The bad news...
Very few love performing the Open workouts, and enduring 5 weeks of pain (especially if you repeat the workouts multiple times). But many of us do enjoy training for the Open and seeing the hard work from months of preparation in the off-season pay off. For over 99% of CrossFit athletes, the goal is to attack weaknesses and move up the leaderboard or see tangible fitness gains every year.
The good news...
Mayhem Open Prep can help you see the progress each year in your fitness! Open Prep is challenging and may push you to your limits, but will take those who trust the process further than they thought they could ever go.
It will assist with improving overall work capacity all while still developing every component of fitness. Training includes everything that appears in the Open each year and potential movements that could come up in future Open seasons.
Programming includes metcons, strength, gymnastics, conditioning, and more to fully equip the fitness athlete. This program will contain a specific order of workouts, so athletes will know the order to complete the workouts and how to optimize training each day.
Those subscribed to Open Prep will also gain access to Compete in SugarWOD (all still for $49.95/month).
Who is this for?
The athlete looking to compete during the Open, Local Competitions, Online Qualifiers and/or Sanctionals.
This program is targeted for the athlete who has not been to a Sanctional or to the CrossFit Games. This is for athletes that still wants to do as well as possible in the CrossFit Open or simply continue to improve every day.
How long will it take each day?
This program will usually take around 1-2 hours to complete each day.
How to know if I should switch from Mayhem Open Prep to Mayhem Compete?
• If you have been following Mayhem Open Prep for at least 6 months, have seen consistent progress, and are ready for more of a challenge.
• Or if you have competed in at least 2 Open Seasons and are used to training for 2-3 hours for 4-5 days a week.
