Scaling:
Choose a weight that is appropriately light and plan to break each exercise into multiple sets. Like with her cousin Angie, the goal for Andi is to finish all 400 reps as quickly as possible, so take short breaks that allow continuous movement.
Intermediate Option:
100 hang power snatches
100 push presses
100 sumo deadlift high pulls
100 front squats
♀ 35 lb. ♂ 45 lb.
Beginner Option:
50 hang power snatches
50 push presses
50 sumo deadlift high pulls
50 front squats
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.
Task Tabata
300 reps for time, following the pattern:

10 seconds of rest
20 seconds of push-ups
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds of sit-ups

Reduce the total number of reps to be completed but preserve the 20-on, 10-off interval.
Intermediate Option:
225 reps for time
Beginner Option:
150 reps for time, following the pattern:
20 seconds of ring rows
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds of knee push-ups
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds of sit-ups
10 seconds of rest
20 seconds of squats

Use a single dumbbell on the snatches and a pair for the thrusters.

Scaling:
Reduce the reps and/or loading to complete this workout in 12-15 minutes. Each set of snatches and thrusters should be completed in only 1-2 sets with minimal rest in between.
Scaling:
This is not a full sprint but should still be run at a faster pace than your 5K. Reduce the distance to complete the run in around 15 minutes. Intermediate athletes can perform this run as prescribed.
Scaling:
This workout contains a high volume of two difficult exercises. If you can perform some muscle-ups but not all 55 reps, eliminate the early rounds to reduce the total number of reps. Newer athletes should substitute with both gymnastics pulling AND gymnastics pushing exercises.
Intermediate Option:
7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time of:
Muscle-ups
¾ bodyweight clean and jerks
Beginner Option:
7-6-5-4-3-2-1 reps for time of:
Jumping pull-ups
Knee push-ups
⅓ bodyweight clean and jerks
Scaling:
Reduce the reps and loading so you can complete each round quickly and in nearly unbroken sets. Each round should be a sprint, with rest occurring only in the 3 minutes between rounds. Reduce the total number of rounds to maintain speed rather than slogging through all 5.
Complete as many reps as possible in 21 minutes of:
Run 400/200/100 meters
Max-rep strict pull-ups
Each time you break a set of pull-ups, complete a run. From 0:00-7:00 run 400s, from 7:00-14:00 run 200s, and from 14:00-21:00 run 100s.
Post number of strict pull-ups completed each round to comments.
Scaling:
Choose a pulling exercise that is challenging but allows you to complete at least 10 reps unbroken in the early rounds. If at any point you cannot complete 3 reps unbroken, switch to an easier form of pull-up.
Intermediate Option:
Can be completed as Rx’d
Beginner Option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 14 minutes of:
