For time:
5 rope climbs to 15 feet
25 deadlifts
50 wall-ball shots
200-foot farmers carry
50 wall-ball shots
25 deadlifts
5 rope climbs to 15 feet
♀ 155-lb barbell, 50-lb dumbbells, 14-lb medicine ball to a 9-foot target
♂ 225-lb barbell, 70-lb dumbbells, 20-lb medicine ball to a 10-foot target
Scaling:
Today’s pyramid workout is going to be a grind with each movement effectively fatiguing the following movement. For example, the rope climbs will affect your grip during the deadlifts, while the deadlifts will tax your legs for the wall-ball shots, and so on. Advanced athletes can push to finish under 12-13 minutes. However, expect most to complete today’s workout in the 15- to 20-minute range. Choose scaling and loading options that allow you to keep moving consistently. Use a load for the deadlifts that will allow you to complete them in 3 or less sets the first time through.
Intermediate option:
For time:
5 rope climbs to 12 feet

Scaling:
This chipper has long sets of each exercise which will test your stamina. Reduce the reps and modify so that each portion is challenging but allows you to keep moving with short breaks.
Continue until time expires, adding 3 handstand push-ups each round and 3 overhead squats every 3 rounds.
♀ 105 lb ♂ 155 lb
Scaling:
Today’s movement combo will tax your overhead position. Reduce the reps on the handstand push-ups and/or reduce the load on the barbell in order to work through the earlier rounds with minimal rest.
