Notes:

Scaling muscle-ups and handstand push-ups can be a challenge as there are so many different variations of skills and strength to work on. All of them becoming more difficult to address an athletes weakness the larger the class. Thanks to everyone for the patience today in addressing different set-ups and equipment, whether it was on the rings or bar. (Note: the general scaling today was muscle-up progressions if you have a chest-to-bar pull-up and ring dip, then 2 C2B pull-ups and 2 ring dips to one MU, then 2 strict pull-ups and 2 dips to one MU. For HSPU it was strict or kip, then pike off the floor, or box with varying height). Once each class was sorted out it was ON and the effort was intense!
