Understand the task
Complete all three rounds of the first couplet before its run, then two rounds of the second couplet and its run, then the final couplet and final run. Each 800 m run occurs after a complete stage.
Pacing and setup
Check the overhead-lunge distance and arrange your dumbbells and bar. Scale the gymnastics before starting and record the actual movement choices for each stage.
Score your session
Record elapsed time from the start to the final completed repetition, including transitions and prescribed rest. If you stop at a training cap, record the work completed instead of a finishing time. Keep the stated movement order and any special rules shown in the programme.
Prepare and adapt
Warm up progressively, then rehearse the listed movements and transitions with lighter loads or easier variations. Choose scaling before the clock starts: adjust load, repetitions, distance or movement difficulty to create a task you can complete with control. These adaptations change the prescription, so record them beside your score.
For a useful retest, repeat the same equipment, distances, loads and movement standards. A result from a scaled version is a training record in its own right; it is not directly interchangeable with the full prescribed task.
