JP and Geo jump on and talk about how to prep for the upcoming CrossFit Open Season!
The CrossFit Open is 5 weeks long and consists of 5 different workouts each week. Everyone from around the world can participate in the open. It is an exciting time in the world of CrossFit!
Most of the open workouts are a test of the good ol' engine. How fast can push, pull, row, and jump in 7-18 minutes. There are strength events and you need to have good control of a barbell, but if your engine is not tuned up you will feel it.
