Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout is a longer effort. Expect this to be more of a grind rather than a sprint through each round. Most athletes should aim to complete around three to four rounds. Choose a load for the dumbbells that allows you to maintain unbroken overhead walks, front-rack carries, and farmers carries.
Scaling:
Reduce the loading of the dumbbells, the distance of the carries, and the volume of AbMat sit-ups and box step-ups.
To reduce the complexity of the chest-to-bar pull-ups, perform a chin-over-bar pull-up, a jumping chest-to-bar pull-up, or a ring row. As for the box step-ups, reduce the height of the box or perform alternating lunges.
In case of injury or limitation, perform single-arm ring rows in place of the chest-to-bar pull-ups. For the AbMat sit-ups, perform plank holds for 30 seconds to 1 minute. If there is an overhead limitation, perform a second front-rack carry or farmers carry.
