Scaling:
This Hero workout is a long effort with a high volume of reps. Athletes hitting this as prescribed should aim to finish each round in 9 minutes or less. Focus on the movement you are performing on the GHD (back extension or hip extension). Most athletes deliberately scale the back extension to the hip extension to maintain intensity and achieve the stimulus of the workout. The back extension is a controlled movement with an intentional surrendering of the spine. Dose this movement judiciously. Advanced athletes may scale the volume of the back extension if they have never completed this volume. New and less-experienced athletes should consider performing hip extensions instead of back extensions, and potentially decrease the reps of each movement.
Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
35 back extensions
35 sit-ups
Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
Jog 400 meters
25 PVC pipe good-mornings
15-25 sit-ups

Today’s workout is a twist on the classic benchmark workout, Nancy. The weight starts heavy, but as the reps increase, the weight decreases. We’ll start with the barbell on the ground, which means you must be able to safely snatch it — reduce the load if this is not possible as written. The first barbell should be challenging, but you should be able to hold it overhead for an unbroken set. Some athletes may be able to go unbroken in the remaining sets — if you have to break, it should only be once. Keep the runs to 2:15 or less.
