Predictions??
I have a feeling - a very bad feeling - that we will be seeing a thruster/burpee combo in the next couple weeks...

saw on instagram that the hint was that it's a chipper...
my prediction is that we'll see TTB, burpees, and wall balls in this one. I'm thinking thrusters and muscle ups for 14.50 -
Open is always some version of an AMRAP, so I doubt it'd be anything that could end...0
-
Sure it can. It would just have a time cap and tie break times for anyone who might finish0
-
It would be an amrep vs an amrap. Doesn't always have to be rounds. It can totally be a chipper within a set time frame0
-
Think about 14.3... It had an "end" to it, even though no one hit it. The rounds did not infinitely go on. If someone did, they would have used their tie break time of when they finished the last box jump.0

I agree with you totally. It could also be a sort of chipper like the last couple of years with wallballs when Castro did the wallball, DU, MU combo where if you finish within the time cap, you start over on the chipper.
Although, I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that he'll do thrusters in place of the burpees, though I see the logic there (like some sort of terribly mutated fran with thrusters and muscle ups). Call me hopeful, lol0 -

I was thinking thrusters and burpee bar jumps.0 -

Add in either Wall Balls and/or T2B and I think you nailed 14.4 !!!0 -
hopefully not thrusters AND wallballs considering they are essentially the same movement!!0

I just did this on Monday, I'M NOT GOING BACK...YOU CAN'T MAKE ME....I'M NOT GOING BACK!!!!0 -
Burpees are definitely coming. And I think they are going to be bar burpees.
Thrusters, burpees, T2B.0 -
And the results are in (but I'm standing by my thruster/burpee combo prediction for 14.5!!)
14.4:
60 calorie row
50 T2B
40 wall balls (20lb to 10", 14lb to 9")
30 power cleans (135/95lb)
20 Muscle ups
AMREP - 14 mins
Safe to say our hands are NOT going to enjoy this one!!0 -
Well, my count will be 60.0
-
what a bummer. I got my first few muscle ups today and was excited to be able to do at least 1 during the open wod, but sadly, 14 minutes is an unrealistic time frame to get through the row, ttb, wall balls, and cleans in time. i'm predicting i get it all up to 6 cleans. my rowing is terrible. and i'm short. ugh.0
-
This workout looks like a great chipper, but I also am sad that I probably won't make it too far into the cleans. I'm actually not sure what I'll realistic do in 14 minutes...wish I could keep going and finish it out, this looks like a great one!!
And who knows, maybe I'd get my first muscle up?!? (insert laughter here)0 -
Can someone explain rowing for calories to me? I have only ever rowed for time.0

One of the display settings on the C2 rower has calories burned. According to C2's site, it uses "a formula based on a 175 pound individual".0 -

OK, that's kinda what I thought. Basically like a calorie tracker on a treadmill or an elliptical machine.0 -

Yes exactly0 -
This was definitely not one of my best. All the things I'm not that good at. I prefer weights to endurance. I guess it just shows my weakness and what I need to work on this year
I only hit 145 total. The T2B were killer. I don't string them and I get tired, so I was on the bar for about 7-8 minutes
Good luck to the rest of you!!
I think 14.5 will be the Thrusters and Burpees0 -
I think the trick to a WOD like this is to have strategic rest times. I usually go to about 95% and then need longer breaks, regardless of what the movement is, whereas it would be so much more efficient to go to 80% and only take a couple seconds before getting back to it. This will be especially helpful for T2B which I'm still working on (can string them together easily, but my toes are about 5cm away from the bar) so I reckon I'll have to make a point of stopping just short of exhausted, take a second, and then get straight back to it.
I much prefer strength to endurance, but I'm actually pretty excited to give this one a go on Monday.0 -
Well you can go ahead and add me to the most crowded club on the leaderboard at 180 reps. I finished the cleans at 13:53 and took one look at the rings was like nope. T2B were terrible because I don't have the kip so I can't string them together so I really had to motor through the rest of the workout which thankfully played to my strengths since I'm taller at 5'7'' and 95 is a light clean for me. Finished the row in just over 3:30, took forever and a day on T2B, 4 sets of 10 on the wall balls (we always throw to 10 ft so 9ft felt like nothing which was nice), and 30 cleans in 2:40.0

169 for me, RX'd, and I'm stoked. My goal was to get to the cleans so was very happy to get through 19 of them. The row took more out of me than expected but I also did it faster than usual in 3.30 mins. T2B were done in sets of 5-6 to save my hands which can tear easily, wall balls in 4 sets of 10. When I got to the bar I did the first clean and expected it to be a lot harder than it was, so got through the rest in sets of 3. Aside from the fact that 14.4 combined with our second WOD were an absolute killer, I'm a happy girl right now. I've done much better in all of the open WODs than expected and have RX'd everything except C2B (scaled to chin ups) so go me!! :P0

@jordymills - Congrats on your 14.4 score !!!! *I'll be doing it tonight and just hoping to make it through all the T2B. Already planning on breaking them down in sets of 5. I'll post my score later.0 -
Great job everyone. I finished the row in about 3:45 and tried about 5 T2Bs but could not get it. Just did knee raises so I could get in good workout. Got to about 160 reps or so. If I had just conceded the T2Bs I could have finished them but I had to give it a try.0

What do you guys mean by 'chipper'?
And I know what AMRAP is, but for the life of me can't think what AMREP is? What does the E stand for?0 -
As I understand it:
AMRAP = As Many Rounds As Possible
AMREP = As Many Reps As Possible
Also, a chipper is usually a long WOD that you have to "chip away at" to complete.
CrossFit - we love to confuse the **** out of people.0 -
14.4 score: 150
The row went as expected, kept it well-paced and finished in under 3:20.
T2B - If you include the "no-reps" probably did about 65. Not my favorite, but pushed through them (*tore-up my left hand pretty good).
Wall Balls - Got through all 40.
Cleans - Got my hands on the bar as time expired.
Muscle Ups - Never got to them . . . couldn't have done one anyway :-)
**Looking forward to 14.5 !!!0 -

Still learning all the acronyms 0 -
A chipper is usually a WOD where you only do each thing once. So 14.4 would normally not have a time cap and it would just be a matter of 'chipping away' and getting through the whole thing, but because it's an open WOD it has to have a cap for those who can't do muscle ups. Because the open WODs can't be scaled, some people could literally be doing MUs for hours if there was no time cap :P0
