Scaling:
Today’s workout should be quick, but the beefed-up variation of the single-leg squat may cause a few speed wobbles. Use a single dumbbell or kettlebell to load the single-leg squats (athletes may choose how to hold the weight). The single-leg squats should be challenging, however, each set should take no more than 1 minute to complete. Scale the load to hit this stimulus. Each set of knees-to-elbows should be completed in 1 minute or less. Scale the height of the knees to hit the intended stimulus.

Intermediate option:
5 rounds for time:
12 knees-to-armpits
12 alternating single-leg squats

Beginner option:
5 rounds for time:
12 hanging knee raises
12 alternating reverse lunges

Scaling:
Today's workout is a classic heavy day and an opportunity to move a little slower relative to the surrounding days. You should aim to lift a heavy load relative to your capacity. If you know your best deadlift single, start your first set of 5 at 70-75% or higher and try to add load to as many of the sets as possible.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d

Beginner option:
For load:
5-5-5-5-5

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a heavy day. Advanced and intermediate athletes should perform triples, while less-experienced athletes should perform a few more reps and focus on the quality of their movement. Experienced athletes can go as heavy as possible and push to hit a new 3-rep max. Less-experienced athletes should work at submaximal loads, working to refine their technique and dial in consistent movement patterns.

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d

Beginner option:
For load:

Back squat
5-5-5-5-5
