Corey Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Is anyone else who does Crossfit signed up for the Open this year? This is my 3rd Open competition. Our box is doing an intermural team deal so that will be fun, but I basically have zero chance of moving on to Regionals, haha. Who else is getting ready for 5 weeks of hell?

FishnHuntIN Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 I just signed up today, this will be my first. Not sure I'm ready for it, to be honest! But hey, why not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted February 20, 2015 Author Share Posted February 20, 2015 You'll never be "ready". Think of this as a benchmark in time. Next year, you can look back and see how far you've come. My box has been programming some old the past couple years workouts the last month or so and I've been topping everyone of my scores from last year. Improvement!!

Ultimo-Hombre Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 Corey, Is this something only for top performers? Or do they have divisions for soft little bitches like me? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motosapiens Posted February 20, 2015 Share Posted February 20, 2015 (edited) Corey, Is this something only for top performers? Or do they have divisions for soft little bitches like me? Hey Erik, I think the whole sport is for soft little bitches like you. Big hard bitches race motorcycles or bicycles or play hockey. They haven't got time for slightly butch aerobicize. Why would anyone even participate in an activity outside of marriage that was '5 weeks of hell' when there are so many fun ways to compete and stay in shape (like racing bicycles or playing hockey, for example....) Unless of course you can wangle some way to get it counted as duty time... Edited February 20, 2015 by motosapiens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt asked me to design a stage... Burpees and pull-ups in the WSB mo-fo! ( probably the last time anyone asks me to design a stage )? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

( probably the last time anyone asks me to design a stage ) I don't know if I'm more skeered of physical activity or of the toxic effects of shooting indoors. Can you bring some of those fire-guy respirator gizmos? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonytheTiger Posted February 21, 2015 Share Posted February 21, 2015 That's hilarious Seth! Mostly because I stumbled upon a free pallet of that stuff awhile back and drank most of it in a month. I had no urges to do yoga or meditate, but nor did I turn into a bro. No harm done I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corey Posted February 23, 2015 Author Share Posted February 23, 2015 Jokes aside, the Open is for just about everyone. In fact, since the vast majority of people who sign up will never make Regionals, this is the beginning and end of my CrossFit Games season. This is the playoffs and Super Bowl all together, haha. Find a box near you and sign up. you won't forget it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FishnHuntIN Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 Did it Saturday, ended up scaling it. 123 reps, 155# C&J. What grip strength I have was even less with a messed-up finger on my right hand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ultimo-Hombre Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I had to scale the snatch to 95. So dosnt matter if I did 180 reps, no rx= no numbers to me. Tell me I'm wrong, I really don't care. Disheartened with my performance lately. So... 0 f#%ks given. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted March 4, 2015 Author Share Posted March 4, 2015 Just think how great you'll feel when you do it again in a few months and RX it! This is just a small step 15.2 tomorrow...I'm thinking something to test capacity. Longer timeframe and some double unders or burpees in it.

Just think how great you'll feel when you do it again in a few months and RX it! This is just a small step 15.2 tomorrow...I'm thinking something to test capacity. Longer timeframe and some double unders or burpees in it. Burpees, sure go ahead. Double unders, no way man. Definitely need work on those...

Corey Posted March 6, 2015 Author Share Posted March 6, 2015 Well 15.2 is 14.2! Last year this one nearly destroyed me. We just did it about a month ago so I know I can improve from last year. we'll find out tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted March 9, 2015 Author Share Posted March 9, 2015 87 reps last year, 125 this year. I like improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FishnHuntIN Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 87 reps last year, 125 this year. I like improvement. Nice! Scaled mine again, 55 reps. Missed the 3rd round by one rep, I think I took too long between pull-up sets. Something else to work on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted March 16, 2015 Author Share Posted March 16, 2015 did 15.3 Friday night. wasn't thrilled to see muscle ups but ended up getting the 7 in the first round and then 2 more in the 2nd. Im pretty happy with that. tore my wrists up pretty bad with my false grip, though lol. Wont be practicing them for at least a week Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corey Posted March 30, 2015 Author Share Posted March 30, 2015 Oops, been awhile. 15.4 I got 36. redid it a couple days later and got 47 with a split time almost a minute faster. 15.5 11:16. Never doing that hell again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
