Scaling:
In this workout, we deconstruct the dumbbell thruster into the push press and the front squat before combining them again — all paired with a test of leg and core stamina in the box jumps and GHD sit-ups.

This dumbbell chipper starts fast and gets a bit sticky in the front squats. In order to finish in sub-15 minutes, you will need to keep moving on the thrusters, stringing together big sets.

The accumulation of work becomes evident when you start your first couple of thrusters. Dig in and go big for the finish!

The goal is to be done around the 20-minute mark.
