Take note of the percentages that are listed to use for the workout but don’t feel stuck with them. If you can complete multiple movements with this percentage I suggest you give this workout a go as it’s written and just grind through it assuming you can keep quality position throughout and under fatigue. Otherwise, adjust loading that allows you to do this and keep a steady pace throughout the workout. If you’re looking for some guidance you should be able to do at least 8-10 reps unbroken, with confidence, of any of the movements while you are fresh.
