Scaling:
Beginning athletes can use warm-up time to allow for controlled exposure to the GHD, while choosing abmat sit-ups for the workout portion. Push hard on the monostructural work, aiming to complete a round in 6 minutes or less.

Row 500 meters
Run 400 meters

Scaling:
Today’s workout has a moderate time domain and comprises a single round with decreasing reps and distances. With your midline being a major factor in this workout, expect the GHD sit-ups to interfere with your rope climbs and runs. Advanced athletes should push the pace on the runs and try to go unbroken on the GHD sit-ups. Less-experienced athletes should pace the runs to set themselves up for success with the sit-ups and rope climbs.
Scaling:
Modify the pushing movements to something challenging that decreases in difficulty each round. Athletes of all levels should first develop strength in a strict handstand push-up before performing a kipping handstand push-up.
Scaling:
Newer athletes should reduce the distance on the rower, and modify the GHD sit-up to an AbMat sit-up, but practice the GHD work during warm-up. Intermediate athletes can do this workout as prescribed.
