Open 11.5 Open WOD - Scaling & Strategy

Attribute	Score	Explanation
Endurance	7/10	Twenty minutes of continuous work stresses the aerobic system. Sustainable breathing and steady pacing are required to keep moving without long breaks, especially as grip and midline fatigue accumulate across many rounds.
Stamina	8/10	High total reps across three movements demand muscular endurance in shoulders, hips, and core. Success hinges on repeating submaximal efforts with short rests and holding consistent set sizes as fatigue builds.
Strength	4/10	Loads are moderate, emphasizing repeated submaximal efforts rather than max strength. Athletes need enough baseline strength to cycle 145/105 lb cleans efficiently under fatigue.
Flexibility	2/10	Basic ranges of motion—front-rack for cleans, hip flexion for toes-to-bar, and full squat depth for wall balls—are required, but no extreme mobility limits most athletes.
Power	6/10	Power cleans and explosive wall ball drives reward crisp extension. Efficient hip snap for toes-to-bar also benefits from explosive timing without turning efforts into slow grinds.
Speed	5/10	While not a sprint, faster cycle rates and quick transitions matter. Athletes must avoid redlining early and instead hold smooth, repeatable speeds across many rounds.

Modality:

Stimulus:

Steady, repeatable rounds with small, sustainable sets and short rests. Breathing should feel controlled but pressed, with grip and core steadily taxed. Aim for consistent round times rather than big early sets. The wall balls should be mostly unbroken or in two quick sets; barbell cycling smooth and snappy; toes-to-bar managed to prevent blow-ups.

Insight:

Open with your 80% pace and hold it. Plan toes-to-bar in quick, repeatable sets (e.g., 5-3-2 or 4-3-3) and minimize chalk breaks. Keep transitions under five seconds. Your one big key: breathe through wall balls and keep them unbroken or in two crisp sets all workout. Avoid death-grip cleans, sloppy kip on toes-to-bar, and resting too long between movements.

Scaling:

Scale to: 115/75 lb power cleans • Hanging knee raises or toes-to-rings • 14/10 lb wall ball to 10/9 ft (or 9/8 ft target)
