Do the same for the other exercises?

Each minute, add a rep. So in the 1st minute, 1 rep, in the 2nd min, 2 reps, in the 3rd min, 3 reps, etc. until you cannot complete the number of reps in the minute time span.
Then rest 3 min and repeat the whole ladder with the next exercise, starting at 1 rep in the 1st minute.

I was a little time limited this morning, so I ended my rounds when things got difficult, rather than pushing for failure. Even so, the first two rounds impacted my push-ups more than I expected!!
I also cut the time between rounds to 1 minute.
HSPU-7 rounds (did these from my feet off my bed)
Dips-6 rounds (straight leg chair dips)

Obviously weaker in my shoulders, but I also did a shoulder/biceps/triceps workout yesterday
In colloquial crossfittish we call this ladders "death by." I am ll for taking this kind of negative connotation from our workouts. Our objective is always to bring life and health to our lives. And it is true we also want to separate from that "CrossFit will kill you" silly bravado image we created the young ages of our discipline. However, I think the name here is pretty fitting. We are looking to get your muscles to the point of exhaustion. This rep scheme allows us to get to that place not by a single bout, but by the accumulation of smaller bouts. It is very productive, but it has to be managed with care. The edge of muscular exhaustion is where mechanics break, and compensations start happening. In a workout like this, some level of this is unavoidable. However, you can keep it to the very a very minimum, by breaking your sets early and often, and by being diligent. Just avoid failure, and keep avoiding failure, until you can't. Because the call is for an accumulation of reps, modify the movement so that you can get beyond the 10 minute round on each movement. Beyond that, it will be over soon. Try to preserve the beautiful play of angles here. Focus on the shoulder joint, make sure you are pressing from as many different and complementary angles as possible. Move well, and stay smart!
Great Workout, just hooking back into .com after a 6 year hiatus :)

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
The "death by" workouts like this are really good chances for us to analyze as the workout goes along - both with the rest in the early sets and the rest in between exercises for this specific workout. Mainly, these allow us to test our tolerance for fatigue. In this one, stamina will be the main limiting factor, and once your arms go, they go. But since dips and handstand push-ups can be kipping, our skill might be able to carry us through some fatigue.
MAIN DECISION
Am I willing to set time aside to do this entire thing?
NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
Same format but I'd keep push-ups then add two more movements that aren't as fatiguing to one particular muscle group. Maybe row (calories) and box jumps.
WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS
Pushing - overhead, inverted
Pushing again - down-range
Pushing again, again - mid-range
WHAT ABOUT THE REPS
This rep scheme really gives us a slow case study in stamina.
LEARN TO COOK
I think most of the learning happens during the workout. Try to keep the "death by" format if at all possible.
I DON'T WANT TO COOK, JUST GIVE ME FOOD

Hmmm good question, I understand it that 1 handstand rest 3 mins. Then 1 dip rest 3 mins an keep building from there. I don't think its an emom. I can be wrong?

HSPU= 1 hspu the first min. 2 hspu the second min. 3 hspu the third min. 4 the 4th min until you can not complete anymore hspu.
Rest 3 min.
1 dip the first min. 2 dips the second min. 3 dips the third min until you can not complete anymore dips
rest 3 min
Then the same with push ups.
So if on minute 6 and you only complete 5 hspu, you stop there, rest 3 min and go on to dips.

It’s a “death by”. So one hspu in the first minute, two hspu in the second minute, three in the third minute, continuing that pattern as long as possible. Once you fail, ie 8 hspu in the 9th minute, you stop and rest for 3 minutes.
repeat with dips. Rest 3 min. Repeat with pushups.

Depends on how good you are at hspu. And if you decide to do them strict. But mark my words, if you’ve ever done J.T. you know these will be some of the hardest pushups you’ve ever done.

▶ INTENDED STIMULUS
In colloquial crossfittish we call this ladders "death by." I am ll for taking this kind of negative connotation from our workouts. Our objective is always to bring life and health to our lives. And it is true we also want to separate from that "CrossFit will kill you" silly bravado image we created the young ages of our discipline. However, I think the name here is pretty fitting. We are looking to get your muscles to the point of exhaustion. This rep scheme allows us to get to that place not by a single bout, but by the accumulation of smaller bouts. It is very productive, but it has to be managed with care. The edge of muscular exhaustion is where mechanics break, and compensations start happening. In a workout like this, some level of this is unavoidable. However, you can keep it to the very a very minimum, by breaking your sets early and often, and by being diligent. Just avoid failure, and keep avoiding failure, until you can't. Because the call is for an accumulation of reps, modify the movement so that you can get beyond the 10 minute round on each movement. Beyond that, it will be over soon. Try to preserve the beautiful play of angles here. Focus on the shoulder joint, make sure you are pressing from as many different and complementary angles as possible. Move well, and stay smart!

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
The "death by" workouts like this are really good chances for us to analyze as the workout goes along - both with the rest in the early sets and the rest in between exercises for this specific workout. Mainly, these allow us to test our tolerance for fatigue. In this one, stamina will be the main limiting factor, and once your arms go, they go. But since dips and handstand push-ups can be kipping, our skill might be able to carry us through some fatigue.
MAIN DECISION
Am I willing to set time aside to do this entire thing?
NEW TO CROSSFIT SCALE
Same format but I'd keep push-ups then add two more movements that aren't as fatiguing to one particular muscle group. Maybe row (calories) and box jumps.
WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENTS
Pushing - overhead, inverted
Pushing again - down-range
Pushing again, again - mid-range
WHAT ABOUT THE REPS
This rep scheme really gives us a slow case study in stamina.
LEARN TO COOK
I think most of the learning happens during the workout. Try to keep the "death by" format if at all possible.
I DON'T WANT TO COOK, JUST GIVE ME FOOD
Sub dumbbell press for handstand push-up and feet-assisted dips for dips
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5
Hmmm good question, I understand it that 1 handstand rest 3 mins. Then 1 dip rest 3 mins an keep building from there. I don't think its an emom. I can be wrong?
HSPU= 1 hspu the first min. 2 hspu the second min. 3 hspu the third min. 4 the 4th min until you can not complete anymore hspu.
Rest 3 min.
1 dip the first min. 2 dips the second min. 3 dips the third min until you can not complete anymore dips
rest 3 min
Then the same with push ups.
So if on minute 6 and you only complete 5 hspu, you stop there, rest 3 min and go on to dips.
It’s a “death by”. So one hspu in the first minute, two hspu in the second minute, three in the third minute, continuing that pattern as long as possible. Once you fail, ie 8 hspu in the 9th minute, you stop and rest for 3 minutes.
repeat with dips. Rest 3 min. Repeat with pushups.
Three "Death by" workouts with 3 minutes between each. Death by HSPU, rest 3 minutes, Death by dips (ring or bar) rest 3 minutes, Death by Pushup.
Ohhh, thank you so much for breaking it down for me lol.
Am I thinking of this wrong or is this workout gonna take a long time?
It will be pretty long. If I understand correctly, it is basically 3 ascending EMOMs (1-2-3-...) until failure with 3 min rest in between.
Depends on how good you are at hspu. And if you decide to do them strict. But mark my words, if you’ve ever done J.T. you know these will be some of the hardest pushups you’ve ever done.
Might put on a weighted vest to shorten this one
