If you missed the first Firebreathers class and you want to participate, you may make up the WOD in place of another WOD (in class). You must have finished it before the next one comes up.

Woo hoo! OHSs!!! (trying to show enthusiasm for one of my biggest goats--shudder)

Nope. 1 point for Max.

Here's one answer from CF main site, re: scaling weight:
1.3. What if I can't use the recommended weight?
Use a weight that's manageable to you, or use a percentage of the weight prescribed. Assume the "generic" male crossfitter weighs 175 and the prescribed weight is 95 lbs. Thus, you'd pick a weight that's approximately 55% of your bodyweight.

One more thing, from earlier conversation:
Our country’s de facto authority on personal training is creating hordes of polo-shirted morons who have no business calling themselves trainers, and they’re fighting for the attention of every one of my clients. They’re armed with a battery of vocabulary words and functional movement screens, and they don’t have a clue as to creating real strength.

The enemy is complacent and soft, and they have no idea that we’re coming.Their incompetence is driving thousands of otherwise motivated individuals away from athletics, spiraling commitment into the ground through ineffective techniques and motivational neglect. This attrition isn’t just unfortunate. It’s completely criminal.

Given the growth of CrossFit and the exponential embrace of high intensity compound movement, it’s easy to think that we’re winning, but the fact remains that majority of the gym-going public has no clue we exist. Serviced by ACE-certified trainers, they genuinely believe that fitness is a high score on the Three-Minute Step Test and a 5% improvement in VO2 Max.

We have a responsibility to these people, no lighter than a complete redefinition of health, beauty, and fitness. We need to show them that there is a better way, and it lies along a harder path. We need to show them that aesthetics are irrelevant and performance is paramount, and we need to start today. We need to show them that fitness is not mirrors and lockers, waivers and calipers. It is the sweat of the human soul, grinding through painful exertion in search of a more ideal self.

You have a co-worker, a family member, a neighbor who needs your help. Stop worrying about sounding like a fanatic and get in there. Get them a barbell and a pair of gymnastics rings, and do it now. Your hesitation increases the likelihood that they’ll fall into big-box purgatory, grabbed by a khaki-wearing trainer and forcibly removed from the joys of physical culture. Don't let it happen.
