  1. Coach,

    If we qualified for Regionals for Teams, do we switch from Open to Regionals until May?

    Thanks again for putting this programming out there!

    2. Thanks Adam! Made it in Teams. Happy. I think it will be next year, with another full year of CompWod and "goat shooting" :)

  2. Ben, thanks!!! I know everyone here is tremendously thankful for the programming on this site! I myself have seen a nearly 800 person jump in position on the leader board from last year to this.... due in no small part to this programming! Now for us Open guys... any chance you will bring back the Get Ha-uge phase? If one thing is certain my absolute strength and power endurance are weaknesses that need improving!

    1. Here is what Ben replied to Tyler Bennett March 24:

      "We no longer follow a periodized approach like "Get Ha-uge". The approach we follow now is posted in the programming philosophy."

      Hope that helps!

  3. Had to dig deep today to do the program after doing 14.5 yesterday. Feeling flat...

    OPEN
    Score - 5 Rounds + 200m run + 7 reps

    All Power cleans unbroken , C2B is one of my strong points but I just could not hit butterfly properly today, was some weird looking gymnastic kip with a butterfly attempt. This slowed me down a bit. Should have had 6 full rounds +

    Resting up now till Monday night then gonna hit 14.5 again

    2. Hey Jeremiah. My name is Adam. I'm new on here and this was my first WOD following the OPEN prescription. Sometimes I have to work out by myself, so as a way to stay motivated and push myself, I saw you had the best performace. So I wrote down your score on my white board and gunned for it. You won:) I'll try and get you next time:) I did 5 rounds + 100 meter run.

      On another note, I like your pic of you in Africa. I've done quite a bit of travelling myself on little mission trips....mexico...Dominican republic...jamaica

  4. Open
    4R+3 strict pullup
    Did strict pullups as my left shoulder still painful since 14.1 ! 14.5 did not feel me better.
    Cleans in UB round 1 then 4/3
    Pullup UB then 4/3
    Can't wait to start a new year prep to kill those weaknesses. I don't know for you all but for me, this year's open have more exposed myself to my weaknesses than last years.

  5. 14.5 - did it this morning with rest of the CompWOD-ers from Apex.

    13:24 - 21/12+6/9+6/8+4/9/6/3. I am happy with my time. IF I redo this ill break up the thrusters a little more in the higher rounds and try to take shorter rest breaks. Awesome work this year to everyone. It's awesome to be a part of great group of people. I hope a CompWOD weekend gets set for this summer to meet some of you guys.

    1. Nice work Michael! Your enthusiasm and positivity is a beacon for this community. You are one hell of an athlete too. Thanks for the inspiration an looking forward to the coming months of training with this community. I said I was done with 14.5 after I finished it.. But I may give it one more whirl on Monday. Change up my strategy - break up the thrusters earlier and do all step ups.. See what happens!

    Did 14.5 this morning with most of Apex Comp followers - 12:26 First open workout this year that I felt good going in as these are strong movements for me. I'm content with my time and not sure if I'll redo. All of you crushed the open this year and good luck to all that are going to regionals!

  13. Regionals

    I had to complete each portion of the workout every 10th minutes due to time constraints. It definitely didn't make it easier. Ha!

    1.) 4:26rx
    2.) 4:20rx
    3.) 5:20rx
    4.) 5:08rx

    Had a ton of fun with this one. Wish I could have rested the full time to push my times a little bit. Thanks, Ben, for everything you do for the community! This has been a wonderful experience since following.

  16. So for folks following the open programming...do we jump into training for the 2015 open. With seeing the strength portion in the open this year should we do 2 months of Get Huge as "Off Season" training? Was just curious for what's in store.

  23. Sometimes you just have to take a step back and have some fun. I was planning on dropping back a day on the regional programming like i had been doing before the open started. So I used today to rest a lot and just have some fun at the gym. Jogged a 5K for a good friends son that has CF this morning. Broke out the ole axel bar and did a few different emotms and complexs. Refreshing day and ready to hit this day of programming tomorrow!

  27. Hello Everyone! Let me introduce myself. My name is Adam McGhee. I'm from Little Rock, Arkansas. I'm an insurance agent for the family business, have a wife and 3 beautiful kids. I've been doing Crossfit for 4 years now. I have my Crossfit Level 1, and have been coaching others in Crossfit on the side for a couple years. I train in my shop building out back behind my house. I have just about everything I need back there. Enough about me.

    I'm very impressed with the programming on this site. Please consider me part of your community. I have aspirations of making it to Regionals 2015. I will be following the OPEN prescription.

    OPEN:
    5 rounds, 100 meter run. I've been having mobility issues, so this was my first workout in over a week and a half. My goal was to make 5 rounds. I'm happy with my performance. I give my intensity score a 9.

    Thanks, everyone!
