Work As Heavy As Possible. The goal is to complete the recommended workout as heavily as possible (AHAP). Depending on the instructions for the workout, an athlete may either be allowed to pick up a single weight for the workout or may work up to a heavy weight during the workout.
Scaling:
Most athletes can perform this workout as prescribed. Newer athletes should focus on maintaining sound mechanics rather than trying for max loads.
Practice L-sit for 10 minutes.

Scaling:
Most athletes can attempt the power cleans as prescribed. Newer athletes should start light and treat the early larger sets as practice. More experienced athletes should try for the heaviest load they can at each set of reps.

Scaling:
Heavy overhead squats challenge your strength while demanding solid mechanics and good flexibility. Athletes at all skill levels should attempt overhead squat triples. Experienced athletes can go as heavy as possible, while newer athletes will use this workout as an opportunity to drill the movement, potentially increasing the reps for more practice.
Scaling:
This workout is light and quick. The dose of GHD sit-ups is relatively low, so this is a good opportunity for intermediate athletes to get some exposure to the GHD. Beginners should stick with AbMat sit-ups. Reduce the load on the thrusters so you can do 30 unbroken.
Intermediate Option:
4 rounds for time of:
10 GHD sit-ups
30 thrusters
45 double-unders
♀ 35 lb. ♂ 45 lb.
Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
15 sit-ups
30 squats
45 single-unders
Scaling:
Pick loads that allow you to attempt to set a PR in the later sets. If you are not comfortable performing very heavy deadlifts, add a few reps to each set and drill your mechanics, but try to expose yourself to a load that is relatively heavy for you.
