2016 CROSSFIT OPEN WORKOUT 16.3

CrossFit Open Workout 16.3 has been announced and it favors the athletes who have a strong engine. Bar muscle ups and snatches in a 7 minute ARAMP, this one is a lot of technical work and all about speed!

Time to AMRAP it out!

FROM THE CROSSFIT GAMES OFFICIAL:

Complete as many rounds and reps as possible in 7 minutes of:
10 power snatches
3 bar muscle-ups

Men use 75 lb.
Women use 55 lb.

Notes
This workout begins with the barbell on the floor and the athlete standing tall. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will perform 10 power snatches, then move to the pull-up bar to perform muscle-ups. After 3 reps, the athlete will move back to the barbell and begin their next round.

Your score will be the total number of repetitions completed within the 7-minute time cap.

Tiebreak
The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. At the end of each round, time should be marked. When you submit your final result, your score will be the number of reps completed. There will be another field in which you will enter the elapsed time at which you completed your last full round. In the case where 2 athletes have the same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak time will be ranked higher.

Note: All tiebreak times must be reported in elapsed time, not in time remaining. If you are using a countdown timer, you must convert to elapsed time before reporting your score. For this reason, it is recommended you set your clock to count up.

Equipment
• Barbell
• Plates to load to the appropriate weight for your division
• Collars
• Pull-up bar

For each workout, be sure the athlete has adequate space to safely complete the workout. Clear the area of all extra equipment, people or other obstructions.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR 16.2

The CrossFit Open workout 16.2 is a true test of core stability, muscle endurance, pose, and strength. We have collected all of the best videos out there to help you crush 16.2 in Dan Bailey time.

THE WORKOUT?

CrossFit Open WOD 16.2

TOP 5 TIPS

1. Know your own pace.

2. Push yourself on double unders and TTB. Shoot for unbroken.

4. Cleans in fast singles.

5. Be like Dan Bailey and give it all you got.

GEAR TIPS

TTB

Double Unders

  • The FASTER the better. Our favourite rope has always been the RPM Speed Rope
  • Keep another rope on hand if something goes weird with your main rope

Cleans

  • This one is a core buster and your back should be in good position at all times. Lifting belts keep you tight for when things get heavy. We recommend velcro  for a quicker tight/loosen before and after cleans.

2016 CROSSFIT OPEN WORKOUT 16.2

CrossFit Open WOD 16.2

2016 CROSSFIT OPEN WORKOUT 16.2

CrossFit Open workout 16.2 is already here and it’s a doozy! Check out this week’s challenge bellow.

FROM THE CROSSFIT GAMES OFFICIAL:

Beginning on a 4-minute clock, complete as many reps as possible of:
25 toes-to-bars
50 double-unders
15 squat cleans, 135 / 85 lb.

If completed before 4 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 toes-to-bars
50 double-unders
13 squat cleans, 185 / 115 lb.

If completed before 8 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 toes-to-bars
50 double-unders
11 squat cleans, 225 / 145 lb.

If completed before 12 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 toes-to-bars
50 double-unders
9 squat cleans, 275 / 175 lb.

If completed before 16 minutes, add 4 minutes to the clock and proceed to:
25 toes-to-bars
50 double-unders
7 squat cleans, 315 / 205 lb.

Stop at 20 minutes.

Notes
This workout begins with the athlete standing under the pull-up bar. At the call of “3, 2, 1 … go,” the athlete will have 4 minutes to perform 25 toes-to-bars, followed by 50 double-unders, and then 15 squat cleans. If all 90 repetitions are not completed by 4 minutes the athlete’s workout is over, and they will stop and record their score.

If all 90 repetitions are completed within the 4-minute window the athlete will earn an additional 4 minutes to perform another 25 toes-to-bars, 50 double-unders, and 13 squat cleans, this time at a heavier weight. If all 178 repetitions (90 from round 1, plus 88 from round 2) are completed by the 8-minute mark, the athlete will begin another round and their time cap will be extended by an additional 4 minutes. At each round, the weight of the clean will increase while the number of reps of the clean will decrease. Once a round is completed, the athlete may immediately begin their next round. They do not need to wait for the 4-minute round to end before moving on to the next round. This pattern of earning additional time will continue for up to 20 minutes, as long as a full round is completed before the next cutoff.

