Scaling:
This variation of the classic workout, Nicole, calls for strict pull-ups. If you have strict pull-ups, but are unable to perform at least 7 reps, begin each set with strict pull-ups until failure, and then stay on the bar for kipping pull-ups. If you do not yet have strict pull-ups, one option is to use a band and perform banded strict pull-ups.

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

Reduce the load of the shoulder press. Make sure you can perform at least 3 unbroken reps before breaking. If you are unable to perform ring muscle-ups, practice the movement holding you back (e.g., chest-to-bar pull-up, ring dip, low-ring transitions).
