CLASH AT COVE: WORKOUT TWO
“NICE TO MEET YOU OLY”
“
Each two-person team will be given a single lifting station with two barbells (one 20kg and one 15 kg) and a set of weights. Each station will be equipped with one whiteboard and one marker.
During each lift, the athlete must declare the lift and the load will be marked on a whiteboard for the fans. The lowest fractional plate that can be used is a 2 ½ pound plate.
Athlete 1 will perform a 1 rep max snatch during THREE one-minute lifting intervals. There will be a mandatory one-minute rest interval between work intervals (weights can be adjusted during this time). Within each work interval, the athlete can only make TWO attempts to perform a successful lift and it must at the declared weight at the onset of the interval.
The second athlete can assist with loading or adjusting the barbell for their partner at any point. All weights must be secured by clamps/clips during all lifts.
If the lift is failed after two attempts in the working minute, that work interval is completed.
Failed lifts include not controlling the barbell inside the lifting stations and not standing up fully showing control of the weight.
After the final snatch work interval, the barbell can now be loaded for a 1 rep max clean attempt. The clean must be performed by Partner 2. The clean will follow the same rules and format as the previous snatch lift.
Any variation of the clean and snatch can be performed (power, squat, hang, split) but the lift must start at the ground and reach its endpoint with the athlete standing up and controlling the load fully inside the designated lifting area.
The score will be the combined weights of the heaviest clean and snatch successfully lifted.

CLASH AT THE COVE: WORKOUT ONE
“The Open Prequel”
Clash at the Cove is fast approaching (Saturday, February 3rd) and we are looking for a lot more sign-ups. Although this is a “competition”, it is a competition based around supporting one another and having fun.
We have almost always done the Clash as a partner comp as we want you to experience the day with someone else. We want you to be able to celebrate with them, to pick them up, and to have them pick you up at some point.
To help people get an idea what the workouts might look like, we are releasing workout one. It’s a near repeat of the opening workout at Clash at the Cove in 2016! We have tweaked it slightly and it’s the perfect workout as the CrossFit Open is coming.
WOD 1
“The Open Prequel”
8 Minute AMRAP of the following movements between both partners:
RX TEAMS
30 Wall Balls 20/14
30 Double Unders
20 Pull Ups
20 Bar Facing Burpees
10 Cleans (155/105)
10 Shoulder to Overhead (155/105)
5 Snatches (135/85)
15 Chest-to-Bar Pull Ups or 5 Bar Muscle ups (every 3 C2B Pulls = 1 BMU)
SCALED TEAMS
8 Minute AMRAP of the following movements between both partners:
30 Wall Balls 14/10
60 Single Unders
20 Jumping Pull Ups
20 Burpees over the bar
10 Cleans (85/65)
10 Jerks (85/65)
5 Snatches (75/55)
5 Kipping Pull Ups or 15 Jumping Chest-to-Bar Pull Ups (every 3 jumping C2B Pull Ups = 1 Pull Up)
This is a version of the Ben Bergeron “Open Test” WOD he developed to prep his athletes for the Open (for those of you who don’t know, he has trained top Games athletes including Matt Fraser, Cole Sager, Chris Speller, Becca Voigt, Katrin Davidsdottir and James Hobart (to name a few).
This will test everyone for sure. It is a shared sprint between you and your partner and ends up being a race to see if you can get back and hopefully deeply into the wall balls. The tiebreaker will be the time in which you complete your last movement. For everyone else, it will be a race against the clock to get back to that wall! If some of the weights or movements concern you for this workout, do not worry about it as we will partner you with someone who can help you with those movements. Don’t worry if a movement isn’t a strength of yours. That’s where you lean on your partner! For example, only one of the two of you has to be able to do anything in this workout, and we will strategically pair you up with someone who can complement you as best as possible! Movement standards will be reviewed at the event, but will mimic CrossFit Games/Open standards.
If you have any questions about this workout or anything for the competition, please do not hesitate to reach out to us. We want you to join in on the day as an athlete, volunteer, or fan. Sign up at the whiteboard or you can sign up virtually here.
