Scaling:
Today’s workout pairs grunt work with barbell stamina. The barbell movement in this workout increases in technical difficulty to add a unique challenge. As you become more tired, can you maintain your technique to power through the workout? The loading of the barbell should feel moderate and allow you to complete the shoulder presses in 4 sets or less. The incorporation of the hips in both the push press and push jerk should make the loading feel easier. Choose a load that allows you to perform the movements as written and practice the more technically demanding exercises. Work hard and have fun.
Scaling:
Expect this workout to be a grind and taxing on your grip. Carry the dumbbells however you’d like on the weighted lunges — consider the front-rack position, resting the dumbbells on the shoulders, or the farmers-carry position as potential options. Reduce the dumbbell load to move with limited rest on both movements. If you don’t have dumbbells or kettlebells available, load the lunges and carries with a 30/45-lb ruck or backpack. There are no excuses. If possible, consider performing this workout on a 400-meter track.

Today’s workout is a midline march and a bit of a grind. The goal is to hang on to the dumbbells for as long as possible on the farmers carries and complete each round of the GHD sit-ups in 3 sets or less. If you can jog with the weights, do it. Each farmers carry should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Expect the sit-ups to make the carries a bit more challenging. Focus on standing up taller on the carries to help open up your lungs so you can breathe more efficiently. Less-experienced athletes should reduce the load of the dumbbells, the distance of the farmers carry, and the difficulty of the sit-up. Work hard and have fun today!
Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time:
400-meter farmers carry
20 GHD sit-ups to parallel
*Focusing on quality, accumulate 2 minutes in as few sets as possible.

Reduce the load on the power cleans and bench presses. Choose a load on the barbell that allows for moderately heavy singles. Choose a dumbbell load with which you’re able to complete the first 20 in 3 sets or less. The double-under can be modified to 30 lateral jumps over the barbell. For the L-sit hold, watch “L-Sit Drills,” choose a drill, and practice.
