I am sure some of you saw this workout and said to yourself ” I can’t overhead squat that” or ” I can’t even do a pull up, let alone a chest to bar pull up” or Well that was fun. I guess I’m out. That was a wasted $20.” If you did, you have missed the entire point of the CrossFit Open. The Open is about participation. It is about doing things you have never done before. It is about conquering self doubt, fear and self imposed limitations. It is about getting your first overhead squat. It is about doing 10 overhead squats and using the remaining time to try to get a chest to bar pull up. It is about getting your first chest to bar pull up. And more.
