So, let's see if this thing can survive by staying afloat.
I'm sure we get a bunch of non-athletic retards posting Crossfit gifs in here, but IDGAF.
Open workouts for the 2015 Crossfit games will start being released in a little over 3 weeks. What are some of you doing to prepare for it? There is a scaled portion this year; anxious to see how that goes.
15.1
9 min AMRAP
15 TTB
10 Deadlift 115/75
5 Snatches 115/75
Immediately follow by..
15.1a
6 min time cap to achieve 1RM Clean and Jerk
The scaled versions replace TTB for knee ups (to chest) and 85/55 on the deadlift/snatch weights.
15.2
3 min to complete 2 rounds:
10 OHS 95/65
10 CTB pull-ups
If you finish within 3 min you get to move to the next round of 2 rotations
12 OHS 95/65
12 CTB pull-ups
If you finish within 3 min again, you move on, add 2 more reps to each, and so on, until you can't complete the 2 rounds within 3 min.
Score is total reps completed.
15.3
14 min AMRAP
7 muscle ups
50 Wallballs (20#/14#)
100 DUs
Total score is total reps
15.4
8 MIN AMRAP
3 HSPUs
3 Cleans (185/125)
6 HSPUs
3 Cleans
9 HSPUs
3 Cleans (note time here after cleans for tiebreaker)
12 HSPUs
6 Cleans
15 HSPUs
6 Cleans
21 HSPUs
6 Clean (note time here again)
...and so on..
15.5
For time:
27-21-15-9
Calorie row
Thrusters 95/65 (65/45 scaled)

ive been working my double unders and toes to bar.

Lol do you people really "train for the open"? Yikes.
I keep doing my same programming. A little more focused on increasing my lactic acid threshold but I'm not planning my training around the open as I nor anyone here is ever making regionals. You realize with the new open format, and the increasing sports popularity, that practically no one outside of people who crossfit for a living, will make regionals? But if you wanna train for a specific and pointless event so you can pay money to do workouts posted online, go for it

I'll be participating in the open too. I'm not going to bother doing the scaled workouts though even though it means I'll get smoked (which I probably will). I don't see the point in doing it scaled. The point is too challenge yourself. My understanding is that they've added the scaled division because the regular open will be designed to weed out the Average Joes. I'm anticipating the regular workouts will keep all but the top tier participants out.

damn, you're cool as shite

It's cool if you've drank the koolaid. I had at one time. Then I came back to reality. Still do crossfit, but I see the other side and some of the silliness of the whole thing.
Posted on 2/3/15 at 10:24 pm to Tigerfan56
We've got some in the gym at 4am.
As far as my training goes, it means I'll take extra time to work on things that I need to improve upon: Olympic technique, DUs and Muscleups.

i always have.
still like to do it. It's a means to stay in shape for me, nothing more, nothing less

I don't think there's anything wrong with working on weaknesses. But there's no need to prepare for the open. Just continually try to improve yourself, and don't plan for this event. Let's be honest- if you even need DU work in the slightest way- you aren't making regionals. That's a pretty basic movement when you get that advanced to the point of talking regionals.
I firmly believe that unless you plan on making a push for regionals, you should spend less time preparing for the open and keep following your normal programming and working on weaknesses year round.

I'm only 6 months in.
I'm batting ankle and foot injuries so doubles are a pain, literally, for me now.
I'll get to move up (or down, depending on how you look at it) in classification soon, so my chances increase in the near future.

You'll get blasted by the crossfitters but you speak a lot of truth.

Not going to knock you for focusing your training for the games and seem to recall you posting some pretty good numbers (IIRC better than mine, so who am I to criticize) in the thread last year , but if your taking time to work on improving your Olympic technique for the games now what's the point? Besides that, good OLY technique pretty much goes out the window during the games.
ETA: I think I may confusing you with someone else!

Honestly, if DU hurt, why push yourself and risk furthering an injury?
That's one of the biggest mistakes I think crossfitters make. Why not let your injuries heal and scale workouts around your injuries? You will regret furthering an injury.

you can be good at OLY lifts but suck at touch n go. That kind of stuff needs practice if you're new or never competed
Posted on 2/3/15 at 10:34 pm to CMBears1259
Good technique goes a long way.
Don't let it fool you.
