Progressed up from option 3 to option 1 using a bar slipped through the rings and then a strap slipped through. Not enough depth for swings. I managed to get up to support with bar but not rings. Inverted tuck pulls were difficult.
2:56 sub 25 sdlhp@22.5kg + 25 burpees

Not a chance! Subscap. hurts when trying to simply do a strict muscleup. Did a couple negative reps. Almost did one with a band but my fear of pain limited commitment so I did 4-5 sets of 1 pull to front lever+1 skin the cat+1 brief front lever+skin the cat+single leg front lever each leg+skin the cat
2:31.6 last time 2:31. Hiked 5 miles yesterday and hammies are feeling the ghd today.

2:18.5 on the 750m row. Anyone else's forearms hurt from practicing the back roll? I used a band across the rings and did a total of maybe 10 repetitions as practice. Same thing has happened before. Want to know what I can to do practice this skill without upsetting my forearms every time. Feels like the bone got twisted or something.

I was able to get one back roll to support. Much, much harder than it looks. And quiet intimidating too. Glad I didn’t give up. Shoulders and elbows are hurting a bit today though.
Biked 1 mile on 2:16 (no rower available).

Love Carl Paoli’s videos & PMC’s Dave Durante! The guys know their gymnastics & can teach it incredibly well! Did a bunch of banded back rolls & skin the cats. One skin the cat to get up & then, a back roll for multiple sets! I need to try with a smaller band & then, I’ll be ready to do it free! Horseback rode before work so I’ll do the 800m sprint later!

i have never been able to do one of these! I get close but it always ends up feeling like I need the strength to bicep curl my bodyweight. I haven’t tried in a very long time so I’m looking forward to doing this.
Also,
Is it just me or are the WOD comments from 2019 not showing up for others also? I see only a few of the most recent comments on each WOD but most are missing. Anyone?

The backward roll to support was tough. I can roll about 80-90% but then can’t keep my hands in front of me and can’t get to the dip. When I use a band it saves me, but I don’t know how to train that. I tried to do a forward roll from support and can’t even get past the tipping point.

no access to rings this morning and my gym doesn’t have a pull-up bar that goes straight across to practice skin the cat. So I took someone’s advice on here and practiced inverted burpees
Globo scale: if you don't have rings or a TRX at your globo or garage, or don't have clearance (overhead space or the Globo won't allow you to do this for "safety" reasons), then practice inverted burpees to handstand, skin the cats on the pullup bar, and shoot throughs on parallelettes (can also be done with two benches or boxes) . For the row, sub a 600m run or 40 calorie assault bike If without a rower.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Carl Paoli had some really good progressions for this a while back on GymnasticsWOD if I remember correctly. Using a band can help give you a platform, and so can a bar. But also practicing push-ups on the rings but going further down to where your hands spin backwards is another great way to practice the strength portions of this.
PURPOSE
I would normally say "strength and conditioning" but with all of the recent workouts in a format similar to this, I am beginning to think the main purpose is to help us learn intensity. It is easy to make a 5k run/row difficult. But it takes a lot of experience/competitiveness to make a 400m run worthy of your only workout of the day. If you have ever gone to "that place" you know 400m is plenty. So here's another chance to practice an all-out 750m row. How close to "all out" can you truly get?
NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
Not this one. Maybe AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
5 strict knees to elbows
5 slow push-ups (deficit if needed)
run something
TRAINING SCALE
See New to CrossFit scale
PRACTICE SCALE
As is.
GROUP SCALE
New to CrossFit scale gives a lot of room for bar/ring space, so I might go there. Actually no. I changed my mind. Do the run first with the group so we can practice that intensity, then 1 minute of strict knees to elbows practice and 1 minute of push-up practice. Repeat 4 rounds and record your fastest run time.
INJURY SCALE
For a lower-body injury pick the first portion and for an upper-body injury pick the second portion. Extend the time/distance your injury is limiting how fast you can go.
WARMUP
Practice backward roll to support on rings
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 6

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
High skill day! Are you a beginner? This is your day! Are you an advanced athlete? This is also your day. If you feel intimidated by this skill, convert that to inspiration. Regardless of how far you are from achieving this skill, we all will benefit from working on it. Check the videos below for ideas on how to scale this for yourself and spend some solid time working on your ring skills. If you do this with purpose and intention, this will be a very productive session. The purpose of today's wod is exactly to practice skills that we don't fully own. Just find the point of the progression that works for you and drill it. Remember, the key to longevity in fitness and hence in life is: skill development forever.
When you are done with the rings, jump on that rower and give it hell.
▶ Power Monkey Fitness (Dave Durante) has an 8 part video series of how to work on this movement. It does not get much better than that, watch it. It starts here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7RM9DLtEbk
▶ CrossFit has posted several videos on this movement, check them out on the playlist for today's workout.
