"Should I scale this?" isn't a weakness question. It's an athlete question.

Coach Stacy on why scaling well is precision, not compromise — and why the athletes who progress the fastest are the ones who scale with a plan, not their ego.

Partner sit-ups. Hands meet at the top, every rep.

Nobody counts them for you — but somebody's up there waiting. That's the whole thing.

Wednesday's WOD — squats first, then a climb that keeps adding.

STRENGTH
Cluster Back Squat — 3 sets @ 3-3-3
Rest :15 between clusters, 1:30 between sets

CONDITIONING — 9:00 AMRAP
1 Wallwalk (add 1 every round)
5 Burpees to 6" target
30 Double Unders

The wallwalks stack. Round one is easy, round five is the whole workout. Pace the burpees so you still own the wall.

Monday's WOD — strict pull-ups first, then a sprint.

STRENGTH
Cluster Strict Pull-Up — 3 sets @ 3-3-3
Rest :15 between clusters, 1:30 between sets

CONDITIONING — for time

Air Bike calories

You manage your own rest on the clusters — take it, or the last set is a lie. Then hold on: the reps come down fast but the bike doesn't care how you feel about it.

Friday's WOD — five three-minute sprints with your name on them.

Vertical Chief
5 Rounds — AMRAP 3 min
3 Power Cleans (135/95)
6 Handstand Push-Ups
9 Air Squats
1 minute rest between AMRAPs

Every round starts back at the power cleans. Goal is 5+ rounds per AMRAP — the rest is part of the work, not a break from it. Pace round one like you have four more, because you do.

Holding a 60-second stretch before you lift? That might be working against you.

Coach Mel breaks down what 104 studies say about static stretching before strength and power work — and what to do instead in your warm-up.

That 2 PM wall isn't telling you to get another coffee.

Coach Mel breaks it down on the blog: stimulation and clarity are two different things. One makes you feel faster. The other actually makes you sharper. And the fix is built on sleep, movement, and how you organize your day — not what's in your cup.
