Please hold questions and comments until Garddawg or BlueBugofJustice post the scaling, which usually includes links to exercise videos, common substitutions and other helpful information.
The mainpage of CrossFit directs new people here for help getting started. CF can be confusing enough for a newbie, we want to make it as easy as possible for them. We ask you to be courteous and thoughtful of the newbies. If they show up here for the first time and have to wade through 5-10 posts before we have a chance to scale for them, it can make it more difficult.
Edit:
And look at GD enjoying himself on the Affiliate page.
I’ve never seen him look happier!
That’s pretty much what he looked like when he saw my kipping pull-ups too.
Great photo GD.
Just to make sure I fully understand, the 3, 3, 3, 3, 3 means that you do 3 reps before putting the bar down correct? And I know this has been asked about previous WOD’s too, but is there a set amount of rest time? 3 - 5 min? Thanks…

You go it. Three reps per set (5 sets). 3-5 min rest is fine.

Yes, 5 sets of 3 reps.
Rest as long as you need to recover before beginning your next set. Typically 3-5 minutes.
The weight you use for each set should preferably or at least stay the same. If you have to decrease it you’re usually either not resting long enough or you started too heavy.

Puppies:
do 5 rounds of
max push ups
max pull ups or beginner pull ups
Beginner pull-ups, done with feet on the floor, hanging under the smith machine bar. I had time for 3 minutes of rest between each round.

This should be easy to beat next time around…
On another note, I received my copy of Starting Strength today…and I totally have to redo my squats. I read the first chapter and learned more than I ever knew. I added several sets of squat stretches/dowel squats/olympic bar squats to my warmup.
