    Scaling options for today’s workout, courtesy of the CrossFit BrandX forums:
    So this workout scales itself. Most everyone should be a Big Dawg today and tackle this WOD.
    Puppies:
    6 minutes Handstand push-ups
    3 minutes Squats
    2 minutes Pull-ups
    1 minute Push-ups
    If you cannot do Handstand push ups there are some scaling ideas here:

    If you cannot do Pull ups there are some scaling ideas here:
    Beginner and assisted pull ups. Do not do Jumping Pull ups.

    Brett,
    It felt surprisingly good. Based on that, I suspect that I should have gone harder/faster on the squats portion. I felt great afterwards. It seems to me to be a clever bit of programming. The time in all four rounds just flew by, but you get a nice five minute rest between the HSPU and the Pull-ups. Arms were toast by the push-ups however…

  • Brett_nyc

    Thanks Kirk. The 10min of HSPU frightens me.

  • Paul

    359 reps with a vest is just stupid.

    I feel like I did something wrong with this WOD if I got 355, even if it was scaled. My breakdown was (120, 170, 40, 25) Maybe I should have done HSPU with 2 abmats instead of 3? Or maybe I’m just that awesome. Just kidding.

  • Lisa

    Kirk, I saw your impressive score on the whiteboard at lunch today – nice job!
    I got exactly 100 fewer: 26, 150, 12, 16 = 204
    HSPU’s were with 3 abmats.
