Scaling:
Beginner-level athletes can use the warm-up to allow for controlled exposure to the GHD machine, but choose AbMat sit-ups for the workout. Intermediate athletes can reduce the volume on the GHD.

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 consider reducing the overall volume of this workout. Choose a bench press loading that allows you to complete a set of 10 unbroken reps when fresh.
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.
