Scaling Met Con WODs
When a WOD as written is far beyond your capacity whether due to technique or load, it is still achievable. Scale to your ability.
There are several approaches to Scaling for WOs
Re:"Angie" has at its core extreme volume. Which equals local muscle endurance. Under "For Time" it becomes a mixture of Local Muscular endurance and Anaerobic Conditioning.
If this is physically or mentally too much simply scale the reps to half or quarter load. If only one exercise is too demanding simply scales that particular exercise {eg: 50 Pull Ups, 100 Push Ups, 100 Sit Ups, and 100 Squats]
Approaches for Task completion.
Scale in a set rest
: Know you can handle X number of reps at one time, pick a suitable (time) rest period and stick to it until completion.
Ladder Sets
: Pick 3 (usually odd) numbers [eg: 3,5,7] and work them until completion, rest as needed.
Declining Sets
: Blast a Max Set and work declining reps from this figure, rest as needed.
