Post choice of workout and time to comments.

Scaling:
If choosing Test 1, modify the movements and reduce the dumbbell load to something you can perform quickly and unbroken. This workout is a sprint, and should be scaled to allow for a quick, all-out effort.

If choosing Test 2, be careful of the high volume of each exercise, especially with the GHD. Athletes without exposure to the GHD should drastically reduce the volume. Overall this workout is fairly long, so choose modifications that are still challenging, and plan on having to break each exercise multiple sets.

Today we have a longer chipper-style workout. Expect the kettlebell swings and knees-to-elbows to play off of each other in an interesting way. Use a kettlebell that allows you to perform each section in 2 sets or less. You should always be able to complete at least 5 knees-to-elbows throughout the workout. Aim to complete each run in 5 minutes or less. Work hard and have fun today.
