The 2015 Reebok CrossFit Games Open
kicks off with a two-part workout 15.1
and 15.1a, each part being scored
as separate events. 15.1 is as many rounds and repetitions as possible
in 9 minutes of: 15 toes-to-bar,
10 dead lifts, and 5 snatches. The men's weight for this workout is
115 pounds. Women's weight is 75 pounds.
Immediately following the completion of 15.1, the clock
will continue to run for an additional 6 minutes.
During this six-minute window the athlete must complete workout
15.1a, a one-rep-max
clean and jerk.
At the call of 3, 2, 1... Go!
the athlete begins their toes-to-bar. Every repetition of toes-to-bar starts
with the athlete
hanging at full extension and the heel behind the vertical plane that
the pull-up bar creates.
The repetition is counted when both feet touch the pull-up bar
at the same time, between the hands.
The athlete may make contact with any portion of the foot and the repetition
will still count. If the feet do not make contact
at the same time, that rep will not count.
If the athlete does not start the repetition
with their heels behind the bar, that repetition is a No Rep.
The deadlift begins with the barbell
on the ground, and finishes when the athletes stands up the weight,
to full extension of the knees and hips, with their shoulders behind the bar at
the top of the movement. The athlete may choose
any grip they like but their feet must be inside their hands.
No sumo stances are permitted. Once the athlete has achieved lockout they may drop
the barbell from the top. any repetition that is
bounced will not count. If the athlete fails to extend their hips at the top of
the repetition, these reps will not count.
If the athlete does not lock out their knees at the
those reps will not count. For the barbell snatch
the athlete must bring the bar from the ground to the overhead position
in one smooth motion.
This is not a ground-to-overhead anyhow. A clean and jerk,
where the bar is lifted to the shoulders and then lifted overhead
is a no rep. We need to see the arms,
hips and knees fully locked out with the barbell
clearly over the profile the athlete's body. Once the athlete has
reached lockout the repetition will count. The athlete may choose to do a
split style snatch.
However, both feet must return back under the athlete's body
while lockout is maintained before the repetition will count.
If you are not using full-size bumper plates for this workout
you must start every repetition with the barbell below the knee.
If the athlete bounces the repetition,
that a no rep. Any repetition
where the athlete does not reach full extension is a no rep.
Your score for f15.1 is the total number of repetitions completed
within the 9 minutes.
Immediately following the completion of 15 .1, the clock will continue to run for an
additional 6 minutes.
During this 6-minute window the athlete must complete workout
15.1a, a one-rep-max
clean and jerk.
No assistance may be given in the loading of the bar.
Clips must be used and plates smaller than 1/2 pound are not permitted.
Before the lift, the athlete must look at their judge
and declare
how much weight they are attempting to clean and jerk.
"156"
Upon completion up the lift show all plates that were used
and the weight of the barbell itself. A 20-kg barbell should be
recorded as 45 lb.
A 15-kg bar should be reported as 35 lb. when you submit your
Before and during the workout ensure the athlete has adequate space in their
lifting area,
clear of plates, obstacles, or other people.
Clean and jerk starts with the weight on the floor
and finishes with a barbell fully locked out
overhead with the arms, hips, and legs
extended, and the bar over the center of the
athlete's body when viewed from profile. If the athlete
fails to reach extension of the hips and knees before the weight is brought back
down or dropped, that repetition
will not count.
If the athlete chooses to do a split style, both feet must return back
under the athlete's body and the hips and knees
must reach extension before the repetition will count.
If the athlete does not lock out their arms at the top of the repetition
that rep will not count.
If the athlete does not finish with the bar over the center of their body,
that rep will not count.
Remember, workout 15.1a takes place
immediately after 15.1. Only you're single
heaviest successful lift will be counted for your score.
