Scaling:
Reduce the load so you can perform multiple reps unbroken and complete all the reps in less than 8 minutes. Athletes less familiar with Olympic lifting should take time to drill the mechanics of the snatch and reduce the load and reps.
Intermediate Option:
Experienced athletes should attempt this workout as written, with an 8-minute timecap.
¾ bodyweight hang power snatches
Handstand push-ups
Rest as needed between rounds.
Scaling:
For each movement, pick modifications that allow you to complete at least 10 reps. Reduce the weight on the snatches so that it is still heavy for you but light enough that you can cycle the reps. Newer athletes should treat today as an opportunity to practice two difficult movements.
Intermediate Option:
5 rounds for max reps of:
2/3 bodyweight hang power snatches
Handstand push-ups
Rest as needed between rounds.
Beginner Option:
5 rounds, not for time of:
10 hang power snatches
10 push-ups
Scaling:
This workout is light and quick. The dose of GHD sit-ups is relatively low, so this is a good opportunity for intermediate athletes to get some exposure to the GHD. Beginners should stick with AbMat sit-ups. Reduce the load on the thrusters so you can do 30 unbroken.
Intermediate Option:
4 rounds for time of:
10 GHD sit-ups
30 thrusters
45 double-unders
♀ 35 lb. ♂ 45 lb.
Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
15 sit-ups
30 squats
45 single-unders
Use a single dumbbell on the snatches and a pair for the thrusters.
♀ 35-lb. DBs ♂ 50-lb. DBs

Scaling:
Reduce the reps and/or loading to complete this workout in 12-15 minutes. Each set of snatches and thrusters should be completed in only 1-2 sets with minimal rest in between.
Scaling:
Heavy overhead squats challenge your strength while demanding solid mechanics and good flexibility. Athletes at all skill levels should attempt overhead squat triples. Experienced athletes can go as heavy as possible, while newer athletes will use this workout as an opportunity to drill the movement, potentially increasing the reps for more practice.
