5 rounds for time of:
Row 350♀ / 500♂meter in as few pulls as possible.
After each row, perform 2 double-unders for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 80 double-unders before starting the next round.
Post time and number of pulls each round to comments.
Scaling:
This workout encourages hard pulls on the rower. Increase the damper setting and slow your cadence to minimize the number of pulls each round.
Intermediate Option:
5 rounds for time of:
Row 350♀ / 500♂meter in as few pulls as possible.
After each row, perform 1 double-under for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 40 double-unders before starting the next round.
Beginner Option:
3 rounds for time of:
Row 350♀ / 500♂meter in as few pulls as possible.
After each row, perform 2 single-unders for each pull taken — e.g., if it takes 40 pulls on the rower, complete 80 single-unders before starting the next round.

(32-30-28-26-27 pulls, trended well until that last round. Held below a 2:00/500m even with big rest after each pull. Didn't really warm-up jumpripe much before hand and had a good amount of trips, but doesn't bother me much because the goal was to pull really hard and I feel like I did that for my size on the rower. Cudos to those who could get close 20 pulls, dang.)

I do not have access to a rower.
I have two 44 lb kettlebells.
Adapting this workout to sumo deadlift high pulls what rep scheme would you recommend?
A common approach is to do 1 rep for every 10 m, as stated here: "Sumo deadlift high pulls can take the place of a rowing machine. Use 45 lb. for men and 35 lb. for women, and count each rep as 10 m"

Globo scale: as rxed. Rower subs: 4 rounds of run 400m or 20/25 cal assault bike. If you are using a treadmill for runs use a slight incline. Instead of strokes take your time in seconds and divide by two. Do that many double unders before the next round. Cap the double unders at something you can do fresh in under two minutes. Double under subs include tuck jumps, jump Double taps, or 1 burpee for every 4 Double under (last resort)
Busy gym: do all 5 intervals, rest 2-3 minutes between each. Add up strokes (or seconds divided by 2 if subbing) and perform all Double unders (or sub) after all intervals are completed.
Bodyweight/equipmentless scale: follow the running sub today.
Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
I always have a tough time gauging rowing workouts because we don't have rowers (we had one, the roof leaked on the monitor, fixed it, moved it to a different place, roof leaked on it again). It's one of those things that I concede the loss of a great conditioning tool in favor of doubling-down on running. I really place running at the top of our hierarchy and almost always sub it for rowing instead of sdhp. That being said, rowing is a different animal. The one thing I wouldn't understand about this workout is that it seems like it would reward bad habits on the rower (slow stroke rate). It would be like saying to do two double-unders for every step taken in a 400m run; you could really bound and mess your cadence up just to do 8 less double-unders. But I do like the theme of one exercise determining the output of another.
MAIN DECISION
Do I try to keep the format or just get boring and do an AMRAP in 20 minutes of rowing and double-under practice?
WORKOUT THEMES
Monostructural, jumping with elasticity and accuracy, one movement determining output of another.
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Boring it is! 5 rounds of row 2:00, jump rope practice 2:00
CONSISTENCY SCALE
More boring! 2 rounds of 5-min rowing practice, 5-min jump rope practice
INTENSITY SCALE
5 rounds of:
Row 500 meters
30 box jumps (touch-and-go)
*rest as needed between rounds
INJURY SCALE
Stick to the theme of one movement determining the output of another. Pick one thing with accuracy and one thing without (or very little). Every mess up on the accuracy movement (bottom-up kb press flips over, for example) you add to the other movement (sit-ups, for example). Try for something around 15 minutes.
MY STUFF
Crap... totally forgot my time. I think it was 13:something. I did 400m runs and did one-foot jump ropes or running jump rope for every digit (1:32 = 132 singles), or half on doubles.
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: I honestly don't know. I'd defer to Mel or someone else here.
Between 5 and 8. Fear level dependent on how good you are at double-unders. If you're good at them, this workout shouldn't really scare you. Pull hard on the rower and knock out your dubs. If you suck at dubs, or they really jack up your heart rate, you will not be excited about the prospect of 100+ of them each round.
