SPECULATION about the first workout in the 2012 Crossfit Games is well and truly underway with the first round to be released in less than two days.
In my mind I can break it down to give educated guess and think about my ideal workout.
In all seriousness the only way to predict the WOD is to look back at the 2011 games which more than 26,000 people took part in.
If there's any pattern it's here so let's work with the knowns to sort it out.
- Last year there were six WODS, all AMRAPs (as many rounds and reps as possible to get your best score).
- Each WOD could be completed in a relatively small area, for video recording purposes I'm sure, that cuts out runs, farmers carries and the like.
- The equipment used was the box, bar, rings, medicine ball and skipping rope. So pretty basic.
- Weights were pretty light for the first weeks and it got harder in either weight or reps as the rounds went on.
- Each WOD had two to three movements.
To refresh your memory Week 1 WOD 2011 was:
10 min AMRAP
30 Double-Unders
15 Power Snatches (M 75lbs/35kg : W 55lbs/25kg)
My prediction Week 1 WOD 2012:
10 min AMRAP
10 chest to overheads (M 100lbs/45kg : W 65lbs/30kg)
15 burpee box jumps
I'd like to add situps in there but it's not according to the 2011 pattern.
What I'd like to see:
10 min AMRAP
10 overhead squats (M 100lbs/45kg : W 65lbs/30kg)
10 pull ups
30 double-unders
Although I think my arms would get sore but I'd like a combination like that.
