Scaling this WOD
If muscle-ups and double-unders are not yet developed, intensity is less important than facilitating practice and technical refinement. If you are proficient with muscle-ups and double-unders, attempt to finish quickly with minimal breaks.
Option 2
5 slow muscle-up transitions with straight legs
50 double-unders
4 slow muscle-up transitions with straight legs
40 double-unders
3 slow muscle-up transitions with straight legs
30 double-unders
2 slow muscle-up transitions with straight legs
20 double-unders
1 slow muscle-up transitions with straight legs
10 double-unders
During your warm-up, experiment with the muscle-up transition. Move the feet closer to the rings to decrease the difficulty. Find a position that allows flawless execution, but also offers a challenge to the upper body. If able to perform a strict muscle-up from a seated position, attempt at least one strict muscle-up in each round of the workout. If you fail, finish the round with transitions. If double-unders are inconsistent, count all attempts.
Option 3
For time:
10 slow muscle-up transitions with bent legs
50 single-unders
8 slow muscle-up transitions with bent legs
40 single-unders
6 slow muscle-up transitions with bent legs
30 single-unders
4 slow muscle-up transitions with bent legs
20 single-unders
2 slow muscle-up transitions with bent legs
10 single-unders
During your warm-up, practice a few sets of strict dips and pull-ups. Use a band for assistance if needed. Move slowly with control on each step of the low-ring transition.

Hey there! I know this is kinda off topic however I’d figured I’d ask. Would you be interested in exchanging links or maybe guest authoring a blog article or vice-versa? My website discusses a lot of the same subjects as yours and I think we could greatly benefit from each other. If you might be interested feel free to send me an email. I look forward to hearing from you! Great blog by the way!
It is difficult to find knowledgeable folks on this topic, but you sound like you understand what you are talking about! Thanks
