Scaling:
Reduce the load of the shoulder press. Make sure you can perform at least 3 unbroken reps before breaking. If you are unable to perform ring muscle-ups, practice the movement holding you back (e.g., chest-to-bar pull-up, ring dip, low-ring transitions).

Scaling:
Each interval should be treated as a near-maximal effort and should take no more than 2 minutes to complete. Reduce the distance to achieve the intended stimulus.

Scaling:
This should be a fast-paced couplet that balances strength and precision. Reduce the load of the clean and jerks to complete 3 reps in under 45 seconds. Modify the jump rope and burpee penalty to complete both movements in under 2 minutes each round.

Both athletes complete each round of the ladder on each machine. After each completes the prescribed number of calories for that round, athletes switch machines. Continue up the ladder, adding 3 calories every round until each athlete has completed 30 calories on both the ski erg and bike erg.

Reduce the volume of calories performed to finish the workout in under 30 minutes. Intermediate athletes can perform this workout as prescribed.

♀ 95-lb thrusters, 125-lb hang cleans
♂ 135-lb thrusters, 185-lb hang cleans
Warm up to the prescribed weight and hit a single, maximum-effort set for each movement. Rest as needed between each effort.
Post loads used and reps completed to comments.
Scaling:
Reduce load to perform at least 10 unbroken reps of each movement. Beginners should practice maintaining sound mechanics at moderate loads rather than performing a single-set of maximum reps.
Intermediate option:
For max reps:
Thrusters
Hang cleans
Scaling:
With a high volume of transitions, this workout requires consistent efforts on the kettlebell and box. Reduce the load of the kettlebell to keep all snatches unbroken and modify the burpee box jump-overs to avoid rest breaks between reps.
Scaling:
Reduce the distance of the row to keep each effort under 5 minutes. Reduce the load, and potentially the volume, of the bench presses to maintain sets of 5 or more reps at a time.
