Intermediate Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
15 dumbbell rows, left arm
15 dumbbell rows, right arm

Experienced athletes should pick loads that allow them to attempt to set a PR in the later sets. Newer athletes can use this session as an opportunity to drill the movement.

Back squat 5-5-3-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 reps
Complete as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
15 deadlifts

Scaling:
A classic combo of deadlifts and pushing. The deadlifts are meant to be light and fast. On the hand-release push-up, descend to the floor in a solid plank, maintain tension, release the hands from the ground, and finally, rise with your chest and hips at the same rate.
Intermediate Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
15 deadlifts
15 hand-release push-ups
♀ 75 lb ♂115 lb
Beginner Option:
Complete as many rounds as possible in 10 minutes of:
10 deadlifts
10 elevated push-ups
Scaling:
This workout contains difficult movements at a low enough volume that they should be performed at a sprint pace. The snatch load should be heavy enough that touch-and-go is not sustainable but light enough that long breaks between reps can be avoided.
Intermediate Option:
9-6-3 reps for time of:
Snatches
Burpee box jump-overs
♀ 24-in box, 115 lb
♂ 30-in box, 155 lb
Beginner Option:
9-6-3 reps for time of:
Snatches
Burpee box step-overs
Scaling:
Intermediate athletes can complete this workout as prescribed and just stop at the 25-minute cap. Choose a medicine ball that allows you to complete the large middle rounds in no more than 3 sets. Consider reducing the number of shuttle runs.
Beginner Option:
6-lb medicine ball, 9-ft target, 25-ft shuttle (out and back counts as 2), lying to standing rope climbs
10-lb medicine ball, 9-ft target, 25-ft shuttle (out and back counts as 2), lying to standing rope climbs
Scaling:
Most athletes can perform this workout as prescribed. Newer athletes should focus on maintaining sound mechanics rather than trying for max loads.
