The intention today is virtuosity in the static holds. Watch “L-Sit Drills” and read “Getting Inverted” to determine what you are capable of today. Aim to hold as long as you are able, while maintaining your best positioning. Count only your working seconds, and transition as needed. Use the row as recovery.

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:
For the strict toes-to-bar, work to to keep the legs together and as straight as flexibility will allow. If you are unable to complete the movement, modify to a strict hanging knee raise, or seated leg raise.

There is no need to modify the structure of this workout. Fatigue will become an issue as the rounds progress, so less fit athletes should decrease the number of rounds. Vary your intensity as the intervals change. When the work times are shorter, row harder.
