CrossFit Open 2019: what is Workout 19.2? Full details from week two announcement
- Organisers release details for second workout in live announcement from Sydney, Australia
- Five-week competition offers places at CrossFit Games for top 20 finishers
The 2019 CrossFit Open is well under way and organisers have announced the week two workout – and it’s a brutal one.
Places at this summer’s CrossFit Games are up for grabs for the top 20 male and female finishers in the five-week competition, where participants video themselves completing the weekly workout and submit scores online.
Workout 19.2 is a repeat of Open workout 16.2 three years ago, with squat cleans decreasing in reps but increasing in weight after every round.
The athlete’s time cap is extended by four minutes each time a round is completed, until the workout is finished or the athlete fails to complete the work within the time cap.
Athletes’ scores will be their total number of reps completed within the time cap or the total time taken to complete the entire workout.
