Scaling:
If muscle-ups are not yet developed, intensity is less important than facilitating practice and technical refinement. Reduce the reps so you can move through without failing on the gymnastics half of this couplet. Go lighter on the snatches without making the reps too easy; a series of singles is acceptable here.

4 Hang Squat Snatch 85#
9 rds + 2 HSS (finished rnd 10 at 15:15)
MUs weren't going to be a thing, but wanted to keep some of that stimulus. I warmed up with snatch variations up to 95# and settled on the HSS at 85 - knees are feeling pretty rough and that variation allowed some work in the squat while keeping a little weight on. Grip got a good bit of work too.

Sore and tired, not sure what I’m doing today. Wife and I are just going to show up and find somethings to work on.
Subs/scales, everything strict:
7-8 pull-ups
8-7 dips
4 squat snatches, 65lbs
6 rounds exactly = 114 total reps
Technique day
strict mu seated on thin band
95# squat snatches.
needed this today--no clock:)
No and no on this rxd. No rings at the Y. Scaled strict MU to strict pull-ups and strict dips, 5 of each. Reduced weight to 115 lbs. x4 reps.
7 rounds even.
the weight reduction was probably spot on as there were still some wobbly squat snatches and at least one failure in there.
Globo wod: If rings are not available do 5 strict chest to bar pullups and 5 weighted strict bar dips 20/10lb dumbbell (or strict TRX dips, if you have one). If you have rings but not strict muscleups do strict chest to ring false grip pullups, transitions (assisted as needed), and strict ring dips. You may need low and high rings for this. You can also do strict bar muscleups if your pullup bar setup allows if you don't have rings. Dumbbells sub 8 dumbbell squat snatches alternating 75/50 lb dumbbell. Scale as necessary.
Thank you so much Steven!

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Again, this is one of those workouts that might be clarified if you look at it through a lens of a "CrossFit-specific" workout - meaning this combination and rep scheme is really unique to someone who is a veteran CrossFit athlete, or someone who competes in CrossFit. A workout like Nasty Girls would be a little different, in my view, because you could take athletes from a lot of different sports and have them do it with little modification to get a similar stimulus. This one would need major modification for even someone like me to get the dose that an elite Games dude would get. In 2009 I got pulled into the lure of trying to get better at CrossFit for the sake of being better at CrossFit instead of using CrossFit to help me get better at everything else. This is one of those workouts that can tempt us to get lost in those weeds. We want to get better at: Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Accuracy, Agility, and Balance. We don't want to get better at snatches and muscle-ups; we want to use snatches and muscle-ups to help us get better at Endurance, Stamina, Strength, Flexibility, Power, Speed, Coordination, Accuracy, Agility, and Balance, and they will help us get better at those things as long as we scale them a certain way.
WORKOUT THEMES