This workout is over when the athlete fails to complete all the repetitions within the cut-off time for that round. The final round ends at the 20-minute mark. The athlete’s score is the number of repetitions completed up to their cut-off time.

In this workout, another person may assist the athlete in changing the plates on the barbell during the workout, or multiple barbells may be used.

Tiebreak
The scoring for this workout includes a tiebreak. At the end of each set of double-unders, time should be marked. When you submit your final result, your score will be the number of reps completed. There will be another field in which you will enter the elapsed time at which you completed your last set of double-unders. In the case where 2 athletes have the same score (total number of reps), the athlete with the lower tiebreak time will be ranked higher.

If all 5 rounds are completed in under 20 minutes, enter the time at which the last rep of the cleans was completed, as this will be used for the tiebreak score, not the time of completing the double-unders.

Note: All tiebreak times must be reported in elapsed time, not in time remaining. If you are using a countdown timer, you must convert to elapsed time before reporting your score. For this reason, it is recommended you set your clock to count up.

Equipment
• Pull-up bar
• Jump rope
• Barbell
• Collars
• Plates to load to the appropriate weights for your division

For each workout, be sure the athlete has adequate space to safely complete the workout. Clear the area of all extra equipment, people or other obstructions.

*The official weight is in pounds. For your convenience, the minimum acceptable weights in kilograms are 20 kg (45 lb.), 25 kg (55 lb.), 29 kg (65 lb.), 34 kg (75 lb.), 38 kg (85 lb.), 43 kg (95 lb.), 47 kg (105 lb.), 52 kg (115 lb.), 56 kg (125 lb.), 61 kg (135 lb.), 65 kg (145 lb.), 70 kg (155 lb.), 79 kg (175 lb.), 83 kg (185 lb.), 93 kg (205 lb.), 102 kg (225 lb.), 106 kg (235 lb.), 124 kg (275 lb.), 142 kg (315 lb.).

Video Submission Standards
Prior to starting, film the plates and barbell to be used so the loads can be seen clearly. All video submissions should be uncut and unedited in order to accurately display the performance. A second person with a stopwatch should be in the frame throughout the entire workout. Shoot the video from an angle so all exercises can be clearly seen meeting the movement standards.

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR 16.1

TIPS AND TRICKS FOR 16.1

So you are looking for some tips and tricks to lunge your way to your best possible score for CrossFit Open Workout 16.1?

The WOD Life have you covered compiling all of the best tips, tricks and strategies from the best amongst the community.

THE WORKOUT?

TOP 5 TIPS

1. Pace

It’s a long, endurance style workout. Ensure that you can maintain your pacing consistently and heart rate is kept stable throughout the workout. The aim is to keep the same time per round, for the majority if not all of the workout. Sure at the end you can empty the tank but don’t blow out too soon!

2. Set your grip and go unbroken

If you can, go narrow. It’s going to save your grip which you will likely be needing for the chest to bar pull ups. But if you have to go wide, go wide. It may get tough to hold deeper into the workout. Ensure you are comfortable on the barbell locked out overhead, do not drop it. Bring your feet together consistently for each rep, make sure your knees touch the ground and push hard to go unbroken.

3. Watch your jump

For the burpees, do yourself a favour and minimise that jump over the bar. Don’t try and jump, fully extend and get serious airtime. Keep the jumps short and tight. The key focus here is keeping your heart rate down and maintaining the pace. Save the energy, you are going to need it!

4. Know your capacity

How good are you at Chest to Bar Pull Ups? Think through a strategy that works for you before going into the workout. If your best effort ever is 8 reps, don’t try and be a hero and knock out 8’s for each set. Be smart. Have a plan of how many reps you can manage each round. It may be sets of 4s, 2s or even fast singles. Whatever works for you, minimise the downtime and cycle through as quickly as possible.

5. Keep Working!

You are going to find yourself into the pain cave as the workout progresses. There is going to be a tendency to get lazy on the burpees. Stay mentally checked in and just keep moving. Doing this will provide huge benefits and make sure you stay in the game.

GEAR TIPS

Lunges

  • Wear Knee Sleeves. Don’t go trying to beat up your knees.

Chest to Bar Pull Ups

Burpees

  • Headbands & Sweatbands. Seriously. It’s a game changer!
