With a running clock, every minute perform 1 deadlift and add weight. Women increase by 10 lb, men increase by 20 lb after each successful lift.
Start with a 185-lb barbell for women and a 275-lb barbell for men, and deadlift for as long as possible.
Post heaviest deadlift to comments.
Scaling:
Intermediate athletes can maintain the format of this workout, but start with a lighter load in order to get through 10+ rounds. Newer athletes should ignore the clock and spend more time practicing the deadlift.
Continue until time expires, adding 3 handstand push-ups each round and 3 overhead squats every 3 rounds.
♀ 105 lb ♂ 155 lb
Scaling:
Today’s movement combo will tax your overhead position. Reduce the reps on the handstand push-ups and/or reduce the load on the barbell in order to work through the earlier rounds with minimal rest.

Today we are working on high-skill movements. Take a look at “Pistol Variations” and practice proper technique in the single-leg squats. Intermediate athletes can do this workout as written.
Beginner Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 20 minutes of:
2 rope climbs, lying to standing
20 squats
40 single-unders
Scaling:
Experienced athletes should pick loads that allow them to attempt a new PR in the later sets. Newer athletes should maintain the single repetitions of the clean and jerk, but focus on mechanics for each rep.
