16:53 as rx’d. Pistols to a 12” pad and wearing squat shoes. Pistols really gas me. Was thinking 20m for this until I saw some of y’all’s times. Anything close to 10m on this is nuts. I probably couldn’t do that with air squats!

Good WOD. I am/ was very stiff and my right ankle was way more stiff and inflexible. Kinda hurt doing right side. Left side was deeper in ROM and got easier.
Good WOD.
I completed in about 15:07
I averaged steadily about 1:00 for 10 pistols and 20 DUs.
Not too bad overall.
Good quickish workout after watching Brady’s swim team at Sectionals.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
The main adjustment that has helped me with scaling since starting these notes is I've found that adding volume works better for beginners/intermediate people rather than subtracting volume - in most cases. This workout would be a short- or medium-duration workout for a Games dude, but that's based on skill more than work capacity; they would also be working for just about the entire 12 minutes. Take me, for example, and in the same 12 minutes I'd probably be working 8 of those minutes, and the other 4 would either be resting or adjusting the jump rope or my balance. Assuming a beginner/intermediate athlete would be going slower, I think it helps to increase the time domain or rep count (or both) to get enough practice in. It should be noted I've definitely overdone it with new people before, so I don't always have great judgement on that end. But this is a workout I think it's safe to go well over the intended time domain if coordination/accuracy/agility/balance is the limiting factor.
WORKOUT THEMES
Medium and medium (or maybe short duration). Squatting with unilateral loading, jumping with elasticity and accuracy are also themes. Stamina plays a big factor.
ASSUMED
Again, you are an advanced CrossFit athlete.
MAIN DECISION
Scale for intensity or scale for practice?
TECHNIQUE SCALE
AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
20 double unders
10 pistols (or variations)
CONSISTENCY SCALE
Don't alternate the pistols (so for the set of 10, do all 5 on one side first then all 5 on the other), and double unders have to be unbroken or you restart. If you lose balance on pistol set restart those as well.
INTENSITY SCALE
AMRAP in 12 minutes of:
20 box jumps (touch-and-go)
20 lunges
MY STUFF
Technique scale except did 100 1-foot jump ropes per round
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL: 5
