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
Scaling:
Deconditioned athletes should reduce the overall volume and select a load for the kettlebell that allows you to complete the first round in 2-3 sets. Experienced athletes should strive to complete all sets unbroken. If you are unable to complete the set of 50 swings in 3 sets or less while maintaining consistent technique, consider reducing the load for the remainder of the workout.
Beginner Option:

100 push presses
100 sumo deadlift high pulls
100 front squats
