Scaling:

Experienced athletes can take one of two approaches on today’s workout. 1.  Attempt to increase the load for every set, aiming for a PR on the later sets. Or, 2. Build to approximately 70-80% of your 1-rep-max and maintain consistent working sets. Focus on excellent technique and aim for a PR on the fourth or fifth set. Athletes with less experience should consider a coach’s guidance and drill the mechanics before adding weight.
