Scaling:
Most athletes can perform this workout as prescribed. Newer athletes should focus on maintaining sound mechanics rather than trying for max loads.
Scaling:
Pick loads that allow you to attempt to set a PR in the later sets. If you are not comfortable performing very heavy back squats, 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.
Scaling:
Reduce the weight on both exercises. Choose a weight you can use to complete at least 5 push presses when fresh. If you do not yet have a strict pull-up, use a band for assistance or perform ring rows.
Intermediate Option:
Five 3-minute rounds of:
10 push presses
Max-rep weighted strict pull-ups
Rest 2 minutes between rounds. Each round, decrease weight on the pull-ups.
Complete as many rounds as possible in 15 minutes of:
10 wall-ball shots
10 toes-to-bars
10 box jumps
♀ 14-lb ball, 20-in box
♂ 20-lb ball, 24-in box

Scaling:
Choose modifications that allow you to complete each set with minimal rest. Intermediate athletes can do this workout as prescribed, while deconditioned athletes should limit the number of rounds.
Beginner Option:
4 rounds for time of:
10 wall-ball shots
10 hanging knee raises
10 box jumps
Scaling:
The hang squat clean is a good opportunity to practice full hip and leg extension, and speed under the bar. Ideally, each set will be as heavy as possible for 3 reps, but newer athletes should start light and slowly add weight as they are comfortable.
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 400, from 7:00-14:00 run 200, and from 14:00-21:00 run 100.

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.
Beginner Option:
Complete as many reps as possible in 14 minutes of:
Jog 200 meters
10 ring rows
15 strict handstand push-ups
15 strict ring dips
1,000-m row

Scaling:
Modify the gymnastics movements while keeping it challenging. Each round will likely need to be broken into multiple small sets, particularly as you fatigue in the later rounds. This is a high-volume workout, so newer athletes may choose to reduce the reps and/or rounds.
Intermediate Option:
5 rounds for time of:
10 strict handstand push-ups
10 strict ring dips
1,000-m row
Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
15 assisted push-ups
15 assisted ring dips
750-m row
