    Also, be advised that your coach will alter the workout to suit our equipment/space constraints.

    The sub for a 15-foot rope climb is 15 towel pull-ups (or jumping towel pull-ups). Bring a hand towel you can drape over the bar to simulate a rope. This exercise will stress your grip, as would rope climbs.
    The high-rep back squats with a moderate weight will be difficult. Scale intelligently. (Women’s RX’d is 65 lbs). I suggest you scale to 1/3 or less of your 1 Rep Max, so if you can’t back squat 285 for men or 195 for women, drop it down. That many air squats would take a toll. For most people, an empty bar will be more than enough weight.
    The barbell farmers carry will also test your grip. There are plenty of reasonable subs, including dumbbells and kettlebells.
    New Hero WODs’s are always brutal, and this one will be no exception. Good luck!

    That’s a lot of squats, so I can squat about 245, should i scale to 65 pound squats, I am really excited about this one.

    40:15 (15 ring pull-ups, 95#, 95#)
    tip of the day: use bars with a center knurling for the farmers walk to help you find the balance point.

    Has anyone read this journal article: http://journal.crossfit.com/2010/11/conjugate-crossfit.tpl ? It sounds like a great way to combine consistent strength gains with Crossfit WODs. I’m out of town until January, but would anyone be interested in trying the program out for a few weeks? If anyone else has experience with this kind of programming I’d be interested in hearing your thoughts.
