Stimulus and Strategy:
In today’s workout, the repetitions in each round are few enough that you can move through rounds relatively quickly. Aim for a single round to take no more than about 2 minutes. Try to go unbroken through as many sets as possible, however, as grip becomes an issue, break up the toes-to-bars as needed and manage your rest time.
Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbell and volume of the push-ups and toes-to-bars.
To reduce the complexity of the push-ups, consider performing push-ups from the knees or with the hands elevated to a 30-inch box. For the dumbbell snatches, consider performing hang dumbbell snatches. For the toes-to-bars, reduce the height of the toes or consider knees-to-chests or hanging knee raises.
However, if you have toes-to-bars, but 10 reps per round is too many, reduce the reps to no less than 5. This is a great way to practice and develop the movement.
In case of injury or limitation, perform dumbbell cleans for the dumbbell snatches, dumbbell floor presses for the push-ups, and consider V-ups or sit-ups for the toes-to-bars.
