I happen to have a 3 foot tall shelf along one wall. So I put a 30"box alongside and stack some plates until it's about level. Then use dumbbells on each side for the handle.
Template: This WOD follows “As Heavy As Possible” template. The athletes must perform dip with as heaviest resistance as possible, so the scoring is based on the heaviest weight used.
Modality: This heavy day is a single modality that includes a heavy weightlifting modality.
Purpose: The purpose of the exercise is to improve the strength. The amount of resistance should be progressively increased per set to reach the athlete’s record in final set. Athletes can strive to maximize their maximum strength in this exercise. In this day, recovery has not been a limiting factor.
The reason for choosing reps: The reps selected so that athletes reach to their 1 RM record (personal record). These reps zone challenge the strength. If athletes do not have a good rest between sets, their record will drop from set 4 onwards.
Note: The trainer should observe the techniques of movement during the exercise and correct any mistakes at rest.
Time to perform: This heavy WOD takes about ≈ 25 min. Athletes must strive to do their best and should rest at least 3 minutes between sets. In fact, all 14 reps takes about less than 1 min, however the rest between the sets takes about 24 min.
Running a class: Trainers have ≈ 35 min for set other parts of class.
Physiology (GPP): Strength plays the major role in this exercise.
Physiology (energy pathway): The phosphagen system is the dominant energy pathway in this exercise program.
Anatomy:
Dip:Agonist: Latissimus dorsi, Pectoralis major (sternum head), Triceps.
Synergist: Teres major, Trapezius (lower fibers).
________________________
Running a 60 min class:
Whiteboard ≈ 3 min
General warm up ≈ 5 min
Specific warm-up: ≈ 10 min
WOD ≈ 25 min
Cool-down ≈ 10 min
Additional time: It remains ≈ 7 minutes that can be divided in specific warm-up or cool-down.
You can see my other analysis in my instagram page.
Train hard and challenge your body. Enjoy it ;)
GOOD LUCK

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Think about the dip the same way you think about a push-up - which should also be the same way you think about a squat. Hips before knees in a squat, keeping external rotation, so in a dip it's the same thing, shoulders before elbows in the descent, and keeping external rotation by elbows staying in.
WHAT ABOUT THE MOVEMENT
Dip - pushing, end-range extension, external load, loss points of support, connection
WHAT ABOUT THE FORMAT
Max effort, so struggle with the set then rest long enough to recover for the next one. This movement is a strange one to pick - won't give the fatigue that a max effort squat or deadlift will, and doesn't have the same Wow Look At The Weight as a bench press of split jerk, but still a good test of strength.
TECHNIQUE SCALE
Scroll back and do yesterday's workout. Do some dips in the warmup.
CONSISTENCY SCALE
AMRAP in 15 minutes of:
Pick any movement you want to practice
8 strict dips
INTENSITY SCALE
AMRAP in 20 minutes of:
Run 200 meters
*split into teams of two, one partner does the run while the other practices weighted dips
