Standards (courtesy of the CF Games website):
This workout begins from the standing position with the barbell on the floor and the Athlete standing tall. Each time the Athlete returns to the deadlift they will be responsible for loading their own barbell to the next appropriate weight. The same barbell must be used for the entire workout, and the Athlete may not receive assistance when changing the loads. Using additional pre-loaded barbells is not permitted. At the end of each set of 15 box jumps time should be marked. When you submit your final result, your score will be the number of reps completed. There will be another field in which you will enter the time of the last completed sets of box jumps.
Every rep counts in this workout. Credit will be given for partially completed rounds. You will enter your result by the total number of reps completed plus your tiebreak time.

I think most of us were pretty pumped about DLs and box jumps (read: step-ups). I hadn’t tried for a 1 RM in a long time, but last I did I think it was 140#. I wasn’t sure how this would feel, but I made it through 5 reps at 155#! Woohoo! I was very worried about my back and had Coach Steph watch me like a hawk to make sure my form was good, and luckily she gave me the green light to keep going. Such a fun workout!!

There has been a lot of discussion about whether the Open is really for everyone or not, particularly considering this year’s Open has been a little tougher for newbies than previous ones. I think the Open definitely can be for everyone, but everyone needs to go in with the expectation they may not be able to do all the movements — and that’s okay! As long as I’m healthy, I plan to do the Open every year because it pushes me to new limits and helps me accomplish things I didn’t know I could do.
