Scaling:
The metabolic-conditioning portion of the workout is a sprint. Reduce the weight on the thrusters to perform at least 7-10 reps every time you pick up the barbell. If you can go unbroken through the entire set, do so. If you’re new to weightlifting, watch “The Power Clean” and “The Hang Squat Clean,” and start with an empty barbell on the complex. Only add weight if you’re able to maintain proper mechanics.

Globo wod: dumbbell sub 25/40lb dumbbells for the thrusters, and lateral burpees over the dumbbells. For the power clean and hang squat clean if you are using iron plates today build up to a heavy but controllable single on the complex. If you are using dumbbells today, build to a heavy single on the complex as well. If you max the available dumbbells do AMRAP sets.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
One of the things that has been on my mind constantly at our basketball practices is the concept of "feel" and, more importantly, how to teach it. I always get annoyed by the phrase "you can't teach [blank]" so when other coaches say something along the lines of, "These players just don't have that feel for the game," I just assume they left out the part that follows: "So I guess it's on us to coach it then." So far I've had most of my success not with verbal coaching for feel, but rather setting up drills and scenarios, and asking questions that help the player learn it for himself.
I bring this up because the more veteran you get at CrossFit, the more important it becomes to develop a "feel" not only for the workout's dose, but for what your body needs from the prescription. Take this one, for example; aside from the honorary/commemorative part of the workout, the prescription is to fatigue the crap out of every organ, muscle, bone, and neuron in our body, then challenge our jumping power. Twice. Now when you are scaling it, you can just give the obvious Use Less Weight and Do Less Time, or you can listen to what your body is telling you. Am I willing to "go there" for the 21-15-9 segment? Do I have it in me to go "heavy" on the barbell lifts? Would I be better off doing one or the other?
This also applies for movements. Anyone know why the 21-15-9 rep scheme was prescribed? From what I understand, it's basically the most reps Coach Glassman was able to do for thrusters and pull-ups before the intensity decreased, and then same with 15- and 9; juuuuuuust before he'd have to stop due to muscle fatigue, he changed modalities and Pukie was born. Anyone know why burpees have to be over the bar? From what I understand it keeps people jumping honest. Since these movements and workouts are designed to be scientific (meaning predictable/repeatable) if needed, standards have to be the same across the board, and that led to set rep schemes and defined ranges of motion. But not every workout needs that. I'd urge you to try this workout with your "highest" jump on each burpee, or I should say high enough that some random dude walking by would say, "damn, this moron is really into down-ups," but not so high that you lose your rhythm. You are going to punk out on a few reps, you'll overdo it on a few reps, and as a byproduct you'll start to develop a feel for your jumping ability in a way you likely wouldn't mindlessly jumping over a bar. This can be done with the rep scheme and complex in this workout, or any workout you see some up. Ask yourself, "what am I supposed to be feeling and how can I practice that?"
Lastly, when you're in the pressure time of a game (CrossFit's version of a game would be late rounds of Elizabeth, Helen, Filthy Fifty, etc.) I would argue the most prominent thing in our minds is feel. Not technique, not strategy, not rules. Just feel. Better hope you practiced that during less strenuous conditions with plenty of opportunities to make mistakes.
SCALING QUESTIONS
Am I feeling two hard efforts today?
Am I going to keep the first 21-15-9 segment honest with intensity or am I going to use it as a glorified warmup?
What would be the point of doing it anyway if you're not going to push the triplet?
Would I rather switch the order so I can emphasize the barbell movement without being tired? Maybe give yourself a set number of reps to get to before doing the teiplet?
What do I do with the sit-ups? Strict form? Arms help? What about the legs?
