Scaling:
Lifting moderate to heavy loads under duress is a skill, and today’s workout aims to practice just that. This effort is meant to be five sprints with plenty of rest between rounds. Push to finish the calories as quickly as possible, and then work to accumulate as many reps as possible on the deadlift. Expect the barbell to feel heavier than you want it to after finishing on the bike. This is by design. Athletes should choose a weight that allows them to perform at least 5 reps in each round. All athletes should not let their intensity overshadow the importance of lifting with proper technique. Find a load with which you can maintain proper form, even when you are pushing your intensity.
