Scaling:
Today’s workout pairs grunt work with barbell stamina. The barbell movement in this workout increases in technical difficulty to add a unique challenge. As you become more tired, can you maintain your technique to power through the workout? The loading of the barbell should feel moderate and allow you to complete the shoulder presses in 4 sets or less. The incorporation of the hips in both the push press and push jerk should make the loading feel easier. Choose a load that allows you to perform the movements as written and practice the more technically demanding exercises. Work hard and have fun.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a midline march and a bit of a grind. The goal is to hang on to the dumbbells for as long as possible on the farmers carries and complete each round of the GHD sit-ups in 3 sets or less. If you can jog with the weights, do it. Each farmers carry should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Expect the sit-ups to make the carries a bit more challenging. Focus on standing up taller on the carries to help open up your lungs so you can breathe more efficiently. Less-experienced athletes should reduce the load of the dumbbells, the distance of the farmers carry, and the difficulty of the sit-up. Work hard and have fun today!
