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.

This is another longer-style workout, but this one involves unloading and carrying equipment forward — grunt work. Similar to Grace, the barbell should be loaded so you can perform multiple reps unbroken. Newer athletes should reduce the duration.
