Scaling:
In the inverted burpee, rock from a supine position on the floor to standing and then into a controlled handstand. If that is too difficult, move your body through a similar range of motion, from lying to standing to inverted on your hands. Jump to a box that is high for you.
Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
10 box jumps
10 inverted burpees
Scaling:
If you are not proficient in the handstand, review the article “Handstands,” and practice the drills provided as well as the safety tips for bailing out. Reduce the range of motion on the wall walks to a distance you can comfortably support yourself in while inverted. For example, begin the movement in a plank with your feet touching the wall, walk your feet up the wall while keeping both hands on the ground, then walk your feet back to a plank.

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.
