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.

Post time to comments.

Scaling:
Expect this workout to be a grind and taxing on your grip. Carry the dumbbells however you’d like on the weighted lunges — consider the front-rack position, resting the dumbbells on the shoulders, or the farmers-carry position as potential options. Reduce the dumbbell load to move with limited rest on both movements. If you don’t have dumbbells or kettlebells available, load the lunges and carries with a 30/45-lb ruck or backpack. There are no excuses. If possible, consider performing this workout on a 400-meter track.

Intermediate option:

50-meter weighted lunge
350-meter farmers carry

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a midline march and a bit of a grind. The goal is to hang on to the dumbbells for as long as possible on the farmers carries and complete each round of the GHD sit-ups in 3 sets or less. If you can jog with the weights, do it. Each farmers carry should take no more than 5 minutes to complete. Expect the sit-ups to make the carries a bit more challenging. Focus on standing up taller on the carries to help open up your lungs so you can breathe more efficiently. Less-experienced athletes should reduce the load of the dumbbells, the distance of the farmers carry, and the difficulty of the sit-up. Work hard and have fun today!

Intermediate option:
3 rounds for time:
400-meter farmers carry
20 GHD sit-ups to parallel

♀ 15-lb dumbbells
♂ 20-lb dumbbells
