Scaling:
Most athletes can complete this lifting day as prescribed. Prioritize solid mechanics over heavy loading. Newer athletes should start light, focus on mechanics, and slowly add weight as they are comfortable.
Scaling:
Choose modifications that allow you to complete each exercise with little rest. There is a high volume of each movement. Scale back each portion so you can keep moving, even as fatigue sets in.
Scaling:
Focus on excellent technique for every set. If you have a previous 1-rep max, try to set a new PR. Add weight for each set, but only if movement quality is consistent. Intermediate athletes can perform this workout as prescribed. Newer athletes can increase the reps to encourage more practice with the lift.
