Remember: Scaling is Smart
The goal is to maintain the intended stimulus of the workout. Scale appropriately to challenge yourself while maintaining good form and the workout's character.
Tuck pull-ups instead of L pull-ups if needed
Reduce to 3 rounds if struggling
Band assistance on L pull-ups only
Intermediate Success Tips
L pull-ups will smoke your core and grip
Pace yourself - 4 rounds adds up fast
Push-ups are recovery movement
Chalk liberally
