    One of the lads was on the leg press the night before last, I walked by and he asked me to hand him the bar. There was an olympic bar (110kg) on the floor behind him, I honestly thought he was taking the piss! Turns out he wasn't... Hoisted it up to him, he then proceeded to knock out a set of 12-15reps with ~300kg on the leg press while simultaneously incline pressing 110kg...

    It was either the stupidest or most bad assed thing I've ever seen

    Is there a simple article about on how to start crossfit with some scalable workouts?

    Crossfit.com say just start doing the WOD's but, for example, how would I scale todays WOD, 21 pullups or yesterdays "handstand walk 20 yards"? Suggestions like that make me wonder what I'm getting into here.

    Ya can scale the load (by doing jumping pullups, pullup negatives, band assisted pullups) or the reps. Just do it in such a way as you can keep moving throughout the whole thing. Band assisted ones would probably be best because 105 jumping pullups or negatives might well wreck you if you're not used to it. Brandx do scaling for most WODS too, see here http://www.crossfitbrandx.com/index.php/forums/viewforum/16/

    You should scale that one by not doing it, it's silly! Seriously though, if you're not used to being upside down then try to work on handstands against a wall, so do your squats, hold a hs as long as it would take to walk 20ft on your hands and get back to your squats. careful with the .com workouts though, some of them can be a bit questionable. Reilly's stuff on crossfit.ie is generally better thought out.
