-carry position, the front rack, or on the shoulder. Ultimately, the choice is yours, but the goal is to perform 50 lunges unbroken. Don’t look at the clock — just jump on the rower, push the pace, and get to work. Have fun!

Scaling:
Rowing hard on this workout rewards you with fewer reps of the Turkish get-up and likely a faster time. Push it on the row. Intermediate athletes can perform this workout as prescribed.

Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
Max-calorie row in 60 seconds
Turkish get-ups

♀ 15-lb TGU ♂ 25-lb TGU

Complete a total of 30 reps (or calories) each round. For example, if you row 15 calories, complete 15 Turkish get-ups that round. If you row 20 calories, complete 10 Turkish get-ups that round.

Scaling:
Today’s workout leaves the difficulty up to you. The intention is to sprint through the first two movements and have at least 40 seconds on the rower to accumulate calories. The load of the barbell should be on the lighter side of moderate and allow you to perform 3-5+ touch-and-go reps. Fast singles might be the way to go for some. When in doubt, go lighter and move faster. Once you are done with the snatches, get right into the burpees and try not to stop. Can anyone hold 20 calories or more on the rower? Less-experienced athletes should reduce the load of the barbell and number of burpees to give themselves enough time on the rower. Time to go visit the pain cave.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for total calories:

On a 2-minute clock:
10 power snatches
10 lateral burpees over the barbell
Max-calorie row in the remaining time
- Rest 2 minutes between each round.
