It’s week 2 of the Reverb Open and we have a new workout to tackle this weekend (“25.2”)! Let’s check out how the workout is scalable to no matter where you are at currently.
For time:
21 pull-ups
42 double-unders
21 thrusters (95/65)
18 chest-to-bar pull-ups
36 double-unders
18 thrusters (115/75)
15 bar muscle-ups
30 double-unders
15 thrusters (135/85)
Time cap: 12 minutes
Don’t worry, we’re going to break this down into manageable options.
Let’s talk about the pull-up variations first. We have 6 variations available. You’re going to choose the 3 in a row that you’re able to do and progress through them during the workout!
In each variation, arms start fully locked out, and then we get the target body part to/above the bar.
Option 1:
Barbell row
-get the bar to your sternum
Option 2:
Jumping pull-up
-use a bar that’s 6” above the top of your head
-jump and get your chin clearly above the bar
Option 3:
Jumping chest-to-bar
-use a bar that’s 6” above the top of your head
-jump and get your chest to clearly touch the bar
Option 4:
Pull-up
-chin clearly above the bar
-use any grip
Option 5:
Chest-to-Bar
-chest clearly touches the bar
-use any grip
Option 6:
Bar Muscle Up
-finish with full arm extension at the top
The second movement is double-unders (rope passes twice under the feet on each jump). Our scaled option is regular jump rope single unders!
The third movement is the thruster. On the thruster we scale the weight down as much as needed all the way to an empty 10lb bar!
-hip crease reaches below parallel at the bottom
-full knee, hip, AND arm extension at the top
-no re-bending of the knee while pressing overhead
Strategy:
This workout is all about pacing yourself on your way to the limiting movement or weight that will challenge you, and then giving it everything you got to make it through, or maybe make your first rep of a new movement!
Let’s have fun tackling this classic CrossFit benchmark workout!
