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.
Use 10-14 pound medicine ball launched to a target 6-8 feet above the ground.
If you do not have a medicine ball the common sub is dumbbell thrusters. For a 20# medicine ball use two 20# dumbbells. Scale the weight down for pack and puppies.
Question for toady’s WOD? I can do dead hang pullups; however I can’t kip yet. I plan on doing this at the puppy level today however I have no access to a gravitron to help when I get tired. What are some good subs for pull-ups when I get tired? Should I do as many dead hangs as possible and then finish with ring rows “I have rings at home”. If my question is too confusing just pm me.
Deadlift (in kilograms): 135, 145 (PR from two weeks ago), 150 (F), 150(F), 150 PR, 152.5(F),152.5(F)
Perhaps I should have rested more between those last two sets, but I had a class in the next period, so I had to hurry. Set that 150 pr, which is great. Hopefully I can finish out that 152.5 next time, I was sooo close on the last lift…
Huge PR, by like ten minutes, but I think that’s because the first time I did this was the first time I had done pullups in a WOD after I broke my arm. Still, with some gloves or something to ease the pain on my calluses, I think I could do this faster.

Yeah I think ring rows are a good sub for pullups. They will help ya build more pulling strength but allow ya to keep moving when ya cant do anymore pullups.
I only have a 10lb med ball. Should I adjust the number of wall ball throws? If so - how much?
Thanks!
You don’t need to. But you also didn’t say what scaling . . . you could sub dumbell thrusters, if you don’t think the weight will be enough. You could try and fly through it . . .
