S7E215: Crossfit Open 26.2: Tips and Strategy


Listen Later

We break down the new Open workout and show you how to choose RX or scale, pace the lunges and snatches, and arrive at the final gymnastics with confidence. Mobility, mindset, and smart reps-per-minute planning turn a chaotic test into a clear plan.

• choosing RX or scale using a two‑thirds rule
• leaderboard quirks and why stimulus matters
• scaled path realities for jumping and strict pull limits
• overhead lunge mobility and non‑alternating rule
• universal pacing to protect final gymnastics
• reps‑per‑minute math and scorecard details
• tiebreak trade‑offs versus total reps gained
• mental game for failed attempts and confidence
• warm‑up that simulates fatigue and counts steps
