Scaling:
Today’s workout is a pyramid-style workout with a moderately loaded barbell sandwiched between a few bodyweight movements. The management of the power cleans in this workout should be much different from yesterday’s squat snatch workout. Today, the loading should allow you to perform a combination of touch-and-go reps and fast singles. Push to finish the power cleans in 3 minutes or less. As for the GHD sit-ups, if you are not regularly performing this movement, you should scale the reps and range of motion.

Coaching cues:
Relax the quads when you are seated on the GHD. The knees should be bent as you lay back, then squeeze the quads, drive the heels down, and reach for the foot pads to complete the sit-up. This happens on every rep.
