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.

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.

Intermediate option:
For time:

20 GHD sit-ups (to parallel)
3 rope climbs, 15 feet
800-meter run
15 GHD sit-ups (to parallel)
2 rope climbs
400-meter run
10 GHD sit-ups (to parallel)
1 rope climbs
200-meter run

Beginner option:
