-This will be a difficult WOD to complete. You should try to hang on for larger sets but expect to run at least 5 times.
-Another approach to consider is picking a rep count at the beginning (e.g. 30-40 reps) and maintaining that throughout the duration.
-The movement is Russian Kettlebell Swings rather than American, so the weight will feel a little bit lighter today.

-Start the Lunge at 70% of your 1-rep max Power Clean, increasing in load as desired.
-The 10 Lunges are both legs combined, so you will complete 5 reps on each leg, not 10 reps on each. This should allow you to go a little heavier.

Athlete Notes:
-Great classic CrossFit Couplet today.
-The primary objective today is to complete this workout under the time cap.
-It’s a total of 102 reps of each movement, which is significant volume, especially considering the combination. With that in mind, make sure you scale appropriately.
-The Overhead Squat should be a light weight where you can do big sets.
-On the Toes To Bar, break them up early from the start to ensure you can hold decent sets during the final rounds of 15, 12, and 9. If you need to scale, first start with volume (e.g. 18-15-12-9-6-3). If you need to scale further, you can keep the original rep count and adjust to Straight Legged Raises or Hanging Knee Raises.

Athlete Notes:
-Opening up 2024 with a week of Hero WODs!
-Single-modality workouts like this one are tough, both physically and mentally. Today is about the grind.
-There’s no way around this one, your pace will feel slow. Commit to short breaks (10-15 seconds) and then get back on the box.
-Finishing this work in 50 minutes is pretty aggressive. It means you are completing 20 Step-Ups per minute. But you also want to stay ahead of the clock, for example:
By minute 10:00, aim to be at rep 220
By minute 20:00, aim to be at rep 430
By minute 30:00, aim to be at rep 630
By minute 40:00, aim to be at rep 820
And then just hold on for the last 10 minutes
-If you are close to done at the time cap, move your box out of the way and finish up if you would like.
-Most importantly, select scaling and weight options that suit you. If this is your first time tackling Chad, consider reducing the volume and/or weight. This will still be a grueling workout, even if you do Unweighted Step-Ups, trust us.
