Scaling:
Reduce the load on the front squat to a challenging set of 5 for you, while still allowing you to complete each set unbroken. Similarly, on the HSPU, choose a modification that is more challenging than the last time we performed HSPU’s.

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.
Intermediate Option:
3 rounds of:
10 kipping handstand push-ups
10 dumbbell hang power cleans
30 double-unders
50 Sit-ups.
Deadlift moderate load, 15 reps (use full size plates).
Push-ups off dumbbells, 25 reps.
Deadlift same load with 25 pound plates, 15 reps
Push-ups off dumbbells, 20 reps.
Deadlift same load with 10 pound plates, 15 reps
Push-ups off dumbbells, 15 reps
Deadlift same load with 5 pound plates, 15 reps
Push-ups off dumbbells, 10 reps
50 Sit ups
Notes:
1. The idea with the deadlifts is to increase the range of motion
CAREFULLY with increasingly deeper (smaller plates) deadlifts.
2. Use super-strict form on the push-ups and sink LOW!
3. Move through with little to no rest.
3 sets of shoulder presses, ⅔ body weight

3 sets of strict pull-ups
3 sets of push jerks, ⅔ body weight
