Scaling:
Grace was first posted on CrossFit.com on June 24, 2004, and Isabel on Nov. 11, 2004. They are two of the fastest CrossFit benchmark workouts — top athletes can complete either of these workouts unbroken and in less than 1:30. Reduce the load as needed so you can perform multiple reps unbroken and complete the workout in less than 10 minutes. Athletes who are less familiar with Olympic lifting should take time to drill the mechanics and drastically reduce the load.

Scaling:
Reduce the load on the power cleans and bench presses. Choose a load on the barbell that allows for moderately heavy singles. Choose a dumbbell load with which you’re able to complete the first 20 in 3 sets or less. The double-under can be modified to 30 lateral jumps over the barbell. For the L-sit hold, watch “L-Sit Drills,” choose a drill, and practice.
