Post reps to comments.

Scaling:
Today we have an ascending ladder of ring dips and burpees paired with a consistent number of hang power cleans. The load of the barbell is moderately heavy and should allow you to complete 5 reps in 2 sets or less. Advanced athletes may be able to maintain unbroken reps throughout the workout. Athletes performing the ring dips as prescribed should be able to maintain consistent sets of 3-5 unbroken reps. Expect the ring dips and burpees to cause localized muscle fatigue and the hang power cleans to be a welcomed “break.” Work hard and have fun today!

Intermediate option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 12 minutes of:
1 ring dip

21-18-15-12-9-6-3 reps for time of:
Alternating dumbbell snatches
Ring dips
L-sit hold on the rings (perform seconds instead of reps)

♀ 35-lb dumbbell
♂ 50-lb dumbbell

Post time to comments.

Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a saucy little number. Push to complete this effort in 15 minutes or less. The loading of the dumbbell should allow you to complete all sets unbroken. For the ring dips, choose a scaling option that allows you to maintain consistent sets of 5 reps or more without excessive rest between sets. The L-sit hold option you choose should allow you to complete each effort in 2 sets or less.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbell to maintain unbroken reps. If you can perform the prescribed movements, but the volume is too much, consider reducing the reps and seconds to 14-12-10-8-6-4-2.

To reduce the complexity of the dumbbell snatch, perform the movement from the hang position. On the ring dips, lower the rings so your feet can touch the floor and add assistance where you need it throughout the range of motion. You can perform a jumping ring dip or a foot-assisted strict ring dip. For the L-sit holds, consider bending one or both legs. You can even come off the rings and perform your holds in a more stable position like on a pair of boxes or dumbbells. If you are unable to perform a variation of the L-sit hold, substitute seated leg raises.

In case of injury or limitation, perform a dumbbell clean or a single-arm kettlebell swing in place of the snatch. For the ring dips, consider a push-up or single-arm dumbbell floor press or bench press. For the L-sit hold, consider sit-ups or a plank hold.

Intermediate option:
14-12-10-8-6-4-2 reps for time of:
Alternating dumbbell snatches
Ring dips
L-sit hold on the rings with legs bent (perform seconds instead of reps)

♀ 20-lb dumbbell
♂ 35-lb dumbbell

Beginner option:
12-10-8-6-4-2 reps for time of:
Alternating dumbbell snatches
Foot-assisted ring dips
Seated leg raises

♀ 10-lb dumbbell
♂ 15-lb dumbbell

Coaching cues:
On the rings, lift your chest to help maintain your L-sit hold. If your chest and gaze drop, your hips will shift back slightly, making it more difficult to keep your legs parallel with the ground. Conversely, a tall posture keeps your hips forward, reducing the effort required to lift your legs.

Open Workout 19.3

For time:
200-foot dumbbell overhead lunge
50 dumbbell box step-ups

200-foot handstand walk

♀ 35-lb dumbbell and a 20-inch box

Compare to 190308.

Stimulus and Strategy:
The 2025 Open is right around the corner and today’s workout is a retest of a previous Open workout. If you have completed this workout before, check your score. There is no time cap on today’s effort, however, the goal is to finish in 15 minutes or less.

Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbell and the height of the box. Reduce volume of handstand push-ups to something you can complete in 10 sets or less. Athletes can also reduce the distance of both the lunges and the handstand walk.

To reduce the complexity of the lunge and the step-ups, consider performing both or either without a dumbbell. If you cannot perform a strict handstand push-up, use an elevated stable riser as a target, or perform a pike push-up, dumbbell shoulder press, or a push-up. For the handstand walk, consider putting your feet on a box and walking two to three times around the box on your hands or substituting with a bear crawl. You can also perform inchworms as another option.

In case of injury or limitation, perform the lunge with the dumbbell in the front rack position or without a dumbbell. Same for the box step-ups — perform these without a dumbbell or to a lower box. For the strict handstand push-up, consider a single-arm shoulder press or push-up from the knees. For the handstand walk, you could perform a bear crawl. If necessary, performing 20 to 30 calories on any machine is also an option.

Intermediate option:
For time:
200-foot dumbbell front-rack lunge
50 dumbbell box step-ups
50 strict handstand push-ups to a 5-inch riser
200-foot bear crawl

♀ 35-lb dumbbell and a 20-inch box
♂ 50-lb dumbbell and a 24-inch box

Beginner option:
For time:
200-foot dumbbell front-rack lunge

50 double-dumbbell shoulder presses
200-foot bear crawl

♀ 10-lb dumbbell and a 12-inch box
♂ 20-lb dumbbell and a 20-inch box

Coaching cues:
On the strict handstand push-ups, focus on lowering your head to a position in front of your hands. Then, as soon as your head touches the ground, squeeze your belly, press through the floor, and push your head in line with your arms.
