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:
Modify this workout so you can complete several rounds quickly and without rest. It should tax your legs and midline while challenging your overhead flexibility. This is a good opportunity for intermediate athletes to get some exposure to the GHD sit-up, but they should do so with caution and be mindful of its potency.

Complete as many rounds as possible in 12 minutes of:
10 GHD sit-ups
10 left-arm overhead walking lunges

For the box jumps, prioritize jumping even if it means lowering the height of the box or using a stack of plates and eliminating the jump-over. Select a load for the deadlift that allows you to complete at least 15 consecutive reps when fresh.

3 burpee box jump-overs
3 deadlifts
6 burpee box jump-overs
