Scaling:
Grace, similar to Isabel, is one of the fastest CrossFit benchmark workouts. Look at the last time you performed Grace and choose a heavier weight but one that allows you to keep moving with minimal rest. Intermediate athletes should perform Grace as prescribed and shoot for a PR.
Intermediate Option:
30 clean and jerks for time
♀ 95 lb. ♂ 135 lb.
Beginner Option:
30 clean and jerks for time
♀ 35 lb. ♂ 55 lb.

All athletes can attempt relatively heavy thrusters. Experienced athletes can go as heavy as possible, and attempt a PR. Newer athletes can use this workout as an opportunity to drill the movement.
After each row, perform 2 double-unders for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 80 double-unders before starting the next round.
Post time and number of pulls each round to comments.
Scaling:
This workout encourages hard pulls on the rower. Increase the damper setting and slow your cadence to minimize the number of pulls each round.

5 rounds for time of:
Row 350♀ / 500♂meter in as few pulls as possible.
After each row, perform 1 double-under for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 40 double-unders before starting the next round.
Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
Row 350♀ / 500♂meter in as few pulls as possible.
After each row, perform 2 single-unders for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 80 single-unders before starting the next round.
Scaling:
Another classic combo of thrusters and pull-ups. Today’s variation is light weight and high rep. Choose a weight on the thruster that is lighter than what you’ve done for Fran.

Beginner Option:
2 rounds for time of:

Reduce the difficulty so that you can perform multiple reps unbroken when fresh, but not necessarily attempting to string sets together for the entire workout. Ideally, comple all reps in 15 minutes or less. All athletes should choose modifications that work both pulling and pushing strength.
Intermediate Option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 15 minutes:
Strict muscle-ups
Beginner Option:
10 rounds for time:
3 ring rows
3 push-ups
