Scaling:
Today’s workout is in the short-to-moderate time domain. If you can maintain bigger stretches on the L-sit holds and minimize breaks, you should be close to finishing at the 10-minute mark. To stay within that window, find a variation of the L-sit hold that allows you to consistently hold for 10 to 15+ seconds before breaking. If you can hold your option with ease for 45 seconds to 1 minute, try a more challenging option. The box should be a little taller than you want it to be on the jump-overs, and expect your fatigued hip flexors to make jumping a bit more difficult. Consider stepping down from the top of the box. This is not only a safety concern, it is one way to keep yourself moving at a steady pace.

Scaling:
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.

BodyBuilding: Strict Pullups 5 sets: 6-10 reps *Focus: Control should be shown across sets. Athlete should keep core engaged and avoid kipping. Band across rig is encouraged if strict reps are not possible and should be set at a height that allows for desired number of rep but no more. Rest 90 sec b/t sets
Bent-over Barbell Row 5 sets: 8-10 reps (Increasing weight across sets) - Athletes can use a double overhand or double underhand row. Barbell should not touch the ground between reps and there should be minimal kipping of the bar. *Focus: Strong contraction of the back/pulling back with the elbow not the hands. Barbell should come to the hips/lower abdomen
Single Arm Dumbbell Row 4 sets: 10-12 reps (Increasing weight across sets) - Athlete can brace against a bench, waist height object, or their own body *Focus: Same as Barbell row above
Standing Barbell Curl 4 sets: 10 reps (Weight should allow for quality reps and minimal kipping of bar) *Focus: Shoulder width grip focusing on bicep contraction at top of rep.

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.
