Scaling: All athletes can attempt relatively heavy thrusters. Experienced athletes can go as heavy as possible, and attempt a PR. Newer athletes can use this workout as an opportunity to drill the movement.
Beginner Option:
Thruster 5-5-3-3-3-1-1-1-1 reps
5 rounds for time of:
Row 350♀ / 500♂meter in as few pulls as possible.
After each row, perform 2 double-unders for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 80 double-unders before starting the next round.
Post time and number of pulls each round to comments.
Scaling:
This workout encourages hard pulls on the rower. Increase the damper setting and slow your cadence to minimize the number of pulls each round.
Intermediate Option:
5 rounds for time of:
Row 350♀ / 500♂meter in as few pulls as possible.
After each row, perform 1 double-under for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 40 double-unders before starting the next round.
Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
Row 350♀ / 500♂meter in as few pulls as possible.

Scaling:
Reduce the difficulty so that you can perform multiple reps unbroken when fresh, but not necessarily attempting to string sets together for the entire workout. Ideally, comple all reps in 15 minutes or less. All athletes should choose modifications that work both pulling and pushing strength.

Complete as many reps as possible in 15 minutes:
Strict muscle-ups
