Proficiency in toes-to-bar has been a separator in every open thus far. Don't expect this year to be any different.

The final 4 weeks of your open preparation means that you are that much closer to reaching your goals.

CrossFit does not follow the distinctions of weightlifting or powerlifting and instead will use terms like ground-to-overhead, or shoulder-to-overhead to describe barbell movements.

Prepping for the CrossFit Open, you may think you understand the lifting movements, but CrossFit has its own spin on things.

To compete in the Open, there are more movements than ever to master.

This is the initial 4 week phase beginning your 2017 CrossFit Open preparatory workouts. It's a great way to set fitness goals that you can work towards in a clear, well defined manner.
