2,4,8 for 20

"Nate"
2 muscle ups
4 handstand pressups
8 kettlebell swings
amrap 20 mins.

There hasn't been a lot of chat on these blogs as of late, and as a result the workouts may have looked less scalable as a result, it's true that some of our guys have now got regular muscle ups and I'm very proud of the fitness that they've acheived using CrossFit. However a lot of the work we do is still very scaled as people have different abilities and so we tailor the workout to the individual.
Some of the guys today did their muscle ups with knees on the floor using the legs to assist the movement, some jumping to the top of the rings and then doing a negative dip. The handstand pressups were scaled to use abmats to reduce the depth, or alternately using boxes to take some of the weight away, likewise the swing weight was varied to the individual.
All of these scalings are valid, and are part of the pathway of developing a better fitness.
