re: Official Crossfit 2025 Open Thread

I'll be honest, I don't know anything about the business side of Crossfit. It's just a workout program I've been doing for a while - it's the only program I've found that I enjoy and am consistent with. I don't claim it's perfect or for everyone, it's just what works for me.

25.2 coming out this afternoon!

25.2:

REPEAT OF 22.3

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

I really dislike thrusters with a passion, but I like all the other movements. I didn't do the open in 2022 so looking forward to pushing myself on this one. I'm not proficient at MUs so I am guessing that's where I'll get stuck.

They’ve actually scaled back the movements in more recent years to make the workouts more accessible. But they usually throw a movement or two in that’s slightly more advanced every year. This week it’s MUs

Well that sucked more than I was expecting, but I also finished right around where I thought I would.

I was able to get 5 MUs for a score of 161. I’m not thrilled by it, but I’m not upset about it either. I could retest every day this weekend and I know I wouldn’t get past the 15 MUs.

Well, I did strict pull ups and strict CTB. I got no repped on six because my arms weren't straight as a fricking "l" while at rest. My dubs are also fricky. I'll do five s/u's for every one dub. I've got to work on my kipping rhythm and my dubs. It severely hinders me and slows me down. Problem is, I rely too much on my strength and kinda just say "frick it" on the stuff I'm not great it, hence why I do strict stuff on the rig.

I've been doing CF for a year and three months now....it's time to start working on some of my weaknesses and improving some more.

I got a 102. Shitty score, but I knew this wasn't gonna be a good one for me. Give me something with dead lifts and HSPU's and I'll go ape shite on my score and no one can keep up with me. Give me rig stuff, and I'm slow as shite

Disappointed in my score. 158 gonna retest this afternoon if I can find time. Had a plan but came out way too hot and the wheels came off quick. didn't respect those thrusters like I should have and only got to the rig was 30 seconds left to do muscle ups lol.

You and me both. I spent way too much time on the thrusters at 115#. Part of me wants to retest as well, but don't know if I'll have time before 5pm. Good luck!

25.3:

For time:
5 wall walks
50-calorie row
5 wall walks
25 deadlifts (225/155)
5 wall walks
25 cleans (135/85)
5 wall walks
25 snatches (95/65)
5 wall walks
50-calorie row

TC: 20 minutes

Did ok. Finished 19 cals on the final row. A little disappointed - I really think if I pushed harder I had a shot to finish. May retest.

Planning on doing it tomorrow and possibly retesting Monday. I'm not going at a break neck pace on the row, although I'm good at getting my cals on it. I intend to make up time on deads, cleans, and snatches. I should fly through the deads really quickly.

Thanks. Smooth on first row. 10/8/7 on DLs. Those are sneaky. Bite off too much and it’ll blow you up and you won’t be able to get your HR back down. All singles on cleans and snatches. Last row I really had to push the last 25 cals
