The Open 2018 is approaching. Like every year, the competition that will define the fittest woman and man on the planet begins.
If you know the Open, skip to the next paragraph
CrossFit Inc. is the organizer of the Reebok CrossFit Games, a competition that takes place in 3 phases around the world. These phases are: Open, Regionals and Games. Only the best will be able to reach the Regionals and only a few the Games. But that shouldn't discourage you from signing up for the Open, where more than 300,000 people from all over the world compete over 5 wods and 5 weeks to improve themselves. Because no matter your level or that of your teammates, the Open is that moment in which you prove to yourself that all those hours of training are of some use. Plus, you can always ask your training partner to sign up and challenge each other.
On February 22, 5 weeks of what WOD will they put on will begin? What exercises will they play? What was the weather like for Matt Fraser? or how Tia-Clair Toomey is doing in the rankings.
The number of exercises that we will see in the Open are quite limited, more or less every year they are the same: Pull-Ups/Chest to bar/Muscle Ups, toes to bar, clean, hspu, snatch, lunges, box jump, front squat , rowing calories, double unders and, of course, thruster and burpees.
These exercises and their variants with dumbell, kettelbell or bar, burpees over the bar or the box,... the fact is that you have less than 30 days to start practicing your gymnastics, double unders or any of those exercises that you choke on a bit.
What will the WODs be like? Hard. Dave Castro, the one who laughs so much in the photo and Director of the Reebok CrossFit Games, knows very well how to destroy you physically and mentally. If you want to try a WOD from last year, you have them all on the Open Games website .
Get ready for the Open
- SIGN UP
- Work and improve your skills and weaknesses outside of class
- If you are going to buy material, do it now (never release material when you compete)
- Get your equipment ready: grease your skipping rope, check the sole of your shoes,...
- Set a personal goal: achieve my first muscle up or my first 40 DU unbroken
- have a good time
That's it, no matter what happens, have fun with the community.
