Scaling:
This Hero workout is a long effort with a high volume of reps. Athletes hitting this as prescribed should aim to finish each round in 9 minutes or less. Focus on the movement you are performing on the GHD (back extension or hip extension). Most athletes deliberately scale the back extension to the hip extension to maintain intensity and achieve the stimulus of the workout. The back extension is a controlled movement with an intentional surrendering of the spine. Dose this movement judiciously. Advanced athletes may scale the volume of the back extension if they have never completed this volume. New and less-experienced athletes should consider performing hip extensions instead of back extensions, and potentially decrease the reps of each movement.
Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time of:
Run 800 meters
35 back extensions
35 sit-ups
Beginner option:
3 rounds for time of:
Jog 400 meters
25 PVC pipe good-mornings
15-25 sit-ups

Scaling:
Today’s workout has a moderate time domain and comprises a single round with decreasing reps and distances. With your midline being a major factor in this workout, expect the GHD sit-ups to interfere with your rope climbs and runs. Advanced athletes should push the pace on the runs and try to go unbroken on the GHD sit-ups. Less-experienced athletes should pace the runs to set themselves up for success with the sit-ups and rope climbs.
Intermediate option:
For time:
20 GHD sit-ups (to parallel)
3 rope climbs, 15 feet
800-meter run
15 GHD sit-ups (to parallel)
