Scaling:
Time to get gymnasty. The goal of the freestanding shoulder taps is to reach a point of balance in a handstand and begin the shoulder taps. A rep is counted every time a hand touches a shoulder. Challenge yourself to reach balance before beginning the shoulder taps rather than wildly throwing your feet in the air and frantically looking for a shoulder to tap. If you struggle to find a point of balance freestanding, you are better off practicing against the wall. Performing shoulder taps with your stomach facing the wall will be easier than performing shoulder taps with your back to the wall. Scale the difficulty of the rope climbs to allow yourself at least 1 rep every 20-30 seconds.

Intermediate option:
For reps:
3 minutes of shoulder taps in a handstand against the wall
3 minutes of rope climbs (15 feet)
2 minutes of shoulder taps in a handstand against the wall
2 minutes of rope climbs
1 minute of shoulder taps in a handstand against the wall
1 minute of rope climbs

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a repeat from a previous CrossFit Open. If you have completed this workout before, look back and try to beat your score. There are two ways to attack: If you are capable of performing the workout as prescribed, but the volume in each round is going to keep you from moving quickly, perform the workout as prescribed and see how far you can get. Alternatively, scale the movements so you can push yourself to complete at least 2 rounds.

10 deadlifts
15 box jumps

♀ 75 lb, 20 inches
♂ 115 lb, 24 inches

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a repeat of an Open workout from 2013. If you competed in 2013, check your score and go for a PR.

Both the load of the barbell and the height of the box should allow you to move through the reps quickly — the load should be light and the cycle time should be fast. A single round should take no more than 2 minutes to complete. Advanced athletes may be able to maintain 1 round per minute (maybe more).

Intermediate option:
Same as Rx’d

Beginner option:
Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 10 minutes of:
5 shoulder-to-overheads
10 deadlifts
15 box jumps

♀ 45 lb, 20 inches
