Post choice of workout and time to comments.

Scaling:
If choosing Test 1, modify the movements and reduce the dumbbell load to something you can perform quickly and unbroken. This workout is a sprint, and should be scaled to allow for a quick, all-out effort.

If choosing Test 2, be careful of the high volume of each exercise, especially with the GHD. Athletes without exposure to the GHD should drastically reduce the volume. Overall this workout is fairly long, so choose modifications that are still challenging, and plan on having to break each exercise multiple sets.

10 kipping handstand push-ups

For reps:
3 minutes of freestanding shoulder taps in a handstand
3 minutes of legless rope climbs (15 feet)
2 minutes of freestanding shoulder taps in a handstand
2 minutes of legless rope climbs
1 minute of freestanding shoulder taps in a handstand
1 minute of legless rope climbs

Post reps to comments.

Scaling:
Time to get gymnasty. The goal of the freestanding shoulder taps is to reach a point of balance in a handstand and begin the shoulder taps. A rep is counted every time a hand touches a shoulder. Challenge yourself to reach balance before beginning the shoulder taps rather than wildly throwing your feet in the air and frantically looking for a shoulder to tap. If you struggle to find a point of balance freestanding, you are better off practicing against the wall. Performing shoulder taps with your stomach facing the wall will be easier than performing shoulder taps with your back to the wall. Scale the difficulty of the rope climbs to allow yourself at least 1 rep every 20-30 seconds.

Intermediate option:
For reps:
3 minutes of shoulder taps in a handstand against the wall
3 minutes of rope climbs (15 feet)
2 minutes of shoulder taps in a handstand against the wall
2 minutes of rope climbs
1 minute of shoulder taps in a handstand against the wall
1 minute of rope climbs

Beginner option:
For reps:
3 minutes of shoulder taps in a pike position on the floor
3 minutes of pull-to-stands
2 minutes of shoulder taps in a pike position on the floor
2 minutes of pull-to-stands
1 minute of shoulder taps in a pike position on the floor
1 minute of pull-to-stands
