This year had all of the traits of the past opens combined, and then some. They repeated a workout, they kept the rower in there, they did a workout for time instead of with a ca, they had some heavy technical movements, a fatigued 1RM clean and jerk, and some longer work capacity workouts - this was also the first year they didn't have burpees in the open though, so thats nice, right?

Everything. Be prepared for everything. Not only is the judges course incredibly vague (the last few years were long and filled with at least 50 movements) You can expect the possibility of: Movements at the start of a workout with a higher relative technical ability, heavy movements, max effort lifts, workouts to finish, EMOM workouts, repeated workouts. Just be ready for everything. In the prior years when they had something hard you couldn't do, you'd get in, try to do one rep, and that was the end of it - But the cool thing about it is with last year and this year, there is a scaled division, which is awesome, and you can bounce back and forth between Rx'd and Scaled. Like I said in an earlier post - Rx'd is something that has to be earned, and the open each year is more than just a competition, its a test to tell you what you should be practicing for the entire next year. So sign up, work your ass off, then get back to it for the next year.
