Post time to comments.
Stimulus and Strategy:
Today’s workout contains two rounds with higher repetitions of each movement. With higher reps, manage your pace and move to rest minimally during your breaks. Athletes who want a challenge should go unbroken on the snatches and go right into the lunges. If you choose this route, buckle up and enjoy the ride. For the dumbbell lunges, carry the dumbbell however you like.
Scaling:
Reduce the load of the dumbbell. Reduce the repetitions of each exercise.
To reduce the complexity of the dumbbell snatches, perform hang dumbbell snatches. For the dumbbell lunges, perform without a dumbbell. For the lateral burpees over the dumbbell, perform burpees in place.
In case of an injury or limitation, for the dumbbell snatches, perform kettlebell swings or dumbbell cleans if there is an overhead limitation. For the dumbbell lunges, consider dumbbell step-ups to a low box or air squats to a target. For the lateral burpees over the dumbbell, perform up-downs.
