Expectations for 15.2?

Any thoughts on what they’ll program for 15.2?
I’m sure my box will program it as a part of the Friday WOD, so I may end up doing it off the books. I have a tough mudder on Saturday, so I might skip the Friday WOD if it is too extreme.

Now that would be interesting indeed...

I am foreseeing something gymnastics heavy like C2B pull-ups.0

I'm thinking that 15.1 and 15.1a is going to be the easiest and most fun of the bunch!0

Looks like you are the winner!I am foreseeing something gymnastics heavy like C2B pull-ups.
I gotta say, Dave Castro cracks me up. He really tries to milk these announcements for all they're worth. I kinda get the impression that he's dropped the "don't you know who I am?" card at a CrossFit gym or two in his day.

Another to look up would be to go to the Grid League's page on Facebook. It was started by one of the guys Wolf mentions above, Tony Budding. Last year at some point, Budding posted something about one of the investors pulling out and the league having a cash crunch. Wolf was one of the first if not THE first person to respond and was pretty much like "HA HA!"0 -
I totally called it. If the patterns hold true, C2B won't show up again for the rest of the open. I already know my score = 10. UGH.0

^same here....Might as well do it RX.0
-
Yeah - 1 rep RX is better than 400 scaled.0
-
I think last I just took my 10 reps then did ring rows and got into round 3 maybe0
-
Finished with 63-Rx. I was fighting hard to nail out those CTb and get back to the ohs but shoulder fatigued and got 4 no reps at the end0

If you get less reps RX, it will still push you ahead with your score just because it's not scaled? Forgive me, I'm new. Just wondering if I should have attempted the RX weight for OHS cause I was sure I wasn't going to get a pull-up (and didn't).

Yes flab2fab27. Any RX score will rank over any scaled attempt. Everyone I know who can't do c2b did 10 ohs at RX and then stopped because they will rank above people who went scaled. I know a few people though who know it does not matter because they are a million miles from getting in to regionals so they did scaled and got a really good work out for the day - and I have to say I liked their attitude.
I completely buggared up and could not even get squats and no repped out. I was not going low enough. I think my head was not in the game and I was pretty cranky with myself and was going to try and get back in the morning to do it but really cant manage it and have decided it does not matter. I can still do the other workouts and enjoy the process.0 -
I will be doing RX just to get my 10 reps. I can't do any kind of pull up so scaled is utterly pointless. I will do the squats then 10 ring rows just to do the workout.0

Just gives you one think to work on in the next year. Like me with C2B

Judged a guy yesterday who's 1rm overhead squat was 30kg - that's the men's scaled weight. He banged out 6 unbroken in his first round! Amazing to see him do one tentative squat and get his confidence to smash the other 5 out.
I think it's probably down to mobility but at our box, the men are having a much harder time with the OHS Rx weight than the women.
Castro sounds like a total a-hole. I knew there was something fishy about that man when I watched him on Froning v Fraser.0 -
I used RX weight, did 2 C2B for a total score of 12RX, then did the rest of the wod chin over bar for the pullup portion. 70 reps total. Weight wasn't the issue for me here.
I have a feeling that every WOD will have one higher skill movement that will force people to do scaled. This is my first open, so maybe it was always that way. I don't give a flip about my score, so I will modify just like any other WOD if necessary.0 -
Last year, my score was a frustrating 10. OHS at 65lb were a challenge for me and I got through 10 reps in sets of 3 and 2. I didn't have pull-ups yet and remember spending the remaining time struggling to get my first C2B. I didn't get one and I was so unbelievably frustrated.
This year, I went into 15.2 with a lot of anxiety. OHS were much easier for me a year later, but pull-ups continue to be my goat. I have kipping pull-ups (in doubles and singles) and 1-2 strict, but I never had a C2B. I attempted 15.2 on Friday and was able to walk away with a score of 12 but was not satisfied with that so I redid it on Saturday and got a score of 17. I alternated between overhand and underhand grip on the bar which helped. They were ugly for sure, but 7 more than I could do a year ago.

They didn't allow me to do Rx... and I knew for a fact I could get 10 OHS with 65. I was kind of upset about the whole thing to be honest.0
-
Who didn't allow you? No one, not even CF HQ can make that decision for you. Your choice, all the way0
