Scaling:
Reduce the load of the snatches to a weight that is challenging but allows you to complete at least 10 reps unbroken when fresh. Beginners should also scale the volume.
Scaling:
This couplet pairs a high-skill, explosive, and frequently frustrating movement with mindless suffering. Pick a modification for the triple-unders that is doable yet still challenging. Try to maintain intensity on the bike while composing yourself for the next round.

Scaling:
Newer athletes may benefit from practicing progressions to understand the timing of the movement. For more instruction, review “The Power of Progression, Part 1: Push Jerk.” Ideally, each set will be as heavy as possible for 3 reps, but newer athletes should start light and slowly add weight as they are comfortable.
Scaling:
Deconditioned athletes should reduce the overall volume and select a load for the kettlebell that allows you to complete the first round in 2-3 sets. Experienced athletes should strive to complete all sets unbroken. If you are unable to complete the set of 50 swings in 3 sets or less while maintaining consistent technique, consider reducing the load for the remainder of the workout.
Beginner Option:
40-30-20-10 reps for time of:
Kettlebell swings
Sit-ups
