CrossFit Open Workout 25.2

The CrossFit Open Workout 25.2 is a test of strength, endurance, and gymnastic skills, challenging athletes with a series of escalating movements and increasing weights.

Workout Structure:

For time, complete the following sequence within a 12-minute cap:

• 21 pull-ups
• 42 double-unders
• 21 thrusters (weight 1)
• 18 chest-to-bar pull-ups
• 36 double-unders
• 18 thrusters (weight 2)
• 15 bar muscle-ups
• 30 double-unders
• 15 thrusters (weight 3)

Prescribed Weights:

• Female athletes: 65 lb (29 kg), 75 lb (34 kg), 85 lb (38 kg)
• Male athletes: 95 lb (43 kg), 115 lb (52 kg), 135 lb (61 kg)

Key Movement Standards:

• Pull-Ups: Begin each rep with arms fully extended and feet off the ground. Any grip style is permitted. The rep is credited when the chin clearly breaks the horizontal plane of the bar.
• Double-Unders: The rope must pass under the feet twice during a single jump, spinning forward.
• Thrusters: Each rep starts with the barbell on the ground. Athletes must pass below parallel in the squat, and the rep is credited when hips, knees, and arms are fully extended with the bar directly over or behind the middle of the body.
• Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups: Start from a full hang with arms extended. Any grip and pull-up style are allowed. The chest must make clear contact with the bar at or below the collarbone.
• Bar Muscle-Ups: Begin at full extension hanging below the bar. No part of the foot can rise above the lowest part of the bar during the kip. Finish with arms locked out at the top, shoulders over the bar.

Tiebreak Information:

A tiebreak time is recorded after each set of thrusters. If an athlete does not complete the workout within the time cap, the tiebreak time will determine their ranking among others with the same number of reps.

Strategy and Tips:

• Pacing: Maintain a steady pace to manage fatigue, especially during high-rep movements like double-unders.
• Efficient Transitions: Minimize rest between movements to conserve time.
• Movement Proficiency: Ensure adherence to movement standards to avoid no-reps, which can be costly in both time and energy.
• Tiebreak Awareness: Be mindful of tiebreak times, as they can influence overall ranking in the event of incomplete workouts.
