How do you scale the workout

The wod "Officer Nathan Martin" can be done by everyone

Scale the box jumps by reducing the height or swapping to step-ups, ensuring a safe and effective movement. For the bar muscle-ups, beginners can use bands for assistance or substitute with ring rows to build strength. Adjust the double-unders by using single skips or performing a set number of attempts before switching to basic jumps to maintain cardio engagement.

For the wall ball shots, reduce the weight of the ball to 6–10 lbs (2.7–4.5 kg) or lower the target height to accommodate your current fitness level. Consider reducing the total number of rounds to make the workout more manageable, aiming for 12–16 minutes as a target time to complete your scaled version.

How do you score the WOD
