  • Medicine ball of appropriate weight for your division

CrossFit Open Workout 20.5 Strategy and Tips Guide

Here’s some 20.5 tips and tricks to get your best score possible:

  • Pre-chalk the rings.
  • Since this is a “for time” workout , be sure the rower is setup so you can get in and out quickly. You will want to partition the reps most effectively (see next tip.)
  • You can partition the reps any way you like – so switch moves to keep your work rate as high as possible. But, do not perform max sets on the wall ball or muscle up to fatigue or failure – keep it conservative.

Good luck!
