Today is a moderately long endurance-focused workout. Maintain a consistent pace on the rower and push the pace on the run. Your pace on the rower is too fast if you are walking out the door on your run. Those performing the workout as prescribed should be able to complete the first row in no more than 4:30 and keep each run to 2:15 or less.

Scaling:

Today’s workout is a classic heavy day. Even though most athletes can perform this workout as prescribed, the challenge lies in the technical complexities of the movements. Adding load should be based on your ability to stay mechanically sound. Each athlete, regardless of experience, should focus on technique before adding load.

Monday 240226

For time:

30 deadlifts

60 toes-to-bars

30 front squats

♀ 125 lb

♂ 185 lb

Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Today’s chipper-style workout should be treated like a sprint. Complete each movement in as few sets as possible. The load of the barbell is moderate, however, the deadlift will feel much lighter than the front squats. Athletes using the prescribed weight should be able to perform at least 10 reps at a time. Go unbroken on the deadlifts if you can — this will really spice things up. Grind through as many front squats as possible because the more you drop it, the more you’ll have to pick it up again. Stick to a number of toes-to-bars that allows you to rest minimally between sets. Consider consistent sets of 5-10 reps with 10-15 seconds of rest between each set.

Intermediate option:

For time:

30 deadlifts

60 knees-to-armpits

21-15-9 reps for time of:

Calorie row

Burpee pull-ups

*Pull-up bar 6 inches from fingertips with arms overhead.

Post time to comments.

Scaling:

Today’s workout is a burner and there is no reason to stop moving. Experienced athletes should sell their sousl on the rower and hold their heads above water on the burpee pull-ups. Beginner athletes should pace the row and move consistently on the burpee pull-ups. To make the burpee pull-ups easier, use a bar closer to your fingertips when arms are overhead, allowing you to perform more of a jumping pull-up.

Intermediate option:

21-15-9 reps for time of:

Calorie row

Burpee pull-ups

*Pull-up bar 1 inch from fingertips with arms overhead.

Beginner option:

*Pull-up bar between forearm and elbow with arms overhead.

Scaling:

Today’s workout is a repeat from a previous CrossFit Open. If you have completed this workout before, look back and try to beat your score. There are two ways to attack: If you are capable of performing the workout as prescribed, but the volume in each round is going to keep you from moving quickly, perform the workout as prescribed and see how far you can get.

10 kettlebell swings

Scaling:

Today’s workout is short, but don’t let it fool you — it will get spicy. If you attempt the prescribed handstand walk, allow no more than 45 seconds to complete it. If you want to practice your handstand walk but the distance is too far, reduce to no less than 15 feet. The kettlebell swings should be moderately heavy and unbroken for as many rounds as possible. Can you hold on for 1 round per minute? Maybe more?

Intermediate option:

20 alternating shoulder taps against the wall

Scaling:

Today’s workout is a twist on the classic benchmark workout, Nancy. The weight starts heavy, but as the reps increase, the weight decreases. We’ll start with the barbell on the ground, which means you must be able to safely snatch it — reduce the load if this is not possible as written. The first barbell should be challenging, but you should be able to hold it overhead for an unbroken set. Some athletes may be able to go unbroken in the remaining sets — if you have to break, it should only be once. Keep the runs to 2:15 or less.
