The CrossFit Open is finally here!
It’s an annual community event built around exactly what we already do in the gym every day.
It’s a fun way to “benchmark” your fitness, expose some weaknesses, and give you something on the calendar to train for!
This week’s workout is going to be a leg burner – and the great part is we have scaling options for any capability! Let’s break it down:
“26.1”
For Time (12m cap):
20-30-40-66-40-30-20
Wall Balls
*18 box jump overs after each set of wall-balls
** the 3rd and 4th box-over sets are med-ball step overs
With a 12 minute cap and the reps getting higher each round, most of us are going to be breaking up those wall-ball sets early and often and just trying to get to the halfway mark before the buzzer.
Scaling options:
Wall Balls
RX: 20/14 lbs to 10/9ft target
Masters 55+ RX: 20/14lbs to 9/9ft target
Scaled: 14/10lbs to 10/9ft target
Masters 55+ Scaled: 14/10lbs to 8/8ft target
Foundations: med ball air squat
Box Jump Overs & Med Ball Step Overs
RX: 24/20 inch box
Masters 55+ RX, Scaled, and Masters 55+ Scaled: 24/20 inch box, may step up
Foundations: step overs with lower box or plates
At Reverb, the Open is our biggest community event of the year.
We have heats kicking off Friday night at 5:15pm and continuing Saturday morning from 7:30am through 10:30am.
Coach Jodie, leading the Barbell Assassins, is looking for a repeat team victory this year while Coach Jake’s Reverb Redliners and Coach Mehedi’s Scaled & Dangerous teams are both circling and scheming their path to victory.
Team points are all based on showing up and participating, and it’s not too late to join the fun!
Who do you have your money on this year?
Let us know what you think of this workout, and we’ll see you up on the leaderboard!!
