Scaling:
Reduce the load of the snatches to a weight that is challenging but allows you to complete at least 10 reps unbroken when fresh. Beginners should also scale the volume.
Scaling:
Watch “Pistol Variations” and practice proper technique in the single-leg squats. Reduce or modify the rope climbs to something that allows you to keep moving throughout.

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.
