Making sure you don't rip is a HUGE part of 24.3. My favorite way to prevent blisters and rips is by using the SandBar Callus File. It's super easy to use and makes sure that all of your calluses are smooth and ready to lots of pull-ups and bar muscle ups! Go to store.sandbarcalluscare.com and use the code WODPREP to get a free large "Sandbar Salve" which can help heal blisters, and prevent them from ever happening.
=================================================================
The 24.3 CrossFit®️ Open Workout has landed, and I’m SO ready for this. We're going to give you all the tips and tricks you need to crush this workout.
The 24.3 Open workout is a two-part workout for time:
5rds of 7 Thrusters, 7 Chest-to-Bar Pull-Ups into 1 minute rest, then, 5rds of 7 Thrusters, 7 Muscle Ups.
Be careful. 24.3 is tricky and will mess you up if you pace it wrong. Your grip will fatigue quickly, and you could find yourself staring up at the rig for too long. We don’t want that to happen and that’s why we’ve got you covered.
This video covers our tips, tricks and quick wins for 24.3, including how to efficiently work through these movements and how to pace this workout to achieve your best time!

Right there with you. I feel like if we manage to finish the first part we'll be so burned out that the 135 is going to feel like 300. I am going to try to do no belt or sleeves for the 95, then I'll strap a belt and put on sleeves for part 2 hoping that'll help

I have the same thoughts about the second part. I can do bmu but I feel the weight is going to be tough. My strategy currently is to go unbroken on the first part simply to give myself time on the second part. Because i know how hard that second part is going to be.

This is the best Tips & Tricks video ever. I'm between level 1 and 2 and I did the workout even before seeing this video but i knew already the trick was to do SINGLE C2B. It worked because it allows to keep moving with very small rest. I finished first portion (tiebreak) in 10 mins, then after the rest i did the 7 Thrusters at 135# and that's it

I am back here to report that I almost got through a whole first round of the second sets. Super stocked. Slow and steady. I thrusted, then ripped a few BMU. Had it not been for the lack of sleep the night before and the rip on my hand, I think I'd have gotten just a bit further. Super proud and excited.

Geat guides, thank you Ben. They make the Open so much more fun for me. Level 1 here. I am debating whether to do part one with C2B singles and then if there's time suffer through some heavy thrusters and be done, or go scaled. Leaning a little towards scaled for safety. I interrupted the BMU Mastery course before the Open. Getting started again right after, many thanks for all you do.

@jinluwang5671 4 ай бұрын

For people struggling with C2B but are strong, doing strict chin-ups in singles could be an option. I tested one round with slow unbroken thrusters and single chin-ups and it took me 1 min 34”. My goal is to finish the first 5 rounds within 10 mins.

The Air Force is moving me so I have been driving. This is my fourth day across the country. When I stop and do the work out and Cookeville tonight I would probably say I’m a 1.5. The problem is I recently recovered from a back problem so my slot isn’t very good so the thrusters are going to be, very slow. But I think I’ll be fine on chest of bars because I have been working a lot on pull-ups. I can do bar muscle up, but they sometimes hurt my rotator cuff injury. This might be a nightmare.

@cdn1588 4 ай бұрын

My goal for this open workout is doing sets of 5 for the first. I feel they'll be more manageable for me. Worst-case scenario on the last two rounds I might break down the C2B into 3s. My goal is to reach the BMU. I've practiced way too hard not to get there. I can now do 7-9 unbroken. I'd feel horrible if I can't get there but something is telling me it won't be that easy to get there 😕

@user-oj2bs8qs7l 4 ай бұрын

The 135 thrusters take a lot out of your entire body for the bmu. I just did it today. If those are going to hurt you, I suggest breaking often on them. I got into my 4th round of heavy thrusters. But plan on going again Sunday to hopefully finish it

@oray.gungor. 4 ай бұрын

For Scaled, 15 cm away from the bar would be limit. Less than that is not acceptable, and in the video it is half a meter, so it is much harder for jumpinf chest to bar. I would suggest to put something on the ground to adjust your head to the bar distance to do it efficiently.

Level 1 here. Why would I ignore the second half? I can't do muscle-ups but I can do the heavy thrusters, so my goal is to hit 107 reps and tie with the thousands who do the same. I won't stop until I get to the BMU section. No need to tie with those who get 100 reps if I can do more after the 1m break.
