Today’s workout is a twist on the classic benchmark workout, Nancy. The weight starts heavy, but as the reps increase, the weight decreases. We’ll start with the barbell on the ground, which means you must be able to safely snatch it — reduce the load if this is not possible as written. The first barbell should be challenging, but you should be able to hold it overhead for an unbroken set. Some athletes may be able to go unbroken in the remaining sets — if you have to break, it should only be once. Keep the runs to 2:15 or less.

Bookended with 1,000-m rows, we have light overhead squats and pull-ups. Choose a weight on the squat that keeps you moving as the reps increase. Similarly, the pull-up modification should be challenging but allow you to maintain high intensity.
