Workout of the Week 3/7/22

Another week and another open workout to try at home. This Workout of the Week will be a modified version of Open Workout 22.2. If you have a barbell at home, check out the official workout here. For the rest of us, I have created an at-home workout similar to the open workout.

This Open really has me wishing I was back in CrossFit gym because I would have loved to do these workouts and test my abilities. So far I would have been able to do them both at RX even if it would be slower. I will definitely be back at it next year barring any major changes.

For today's workout, you will need a set of dumbbells and some space. I have adjustable dumbbells that I will be using for this workout.

Movements

For deadlifts start by holding the weight at hip level standing up straight. Then you will lower the weights to the ground, making sure to keep a straight and strong back position, slightly bending the legs. Once you touch the ground, stand back up, keeping the weights close to the body. 

Next are burpees, one of our favorite cardio movements. For this you will start in a standing position, then bring your hands down to the ground near your feet as you jump your feet backward. This will put you in a plank position, from here do a push-up making sure that your chest touches the ground. Then you will jump your feet back up to your hands and then stand all the way up and finish with a jump clapping your hands over your head.

Workout of the Week

1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-9-8-7-6-5-4-3-2-1 Reps For Time

• DB Deadlifts
• Burpee

Scaling options would be to decrease the weight. To scale burpees you can not do the pushup or do it against a wall or bench. To make the workout even harder do DB facing burpees.
