*You can sub beginner rope climbs if you are unable to climb a rope yet.

**If you do not have a rope, towel pullups is the consensus best substitute. For more realism, alternate one hand high, one hand low on the towel. Some folks do towel pulldowns, as well. Standard rope length is 15', and standard substitution is 15 towel pulls. If you cannot do pull ups do jumping towel pull ups.

I did a very scaled version of this workout for three reasons.

#1...time...I only have about 20 minutes in the morning to do these things and 15 towel pullups per rope climb would be something like 180 pullups in round 1. That's nuts!!
#2...my grip just wouldn't last thru over 300 towel pullups.
#3...that's just crazy. Even I am not that good yet!!

One good thing that happened was that I got thru all 21 of the thrusters without stopping on round 1. I did 8 and 7 in round 2, but did all 9 without stopping in round 3.
