Scaling:
This workout contains difficult movements at a low enough volume that they should be performed at a sprint pace. The snatch load should be heavy enough that tap-and-go is not sustainable but light enough that long breaks between reps can be avoided.

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
Burpees
Power snatches
Box jumps
Thrusters
Chest-to-bar pull-ups
♀ 55 lb., 20-in. box
♂ 75 lb., 24-in. box
Hope has the same format as Fight Gone Bad. In this workout you move from each of five stations after a minute. Each round takes five minutes, and a one-minute break is allowed between rounds. The clock does not reset or stop between exercises. On the call of "rotate," the athlete(s) must move to the next station immediately for a good score. One point is given for each rep.

Scaling:
Though identical in structure, each exercise in Hope is considerably more difficult than those in Fight Gone Bad. Try to maintain intensity throughout the 3 rounds by allowing for smaller sets and short breaks during the more challenging movements. Intermediate athletes may choose to attempt this Rx’d, while newer athletes should reduce the difficulty of each exercise.
Beginner Option:
Burpees
Power snatches
Box step-ups
Squats
Ring rows
The Tabata interval is 20 seconds of work followed by 10 seconds of rest for eight intervals. For the L-sit and handstand hold, count the number of seconds maintained in the hold. There is no rest between exercises.
