2012 CrossFit Games Open WOD 12.2

Movement Standards

This workout begins from the standing position with the barbell loaded to the starting weight. In the Snatch, the barbell goes directly from the ground to overhead in one motion without stopping at the shoulders. This can be a muscle snatch, a power snatch, a squat snatch or a split snatch. A clean and jerk is not permitted.

Additional Notes

Please be sure to watch the entire workout instruction video above for full details. Each rep will be counted once the athlete clearly shows control of the barbell overhead. The athlete must be responsible for loading their own barbell to the appropriate loads during the workout. The same barbell must be used for the entire workout and they may not receive assistance when changing the loads. Using additional pre-loaded barbells is not permitted.

Equipment

To complete this workout you will need:

• One barbell
• Collars
• Plates to load to the appropriate weights for your gender and age group

Video Submission Standards

Prior to starting, film the plates and barbell to be used so that the loads can be clearly seen. All video submissions should be uncut and unedited in order to accurately display the performance. A second person with a stopwatch will need to be in the frame throughout the entire workout. Shoot the video from the side so that it is clear that the barbell is locked out overhead on each rep. Sample here…

CrossFit Open Workout 1

From the Games Website:

Complete as many reps as possible in 7 minutes of:

Burpees

Video courtesy of CrossFit.com and Games.crossfit.com

Movement Standards

Burpee At the bottom position, the Athlete’s chest and hips must touch the ground.

At the top of the movement, both hands must make contact with the target 6 inches above your max reach.

Additional Notes

The height of the target must be no less than 6 inches above the Athlete’s fingertips when they are standing, feet together, with a straight line through their wrist, elbow, shoulder, hip and knees. The Athlete should be shrugging their shoulders and reaching as high as possible, while the measurement is being made.

If the Athlete touches with just one hand or misses, they may re-jump to complete the rep without dropping back to the ground. The use of a springy floor is not allowed.

For those wanting to record your WOD for submission for the Open…

Video Submission Standards

All video submissions should be uncut and unedited in order to accurately display the performance. Prior to starting the workout, film the measuring of the target to be 6 inches above the Athlete’s max reach. A second person with a stopwatch will need to be in the frame throughout the entire workout. Shoot the video from the side so that it is clear that the hips and chest are touching the ground at the bottom position and the hands can be see touching the target.

For more details and a link to a example of a valid video submission link, read this.

G2012_OpenEvent1_Guide_Score

Also, the pdf has a score card with it.  Do us, the coaches a favor and print one out if you can.  If not, we will try to have extras.

If you want your workout recorded for submission, we ask you to please bring in something to record the WOD with.  If you do not have anything to record with, the coaching staff will do its best to have extra recording equipment.

We plan on running at least two heats, as this will ensure EVERYONE has someone to count their reps.

Wait, wait,…yep,…it’s official,… I’m frickin’ excited!

Skill

Midline awareness

Notice the position of the bar in the top position.  Bar is directly overhead.  This is what we call direct midline.  Perfectly over the center.  Notice bar postion at the bottom.  Bar is still over midline, which is now over the hills.  This drill will help you feel the shift.

WOD

45 sec max calorie row

45 sec max DU (No time break between rower and DU)

90 sec rest

Kipping pull up progressions, technique

Good video from CrossFit Santa Cruz on controling your swing in the kip

Read the attached CrossFit Journal issue on kipping.

CrossFit Journal on Kipping Pull Ups

Notice how she opens the shoulders at the front and pushes away from the bar on the back.  From here, violently pull yourself to the bar, using a kip.  Chin must go above the bar with head in neutral position, no craning of the neck.  Do not count rep if you do!

WOD

“ANGIE”

100 pull ups

100 push ups

100 sit ups

100 squats

Exercises are done in order.  You have to finish all reps of one exercise before going on to the next.

30 min cut off

With the cutoff set, if you need to scale, the goal is to try to finish at or before the time limit.  If  you scale back reps and finish in 5 minutes, guess what?  You scaled back WAAYYY to much.  If you go RX’d and only get through one exercise by the time limit, guess what?  You should have scaled.

The coaches will help you determine your scale if needed.  Once it is set, do everything you can to not deviate from it.

Scaling is meant to improve your performance, not make the WOD easy.  Be smart, check your ego at the door, but go all out!

WOD

Power Snatch – 1,1,1,1,1,1,1  start at 60% of 1 rep max (if you have one.  If not, you’ll find a good starting point in the warmup) and try to move up in weight every set.  Sets will be 2 min apart.

As in this video(courtesy of CrossFit.com), ensure each rep is successful.  Meaning, your arms are locked out when you hit your quarter-squat landing.  Then, and only then, do you stand all the way up.  If you do not get a SUCCESSFUL rep, you do not move up in weight.

Skill/Strength Work

Dynamic Box Squats

Every Minute On the Minute for 10 min

2 Box Squats

These will engage the posterior chain like nothing else!  They will also stress the explosive fast-twitch muscle fibers.  Why is that important?  You want to be stronger?  Sprint faster?  Get that viloent pull to do a sucessful kipping pullup?  Fast-twitch fibers, my friend.

Important things to remember.  Fully warm up your hips and low back.  Wouldn’t hurt to come in a little early and start this on your own.

For box depth, ensure when seated, your hip crease is right at 90 degress.  That said, the box may only be a stack of bumpers.

Two major focuses here LEGS and BACK!  Keep them tight through the movement.  No relaxation in the sitting position – this is a must!  Each rep is separate – meaning reset yourself each time.

Sit to box with legs tight and back tight – Explode up! Dynamic piece is the execution piece that makes this a huge assistance exercise to the squat.  We’ll take a few sets with light weight to get you used to this.

Work up to using roughly 70% of your 1RM for regular back squat.   But remember, key is dynamic EXPLOSION!
