Globo scale: if you do not have a pullup bar do controlled v ups. For pistols, sub deep box or weighted bench step ups if you can't fast cycle them, or do band assisted pistols. For HS walks, lower the distance or sub 6 wall walks per round.

Other options for the HS Walk include 2x distance bear crawls. Another Pistol sub is weighted walking lunges (if stuck in Planet Fitness or a similar gym)

Compare to 160502: 6 rounds + 30 reps scaled with 30 shoulder taps for HSW. Aside from being able to do the HSW, just a tiny bit better.

Anyone have some info on the bent elbows vs. straight elbows? Pros, cons or do both?

Try to keep the arms as straight as possible. This would be harder but it will engage the muscles of the back more than the muscles of the arms. A small amount of elbow flexion will most probably happen regardless.

Yes, minimize elbow bending. "when the elbows bend, the strength ends"

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
the thing that should jump out to you is the single-leg squats. the positional demand on those usually means they need to be done slow, and considering there are a ton of reps per round means you'll have to make some decisions about what you want to prioritize. in my opinion, technique would be the focus today over intensity.
PURPOSE
a long time to practice three movements we probably don't practice enough of
NEW TO CROSSFIT VERSION
sub lunges for single-leg squats, sub :30 handstand hold for hs walk. Practice pistol and hs walk progressions in warmup
TRAINING SCALE
cut the pistols to 10 reps and the handstand walk to 2 attempts to give a better cardio response. or keep the number the same but do lunges instead.
PRACTICE SCALE
as is, just maybe extend the time domain if you didn't get enough practice in the 20 minutes. also, i still might cut the single-leg squats down to 10 per round and go slower for most people.
INJURY SCALE
Pick a single-sided movement and one slow movement and one static hold. Go at the three for 25-30 minutes at a slower pace than usual.

nice article. Is this the 2018 article? https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6706084/ The link in the post does not point to the article. Thanks.
