Today’s workout is Open Workout 18.1. In 2018, the men's and women's high scores were 15+ rounds (487 reps for men and 452 reps for women), and the average score in 2018 was about 9 rounds for both men and women. The trick to this workout lies in rowing just fast enough to complete the work quickly without burning out. Scale the toes-to-bars to hanging knee raises or lying leg raises on the floor to finish each round's reps in under 90 seconds. Perform 5 dumbbell hang clean and jerks on each arm, ideally selecting a load that allows you to finish each round in 1 minute or less. That said, even if you can't hit the target score, consider performing this workout Rx'd as long as you can maintain sound mechanics and are up for the challenge.
