CrossFit Open Workout 20.2: Equipment & Gear

Equipment needed:

• dumbbells,
• a pull-up bar,
• and a jump rope – preferably a speed rope.

Your best bet is to use the jump rope you normally use – this isn’t the time to switch models.

Wrist bands to keep sweat away from your grip are useful as well.

For maintaining grip on the Toes to Bars:

If you use chalk, resist the urge to chalk too often this will waste time. See how little you can get away with.

Using tape on the pull-up bar might be a good idea for this workout.

This is a high number of reps for Toes to Bar – so hand grips can be helpful too. These don’t just provide grip, but also hand protection.

CrossFit Open Workout 20.2 Strategy Guide

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

• Perform a warm-up beforehand – but not too much
• Find a rhythm or pace and try to maintain it – this is a long workout – so don’t burn out in the first 5 minutes.
• Transitions are important – there are lots of them in this 20 minute workout – you want to minimize time moving from one “station” to the next – so keep your gear located close.
• Have a second jump rope or speed rope on standby – in case the first one breaks.
• Double or triple knot your shoelaces – jumping rope has a tendency to make knots come un-done.
• Chalk the pull-up bar – and use wrist bands to keep the sweat off your palms.

Good luck!
