Stimulus and Strategy:

In today’s workout, we have a 10-minute as many rounds as possible of push ups, dumbbell snatches, and toes to bar. The goal is for a single round to take no more than about 2 minutes. Try to go unbroken through as many sets as possible and 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 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.

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.
