Post number of dips completed each round to comments.
Scaling:
Reduce the thruster load in to keep each interval quick, completing the thrusters and shuttle sprint in no more than 40 seconds. The thruster should feel challenging but should be performed with solid mechanics. Use a band or choose to perform jumping dips. If you do not have parallel bars for the dips, modify to a bench or ring dip.

Scaling:
Today’s workout is a mix of high-skill gymnastics and grunt work. You have to pay the toll of the shuttle runs in order to play with the handstand push-ups. Scale the number of shuttle runs to finish in 1 minute or less. The most challenging variation of the handstand push-up is up first. Challenge yourself, but not so much that you spend a lot of time resting. There is more benefit in scaling the handstand push-up and continuously moving than in trying to do too much and twiddling your thumbs.
