Scaling:
Experienced athletes should pick loads that allow them to attempt to set a PR in the later sets. Newer athletes should maintain the single repetitions of the clean and jerk, but focus on mechanics for each rep.
Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:
3 rope climbs, from seated to 10 ft.
50 double-unders
Post rounds completed to comments.
Scaling:
This difficult version of a rope climb requires athletes to start each climb in a strict L-position until they are high enough to use their feet. Intermediate athletes may need to reduce the total reps or scale to an easier version. Newer athletes should choose a pulling exercise that still uses a rope.
Intermediate Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:
3 strict rope climbs, 12-ft rope
50 double-unders
Beginner Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:
3 rope climbs, from seated to standing

If you do not yet have a muscle-up, read "The Muscle-up" and practice the transition from the pull-up to the dip. During the workout, modify the movement to a pull and a push.
Intermediate Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
7 muscle-ups

Post number of reps and loads to comments.
Scaling:
Beginners should practice time inverted, either in a handstand or with assistance. Athletes of all levels should first develop the strength in a strict handstand push-up before performing a kipping handstand push-up.
Beginner Option:
3 max sets of push-ups
Shoulder press 3-3-3-3-3 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:
The biking in this longer AMRAP will not interfere with your ability to pull, so ride hard. The pull-up complex should be completed unbroken for the first several rounds, so reduce the loading and reps if that is not feasible. For the weighted pull-ups, use a dumbbell between your ankles that you can jettison while staying on the bar for the remaining reps.
Intermediate Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 30 minutes of:
1,000-m bike
2 weighted pull-ups, ♀20 lb/♂30 lb

6 kipping pull-ups
Beginner Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 30 minutes of:
1,000-m bike
10 banded or jumping pull-ups
Scaling:
Beginner-level athletes should choose a weight they can push jerk with solid mechanics rather than focusing on the percentage of their body weight.

Scaling:
If you don’t have a partner, reduce the toes-to-bar reps to 10 and perform only 1 clean and jerk per round. Newer athletes should reduce the loading and modify the toes-to-bars.
