Scaling:
All athletes can perform this workout as prescribed. Newer athletes should focus on maintaining sound mechanics rather than trying for max loads.
220lb-235lb-250lb-290lb(was supposed to be 280 but a 10lb was left on one side by accident)-295lb-305lb(PR, finally broke into the 300s for front squat)-265lb-250lb-235lb(9/10 reps, almost failed on rep 9 and racked it because it was going down otherwise).
150711: 115-135-165-190-205-(missed a set)-175-135-115

The rounds of 10 were the hardest for me, as my wrists are screaming bloody murder after about 6-7 reps. 195 rep was a little shallow.
150711: same, except I hit 200 in the 3rd single.

*Tried for 200 but when I racked the bar, it felt too heavy and I did not attempt it.

Globo scale: most gyms should have a barbell and squat rack. Set up the pins or safeties and get to work if you have iron plates. Unlike back squats, do not use a Smith Machine as a sub as it's too awkward. If dumbbells are only available let's work up to some heavy sets. If you max out the dumbbells do AMRAP sets.
Busy gym: hog a rack and get it done. Perhaps do the sets on the 2 minutes, or let others work in between your sets (last resort)
Bodyweight/ equipmentless sub: do some sort of squatting today. Pistol squats, jump squats, air squats, lunges, ect. Pick one and do 6x max unbroken sets after a good warmup. Rest as needed between sets.

Champions Club Scaling Notes
RANT
Nothing to rant about
WORKOUT THEMES
Squatting with an upright torso, heavy weight, extra demand on the midline. Also high output followed by rest, stamina plays a factor.
MAIN DECISION
Go for a rep-max on any of the sets, try to game a true pyramid, or just do heavy front squats in some capacity?
TECHNIQUE SCALE
All sets of 10
CONSISTENCY SCALE
Pyramid game - 10s, 5s, and 3s the same weight, first and last 1s the same, middle 1 heaviest.
INTENSITY SCALE
Do a short sprint/burpee set before each squat set.
INJURY SCALE
Upper-body - back squat, or do short sprint followed by one-arm dumbbell front squat
