This is a cool workout and I actually don't think that super-high intensity is a huge focus for the day. I will encourage moderate/consistent paces on the run, moderately challenging loads on the dumbbells that may force the athlete to break-up the reps a little, and a challenging variation of pull-ups that might slow people down, while focusing on high quality movement. Here are some scaling thoughts:
Run: I will have nearly all of my athletes perform the run as prescribed. I will reduce distance or modify the movement to another monostructural exercise, on an individual basis, if needed. A general guideline, that I will use, will be to have no run last longer than 2:30.
Dumbbell Hang Squat Clean and Jerks: I consider the load to be moderate and the overall volume to be relatively high. Other factors that make this movement difficult is the skill demand along with the fact that we are moving load throughout a large range of motion, which will lead to a lot of time under tension. For my experienced athletes, I will have them use loads that allows for only 1-2 short breaks on any round. For newer athletes, I will likely reduce reps, as well as load, to control the volume.
Weighted Strict Pull-ups: I consider this to be somewhat of a strength training element vs a conditioning element today. I expect most athletes will need to take breaks to complete the reps on each round. For athletes that can do pull-ups, with the prescribed load, but 45 reps is too much, I will have them use the prescribed load today and reduce the reps. This is more a matter of variance than anything else…..if I always reduce loads and have people do the prescribed reps, then I’m lacking variance in my scaling. For athletes that can perform strict pull-ups, I can have them use a lighter load that makes 5-9 reps challenging or perform the movement unloaded, if that provides a challenge. For athletes that cannot do strict pull-ups, I will have them modify to a slow eccentric (negative) pull-up for 3-5 reps each round. The goal will be to lower oneself in 3-5 seconds after jumping the chin to the top of the bar. Again, I will not exceed 5 reps of this movement on any round. If this variation absolutely cannot be performed, then I'll use a band, but I will try to avoid the bands today.

Had to walk my 30# to the pull-up bar and back ~30sec each way. Held 2 min/500m each round, broke 10/5 hang C&J (did power, not squat), 5/4 for pullups.
Intimidating workout, it was definitely easier the way I modified it, felt strong and consistent throughout

After not getting my timing right with just the bar, I added some weight the last round. Arms still smoked, but I ended up doing another 3 rds of 4 to re-inforce correct timing. Drawbacks of solo home gym, but I think I got it.

I scaled this down twice... 😂 it was brutal and painful, and definitely going to be using my COMPEX on my left forearm 😭
2 rounds scaled at 40lbs w/ a moderate 7.5 running pace; legs felt like spaghetti.
2 rounds scaled again to 30lbs same 7.5 pace, this time legs caught up.
last final round was barley making it through the moves so I concentrated on form, all in all finished at 32 minutes

INTENDED STIMULUS
.
And now the intervals from yesterday sound so gentle and nice! Today we are deep in the full spectrum of metabolic conditioning. This is a long effort that requires endurance, power, and strength. Your muscles will burn, your lungs will burn. This is a beast of a workout, approach it as such. The number of reps and the loads on the DB's might deceive you. Make no mistake this is a chipper. The good thing is that it is broken in 5 rounds. Now, keep in mind the C&J's call for the same weight dumbbell as the pull-ups. Whatever scaling you do today keep that ratio as close as you can. The capacity on the pull-ups is probably the limiting factor for most, so let's start there. Instead of thinking 9 reps, think 40 weighted strict pull-ups. What weight will you choose? That might be 0 pounds, it might be 20lbs, or -20lbs (assisting). If it is low or you are assisting avoid compensating by going heavier on the C&J's, that's how we keep the ratio close. Those 15 reps should be doable and kind of fast, shoot for at most two breaks in the last rounds. During the runs, remind yourself you will have breaks between movements and between pull-ups (chances are you are doing those in very small sets). That means you can keep a good pace in those runs, keep the speed, you won't like it but you can! You love a hard workout, stay focused and chip away!
OPTION 1
5 rounds for time of:
400-m run
15 hang squat clean and jerks
9 weighted strict pull-ups
♀ two 20-lb. DBs for C&J, one DB for pull-ups

*Assist if needed with very light band (max ~10-30lbs, that's usually the third one from thinnest to thickest in most gyms)
OPTION 3

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT:
Just a Workout here, folks. A lot of volume, nothing really forcing you to take a rest but everything making everything else tougher.
I SHOULD TRY THIS RX’D IF: I can do the first 2 rounds unbroken
GROUP VERSION: as is, just use any variation of pull-ups (Ricky Reps included) for weighted pull-ups
I’M ONLY HERE ONCE A WEEK AND THIS IS THE DAY VERSION: as is
INJURY VERSION:
Upper-body injury — one-arm ring rows, one-arm cleans
Middle-body injury — shouldn’t be bad, muscle cleans maybe, bike if needed
Lower-body injury — pistol sub for hang cleans, skip on the run and just do an AMRAP in 20
WARMUP:
Jump rope — always
Handstand — running prep (falling)
Hollow hold — pull-up prep
Squat — hang clean prep
Box jump — clean landing prep
GENERAL FEAR LEVEL (1=REST DAY, 10=PR-DRIVEN FGB): 7

I think the weighted strict pull ups make this more than "just a workout":):) either way I'm scaling to 35#kettlebells. And I'm pretty sure I'll get crushed by the females....I'm ok with that. Keep up the good work Chris, and Thanks!:)
