Scaling

  • Shuttle Run: Reduce distance to allow athletes to have rest at the end of each round.
  • Squat Clean: Stay on the lower end of the percentage if form is faltering. Scale to Power Cleans if athletes cannot squat due to injury or inexperience, but not because athletes are less comfortable squat cleaning than power cleaning.

Coach Focus: The stimulus of running and heavy barbell is sure to provide a gassy stimulus, but coaches need to remind athletes that the run isn’t simply a casual jog back and forth, but rather we want to see athletes RUNNING. If you have athletes who are less confident with their percentage work, you can shorten the shuttle distance to allow for more time on the barbell/less fatigue. Every athlete should have rest at the end of each round. While not ideal, if necessary, scale on the fly to ensure there is rest each round.
