Control how you come down! Don't just slide down.
If you aren't ready to do the full wall walk yet you may scale to doing a pike up on a box or bench! You will have the feet on a box or bench in a plank position. You will walk the hands back and pike the hips up. You can also scale to doing this with the knees on the box.
For the burpee pull ups you will perform a burpee and then jump up and do a pull up. For the burpee the chest and thighs must touch the ground at the bottom and your chin must be above the bar at the top.
If you aren't ready to do these with full pull ups, you will do a burpee into a jumping pull up. To do this you will do the burpee, step up onto a box or whatever you are jumping off of and then do the jumping pull up each time. You may also sub just burpee hop overs.
You may also do 6 burpees then 6 ring/trx/supine barbell/upright rows.
For the deadlifts, the dumbbell version is a little lighter so you should definitely use a weight that will allow you to do all 9 reps each time.
The dumbbells will start on the ground. Feet are inside of the hands. Heels down, knees bent slightly, arms are straight and long, chest is up. Only one head of the dumbbell needs to touch the ground at the bottom of each rep.
Drive the heels into the ground as you drive the chest up. Once you are standing completely, you will return by reaching the butt back and hinge the chest forward. Continue pulling the dumbbells back close to the body and keep the chest up!
With the dumbbells stand with your feet a little closer together.
If at any point you are unable to keep a flat back lower the weight.
