How I’m Training for the 2025 CrossFit Open

[@shauninoregon]

45 year-old-male here. Got back into CrossFit after beating cancer. Mr. Grubb has been an inspiration for the past year-plus. This'll be my first Open. I'll go scaled, but I'm totally stoked for it. I'm great at body weight stuff, like pull-ups, endurance, running, BJs. Not so great with heavy weights, so I hope the heavy snatches aren't in the Open. Thanks for the constant motivation! And, yes, I'll be cheering for your sixth win!

[@JasonGrubb]

Let's go!! Honored to be an inspiration - you're an inspiration to me - beating cancer. Boom!

[@dannickless4248]

This will be first CrossFit year for the open. No DU & no overhead squats!

[@JasonGrubb]

I have my fingers crossed!

I'm with you on 24.1. I remember looking at that workout and thinking, "I like those two moments and I can actually do the Rx weights. This isn't going to be all that bad." Then I did the workout and realized just how wrong I was. 😂 It was one of those workouts where the harder you pushed, the harder it pushed back.

Would like to see crossovers and pullovers this year to spice it up

[@JasonGrubb]

Oh that would be wild.

2021 had thrusters in 21.2 !

Being a 45-year-old novice, 5’10” and only 167 lbs, I’d love to see workouts like 24.1 and 2, 19.1, or even 17.5. Anything with MU’s and/or heavy barbells and I’m toast!

24.1- it killed me

[@steele901]

This is my first year to officially participate. I still suck at DUs, RMUs and OH BD Lunges, so I don't want to see any of those. Obviously, we'll see all those, now that I put that our in the universe🤣😒

[@crossbowhunter9118]

Work on dubs 5 mins a day now until the first open workout. You may surprise your self.

[@crossbowhunter9118]

I worked on dubs for 8 months 5 min a day and I was able to do dubs in the open. Speed rope is the way to go

[@steele901]

@@crossbowhunter9118 Good advice! That's actually my current game plan. I've been doing dubs 10 minutes a day for about a month and a half and that's been working pretty well. I've seen improvement! Hoping to get to a place where I can do big sets consistently. I am jealous when I hear people days DUs feel like rest during a WOD🤯

[@JasonGrubb]

Ha ha!! Yes! Now, we'll have all of those!

[@JasonGrubb]

I did 'flight simulator' or 1/2 flight simulator multiple times a week when I was learning.

[@PaulKane-pm5kb]

No thrusters please...

[@lanamarcine8064]

No OH lunges please!

[@JasonGrubb]

I could be on board with that.

7 min burpees 🤮
