The 2023 CrossFit Open is still underway. In week two of its multi-week format, the 23.2 workout has been revealed. CrossFit HQ made a live announcement of the workout at 1 p.m. Eastern Standard Time on Thursday, Feb. 23, 2023. It was a showcase battle between 2021 CrossFit Games Men’s runner-up Patrick Vellner and 2022 CrossFit Games runner-up Roman Khrennikov.

Workout 23.2 is divided into two parts. Part A is a combination of burpee pull-ups and shuttle runs. Part B features a one-rep max thruster.

The 2023 CrossFit Open will continue during the final week of February 2023, heading into the first week of the month of March.
