Today was 19.2. This is essentially a repeat of 16.2 with some modifications in the time cap. I was struggling with which workout to do… Solcana has their own scaling structure for gym points and that is really what matters for me. I decided that I would do the Gold version which used Toes to Shoulders (or hands on a higher bar and getting toes to lower bar on the rig) as I knew Hanging Knee Raises would feel too easy. T2S was crazy hard!

Here is what the workout looked like for my scaling option:

Gold 19.2
Beginning on an 8-minute clock, complete as many reps as possible of:
25 Toes-to-shoulder
50 double-unders or 100 single-unders
15 squat cleans (105/75)
25 Toes-to-shoulder
50 double-unders or 100 single-unders
13 squat cleans (135/95)

If completed before 8 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 Toes-to-shoulder
50 double-unders or 100 single-unders
11 squat cleans (155/115)

If completed before 12 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 Toes-to-shoulder
50 double-unders or 100 single-unders
9 squat cleans (185/115)

If completed before 16 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 Toes-to-shoulder
50 double-unders or 100 single-unders
7 squat cleans (205/135)

Stop at 20 minutes.

I finished one full round and 13 reps of the T2S of the second round. It was no joke. I wasn’t able to get into a rhythm for them. The squat cleans felt hard but doable and I’d do a couple touch and go and then a couple one at a time. I think the second round was going to be rough, but I didn’t expect to end so early in the second round.

It was awesome to watch other athletes push hard with one in my class completing the workout with time to spare and a few just barely missing a cutoff but giving it everything they could.
