In today’s workout, we’re going to visit three of the “girls” we’ve met in some of our past benchmark workouts: Jackie, Christine, and Cindy. It might be helpful to look back on how you scaled these workouts in the past when choosing scaling options for today’s WOD.
If you are an experienced athlete and feel capable, please perform the following WOD. Note that I suggest performing dumbbell thrusters during the Jackie portion of the workout, so that you don’t have to add plates to the barbell to perform the deadlifts in the next section. If you want to perform barbell thrusters, lay out the plates you’ll need for the deadlifts to make the transition between the girls’ houses quicker and easier.

Please listen to your body, and pick the version of the workout that is right for you. You can always adjust mid-WOD if you find that the modifications you’ve picked are too easy or too difficult.
