Scaling:
General scaling: if you are working on pull ups and HSPU and excellent scale would be performing “Cindy”, the benchmark this workout is modeled after. Otherwise, scaling suggestion are below:
- CTB: Should be unbroken, consider reducing to 4 or 3 reps, but no fewer. If 3 consistent CTB aren’t likely, scale to chin over bar or jumping pull ups
- HSPU: 2 Sets at most. Consider scaling to 5-9 reps depending on the athlete’s proficiency, or scale to push ups
- Lunges: Over-scaling this movement means more CTB and HSPU so scale modestly, if at all. Modify to air squats if lunging isn’t possible.
Coach Focus: each movement needs to be within each athlete’s ability. Fewer reps means more rounds, so often scaling makes this workout “harder”, so be cautious with your scaling.
