Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout has three movements organized in a descending rep scheme. Aim to move through as quickly as possible while minimizing your breaks. The loading of the dumbbell should be moderate to heavy. This may require you to reset and switch hands with the dumbbell on the floor. Following the dumbbell snatches, pay attention to your grip on the toes-to-bars. If you break, count to five, then jump back up on the bar.
Scaling:
Reduce the load of the dumbbell. Reduce the reps of the toes-to-bars and burpees.
To reduce the complexity of the toes-to-bars, reduce the range of motion. Consider performing knees-to-chests or hanging knee raises. For the dumbbell snatches, perform them from the hang position.
In case of injury or limitation, perform V-ups or AbMat sit-ups in place of the toes-to-bars. For the burpees, perform up-downs. For the dumbbell snatches, perform Russian kettlebell swings.

Coaching cues:
With the heavier dumbbell snatch in today’s workout, focus on keeping the working arm straight through the middle of the movement. Then, as the hips extend, pull the elbow high and outside, and push the dumbbell to the sky.
